English has always been one of the top languages to learn. This has driven the production of any number of English language courses and language learning systems.
Up until recently, learning English has mostly been an off line activity however new technologies such as internet telephony are having a big impact on the way people learn a foreign language. Verbalplanet.com;
Verbalplanet offers a different and uniquely web based system to learning English through online language lessons using Skype, the leading internet telephony service. The Verbalplanet.com system represents an extremely flexible approach to language learning with students being able to choose an online English tutor from anywhere in the world whilst also having the flexibility to schedule English classes around work or family commitments using a personal online tuition diary.

At the heart of Verbalplanet's solution is a belief that learning a language is all about real people engaging in real conversation. All English lessons undertaken through the Verbalplanet site are 100% interactive with a tutor lead approach which focuses on verbal communication skills. An online English language course is also a great way to get the benefits of one to one English language training and tuition without any of the hassles of travelling, large class sizes or lack of an available English language teacher.
"English remains one of the most popular languages to learn. Now using the internet anyone can bring their studies to life in a way not possible with traditional self study methods. Online English classes with a private tutor are a great way to build confidence in speaking the language as well as perfecting your accent and building fluency. A student that lacks confidence in their own ability will thrive under the guidance of a good tutor." says Andy Moore of Verbalplanet.com.
“One of the biggest benefits of learning a language online is that distance is no longer a barrier to education and the web can provide the learner with a truly interactive experience. For example, using Verbalplanet.com anyone learning English can engage the services of an online tutor and enjoy online English lessons from the comfort of their own home, regardless of where they happen to be in the world.” Adds Moore.
One to one online classes also enable the tutor to devote their attention to the student for a significant period of time, focusing far more on that particular student’s needs and abilities than is possible in a crowded classroom. The web based system provided by Verbalplanet aims to provide professional English language training at an affordable price whilst allowing the student to relax in familiar surroundings allowing them to feel more confident and more willing to discuss areas of difficulty.
Verbalplanet.com operates around a market based format so students have the ability to shop around and select a private language teacher according to a range of criteria including price, location, available lesson times and feedback from previous students.
Included with every English teacher listed on Verbalplanet.com is a profile of their teaching background, qualifications and teaching approach, which allows the user to get to know a potential tutor before booking lesson time. The availability of free trial lessons by many of the English tutors listed on the site also means that it is possible to evaluate the service for free before committing to buying further lesson time.
