Welcome everyone. I'm Canadian but living in Scotland. The last time I studied anything was forty years ago … I'm a bit nervous! Good luck, everyone!

Hello. I'm so happy to be doing this course. I've finished two other online courses this year so I'm looking forward to my third. I'm from Vietnam by the way. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Hi! Looks like I'm the first one here so … hi to everyone who joins the course and nice to meet you! Good luck with the course and see you in the next lesson!

Tips

1. Keep your introduction short and clear.

2. Say hello and give a little bit of information about yourself. Don’t say anything too private or personal.

3. You can say what you hope to get or learn.

4. Wish people good luck.

5. You don’t have to write full sentences.

6. You might use more exclamation marks (!) than in formal writing because it looks friendly.

Hi guys! I'm peruvian. For me the best thing about studying online is that I can connect anywhere and anytime so I save lot of time and I can enjoy being at home with my family. I also like it because it is cheaper than face-to-face class.

For me, the best thing about studying online is I can management my course and time myself. And I have autonomy to survey the kinds of thing I want to learn and build my knowledge my self.

hello, i'm from Pakistan!! i want to learn English for my carrier. if i learn English the world my own oyster.

i like studying online . actually i love that all things about self education that make you progress than your friends .and it is very useful and no one force you to learn something that you dont like and in the end you get global certificates

Previous, I don't like to study from online. I thought that I don't able to study online class well. Now, I can't go anywhere because of Corona Virus ! So, I started online learning ! I knew that online class benefits ! We can study all course from online and we don't need to go anywhere . We can learn every time and everywhere . But , need to study carefully ! Now , I really like it !

I prefer to study online because it’s save time and i can manage my course with my full time job.

What I like the most about studying online is the chance of learning from home which helps you avoid a waste of time commuting. In addition, I think it is also worth considering the fact that many online courses bring you the possibility of choosing the time when you want to do it, therefore you can choose whether you want to do it in the morning, in the afternoon or in the evening; depending on what time best suits you. Finally, another important advantage to point out is that most of the time you can manage how fast you want to move forward with the course. Each person has its own way of learning and some may learn faster than others, so online courses are good for those who prefer to take some time to better understand each concept.

I like studying online because we can learn everywhere and every time. And then we can save the time to go the place where we learn. After that most of the online classes are free. That's why I really like online learning.

i like online courses because i study from home and at any time

I am really like studying online due to an easy way to follow and you can looking forward to seeing it in any time wherever you are? , Good luck to everyone, I look forward to writing to you.
