How to learn English best/fastest
Do you want to learn English and improve your skills? Have you hardly spoken any English so far and haven’t bothered with anything else? It’s time to get active and take action. In Switzerland, the environment is much more international and the demands are higher.
Whether in the school system, in leisure time or at work – English is simply indispensable in many areas. Without the appropriate knowledge, you will face difficult challenges in everyday life. If you have already experienced this several times and want to avoid the language barrier, you should be quick and learn English.
But what is the best and fastest way to learn English? Online tools are one option, but they are not as effective or motivating. Private English lessons, on the other hand, allow you to ask questions in between and build up your English skills according to your ability.
In this guide, we’ll tell you in a little more detail what options are available to you and why private English lessons are the best solution for children and adults alike – including explanations and the benefits of private lessons.
What are the basic options available?
As mentioned above, you can sign up for language programmes like Babbel and learn English there. This is not nearly as expensive, but no one will show you your weaknesses.
In addition, there is no contact person; if you have questions or problems, you can only do your own research or repeat the exercise. The situation is different with private English lessons. Here you are offered a feel-good programme. Qualified experts teach you English in a pleasant atmosphere.
At Millstream, for example, we offer you the luxurious situation of being able to expand your English knowledge comfortably and absolutely stress-free – you have the choice and can decide whether you would rather learn online and from home or stationary in our premises.
Without a longer stay, private English lessons are the best & most effective solution
Are you not planning a longer stay but still want to improve your English skills for life in Canton Zug? Then there is demonstrably no better solution than learning in a private English course.
As your qualified experts with over 15 years of experience as native teachers, we offer you an English course that is tailored to your needs and existing knowledge. Tailor-made and perfect to achieve significant results in just a short time.
When choosing the perfect private English course for you, it is imperative that you pay attention to a few aspects. Not every private English course is suitable; it is not uncommon for private individuals to advertise them in order to supplement their household budget.
Do you want to enjoy professional English lessons and benefit from the knowledge of absolute experts? Then you should make sure that the respective teachers have the appropriate certificates.
Learn English for all levels
Do you consider yourself a beginner or have you already obtained advanced certificates and are assigned to level B1, for example? You’ve come to the right place – regardless of your language ability.
Have you heard of the European Framework of Reference? If not, no problem. This divides your language skills into the following performance areas:
A1
A2
B1
B2
C1
C2
A1 is the level for beginners, while C2 is the highest level and perfect mastery of the English language. Private English lessons offer you the opportunity to develop your language skills.
By means of a placement test, we can easily determine which language level you belong to. It also makes our job easier, because we can prepare for your abilities from the beginning and offer you an all-round successful private lesson.

As Switzerland, and especially the Zug area, is more international, a sound knowledge of English is a great advantage. Would you like to learn English in Zug or Baar? Contact us – we will provide you with a personalised service at a fair price.
Why should children learn English?
In Swiss cantons like Zug, the environment is much more international than in other countries. Accordingly, it is important that your children learn English as early as possible. However, we still often meet parents or hear of examples where the importance of a sound knowledge of English is completely underestimated.
Do you feel the same way and wonder why it is important for your children to learn English? Then the following paragraphs are just right for you. Unlike other countries, many Swiss cartons have the advantage that bilingual kindergartens are not in short supply. Schools also place a high value on English.
You can and should make use of these conditions for your children – because any advantages in the world language have a positive effect on everyday life, communication with other children and later life. However, these are by no means all the reasons why your children should start learning English at an early age.
We didn’t need English in the past – you should quickly get rid of this prejudice.
In many families, parents tend to want their children to learn Swiss German first. This is quite understandable, especially since previous generations may have done the same.
But this prejudice is completely outdated. We live in a digital world with a modern infrastructure – every year there are big changes – be it the smartphone or other technical innovations. But the professional world is also evolving and becoming more international, which is exactly why learning English at an early age is so immensely important.
If you have been thinking the same way and would now like some advice – don’t hesitate to contact us. We are happy to help you and are experts in all aspects of learning English for your child.
Reason number one: Is bilingual really that important?
An early introduction to the English language allows your children to learn other foreign languages more quickly and easily later in life. Schools often talk about bilingual in this context – but how important is it?
The fact is that children cannot start learning a second language early enough. Bilingual is an important topic and brings many advantages, such as:
Your child has a much easier time at school
They can communicate better with English-speaking friends and acquaintances.
Your child benefits on a cognitive level
Influences career path and paves the way for a socially successful life.
So, as you have correctly seen, there are a multitude of reasons for learning English and the factor of a bilingual life.
Other reasons why your children should learn English
An early start in the world of English learning provides your children with a variety of other benefits. On the one hand, it provides a good foundation to build on later with a fantastic knowledge base.
But that’s not all, because your children will gain more self-confidence through a sound knowledge of English. Learning English provides an unforgettable sense of achievement. Every little bit of progress increases the willingness to learn, and it also has a positive effect on reading skills.
Does your child want to study later and do you value certain privileges? Access to prestigious universities is already highly competitive. This situation is likely to become more acute in the coming years.
If your child speaks English fluently and has the foreign language firmly integrated, this can strengthen the profile – with several foreign language skills, your child creates an impression and this is a very decisive convenience in today’s increasingly globalised world.

Save time. Do you have to drive somewhere after work and look for a parking space or sit on the bus for 30 minutes? You don’t have to be home until 22:00 again? With our online lessons you can learn easily and comfortably during your lunch break, at the office or at home without wasting a minute of your commute. More time for you, your hobbies and your family.
Convenience. Kids at home and you can’t get away or have mobility problems? You prefer to study in your flat with your favourite hoodie and your Twinings Earl Grey tea next to your cats? Why not? It’s also nice to be home after class. It’s like having a private teacher at home but no need to clean up!
