FAQ
Learning a new language is not an everyday endeavor. Here, you'll find answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Why native speakers?
We exclusively collaborate with teachers who have grown up in an English-speaking country – just like on a language stay! This has various reasons:
Authenticity
Firstly, they not only speak well but perfectly in English. This is significantly more realistic, authentic, and therefore more effective than learning Swiss English.
Culture
Furthermore, culture plays a crucial role in communication. For example, the question is often not HOW to say something but WHAT to say in a particular situation (or not say). No one can explain these cultural nuances better than someone who experienced them from childhood, but now resides in Switzerland and can directly compare.
Conversation Topics
Lastly, different home countries with their diverse systems and customs are an almost boundless source of exciting conversations. Therefore, you can look forward to unique personalities with rich cultural backgrounds. Learning becomes an experience, motivation persists, and the learning curve remains steep!
How do I learn English quickest?
First and foremost: Learning a language properly takes time – even with us! We are talking about years rather than weeks. Therefore, maintaining motivation in the long term is crucial for success. At English Sellers, we consciously focus on an entertaining, vibrant form of teaching to keep motivation high and ensure reliable results.
To progress as quickly as possible, both the quality and quantity of learning are crucial. You can influence the quality by having an experienced professional by your side who supports you in a targeted manner and with whom you enjoy learning. As for quantity, generally, the more, the better, but in language learning, as mentioned above, it’s more of a marathon than a sprint. In other words, it’s better to have fewer units per week but to stay committed in the long run. Therefore, we offer no group courses with more than 2×90 minutes per week. If you want to do more, you can always ask your teacher for additional homework or other learning materials such as books, podcasts, or movies to independently (and for free) further develop your feel for the language.
Where do the courses take place?
Courses for private individuals take place at our two centrally located sites in Winterthur and Wängi TG (see Contact & Locations). In addition, corporate courses can be held in your own meeting room in the cantons ZH, TG, AG and SG. Finally, individual lessons and smaller groups can also be taught online.
When do the courses take place?
Learning English with us is an exciting and positive experience. We stand by our name to ensure this. To achieve this, we take the time to personally get to know each individual interested. Only after this initial acquaintance can we, with confidence, recommend a course or potentially start a new one for you. To avoid creating false expectations, we do not publish our course times. Instead, we provide individual and personal consultation to each interested party.
Are the courses tax-deductible?
Yes. Our courses are considered non-company-specific further education, making them VAT-exempt and tax-deductible.
Does English Sellers have anything to do with sales?
No. 😉 Sellers is the last name of our co-founder, Dan Sellers.
What are our clients saying?
At first, many see the lessons as a necessary evil to achieve a certain goal. After just a few sessions, they are surprised to find that authentic learning can be motivating and enjoyable. What was once a necessary evil becomes an exciting hobby and sometimes even the highlight of the week!
