49 euros to have a lesson a day: student Micros perspective
Many times teachers and their stories are in the spotlight on Myngle, so this time we asked one of the students of our summer and back to school promotions to tell us his experience. Is Micros learning well, what progress has he made in the last month? Find it out here
“When I first heard about Myngle’s summer immersion promotion, I really liked the idea of having dozens of private lessons for such a low price. Especially when I realized that it would be great for MY Italian, too! So I quickly registered and found an enthousiastic teacher from Napoli, Hamlet.
Ever since then we have been doing a 30 minute lesson every morning before I go to work. Since Italian is now the first language I speak after waking up, the new words and grammar keep repeating in my head
the rest of the day. I am surprised how much my Italian has improved with just this little effort of getting up a bit earlier! Besides, with 30-minutes lessons I never get too tired, I really feel they are much more effective than a longer one, and fun at the same time.
What is even nicer is that now I have a friend in Napoli, who not only teaches me grammar, expressions and pronunciation, but also talks about Italian cinema, music and culture. ‘La dolce vita,’ the music from Lucio Battisti, I can even sing some Italian songs now ;-). As soon as I knew there was a promotion for the month of September, too, I was happy that I could continue our lessons on a daily basis. Three colleagues of mine have also started to learn foreing languages through Myngle.
I’m really looking forward to my next trip to Italy, I think my Italian friends are going to be amazed!”

Daily French on Myngle
Somehow an angel appeared before me bearing a great gift. The angel was Myngle`s promotion and Skype and the greatest gift of all was a teacher who was willing to put in the effort to teach me.
I was so excited to have the opportunity to take a daily French lesson via Myngle`s summer promotion.
In total, I received 33 lessons, during the summer promotion.
This gift (teacher), named Stephanie, is a mother to three small children, the daughter she delivered recently, her small pre-school aged son and 53 year old me.
Stephanie musters the loving patience and attentiveness of a mother helping a small child to improve in their attempts at communication. I`m probably worse than a small child to teach because I am so slow and aware of mistakes .
Yet Stephanie soldiers on with me improving my vocab, improving my grasp of idioms and expressions, improving my fluidity, listening to me and not correcting every mistake but, correcting me enough to move me along.
I have improved so much with this Myngle summer promo and Stephanie`s patience, skill, and attention, that signed up for September as well.
For any language learner, who is trying to improve their listening and speaking skills, there is no substitute for practise with a native language teacher. But you need the right one at the right price.
Say maybe there is a god. My prayers were answered.
