The most motivated and consistent, if they want to achieve a basic knowledge of English or want to refresh the notions they have already acquired, can adopt a few small tricks to
learn English on their own
:

• 
  listen to songs in English
  (preferably pop, as rap and rock are more difficult to understand) with the lyrics in front of you, so that you can try to associate understanding the words with their pronunciation as well;
• 
  watching movies and TV series
  , interviews and video content in English: by choosing subtitled versions you can read, as well as listen to, the dialogue;
• 
  test themselves
  with free online tests to gain greater awareness of one’s level of preparation;
• chat online with friends who live abroad, or who know English very well. In this regard, there are also
  language exchange sites
  that connect people who want to learn a language;
• 
  reading articles
  , magazines and e-books in English: contextualizing a term within a sentence allows you to understand it better.

teacher
: to see if he is for you, try searching his name on the Web so you can find his references and the opinions of those who have already attended his classes.

price
