A New English School for Short Attention Spans and Busy Lives

We hate to brag (no wait, that's not true - we love bragging), but EF Englishtown is now officially the world's most flexible language school.

Juggling everything in life is hard. Learning English while juggling is even harder.

Of the many challenges faced by our students, time is probably the most common. Finding opportunities to study while managing a career, a family, and even a commute can be incredibly difficult. To make matters worse, many of our students find it difficult to return to a student mind-set, or have never taken an online course in their lives. Efekta 13 is another step towards bringing the classroom to them and giving them the support to succeed.  

Language lessons for short attention spans

Our courses are designed to slip effortlessly into a schedule filled with morning trains, deadlines, crying babies, rushed meals, and possibly some heartburn. The new tasks take only minutes, and our iPad app allows them to be completed on the go. Our teachers are experts in online learning, and are great at helping students feel comfortable going "back to school," so to speak. And finally, the students themselves form a valuable community, and many of them share your time pressures and concerns. You may be learning online, but you're definitely not on your own.

The sun never sets on Englishtown

At any hour of day you can find one of our teachers leading a group lesson or private lesson, somewhere around the world. In fact, we provide over one million hours of language teaching per month (the most in the industry), and 29,000 hours of group lessons and 600 hours of one-on-one instruction take place every week. But big numbers don't mean that our students get lost in the crowd. Rather, social interaction is encouraged within the community to add another layer of support beyond our teachers.

So…what's new in version 13?
