9 Sites to Learn English Online Free


Priceless English Learning (Literally): 9 Sites to Learn English Online Free

Want to have your cake and eat it too?
That’s how English speakers say, “have all the good stuff, all at once.”
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work with cake. Once you eat the cake, you don’t have it anymore. You’ve got to go out and buy more, or deal with the sugar cravings.
But we’re not here to talk about cake.
We’re here to talk about how you can learn English. And do it for free. And do it on your own schedule.
The nine incredible English courses in this article will get you started. They offer classroom-quality English learning, for free online.
There are options for all levels and learning goals, including some opportunities to earn an English certificate for your resume.
You can truly have your (metaphorical) cake and eat it too.

Ask Yourself: Is an Online English Class

Right for You?

Online learning has lots of unique benefits for many types of

English learners. Ask yourself these questions to find out if you

should consider signing up for an online class:
  • Do you have a busy schedule? If so, online language learning could be perfect for you. Online classes often use a self-paced lesson plan, meaning you complete the assignments on your own schedule. Plus, you don’t have to show up for class at a specific time every week. There are usually video lectures that you can watch whenever you want.
  • Do you get bored easily by traditional learning materials? Online classes solve this problem. They typically offer a variety of unique learning tools, like video and audio lessons, flashcards, educational games, etc.
Again, you can access these whenever you’d like, whereas a traditional classroom wouldn’t be able to offer 24/7 access to learning tools and information.
  • Do you know what your strengths and weaknesses are in English? The classes we’ll be covering specifically focus on particular learning goals that include listening, writing, reading, vocabulary, grammar or comprehension. So if you already know what aspects of English you need to focus on, you’ll find something that works.
Of course, many of these courses also focus on more general English learning goals. So if you just want to advance to the next level, you can learn English online free, too.
Once you get in the habit of studying online an
d feel yourself progressing in English, it’ll be easier and easier to make time for online lessons every day. You may even find that you get hooked on online English learning and want to graduate from beyond just free classes.



If that’s the case, the first tool to check out is FluentU. This innovative platform will take you beyond your initial online English learning into a world of authentic English speech, vocabulary and culture.
