Here are the primary ones:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Huge database of teachers.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There are about 10 thousand educators on the platform, both native and non-native speakers, sometimes speaking several languages. To search for a native, you need to put a special checkbox. Every teacher has their own teaching approach and program. The list of languages exceeds 190, with rare exotic languages included.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Learning in your native language.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iTalki app<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can find a foreign language teacher who teaches in your native language. Or in English, that is universal. This way of learning is popular among Chinese language students and other Asian languages.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Free language practice with members of the community.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you are not ready to pay for lessons or want to have some informal chit-chats, you can search for a speaking partner on the platform for free.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Other skills training<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iTalki app<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> includes: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writing skills \u2014 in a special section, you can publish any text in your practicing language, so that community members can correct your spelling and grammar. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Listening skills \u2014 you can train your language listening ear with thematic podcasts available on the platform. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Testing your knowledge \u2014 you can check your level of knowledge by completing tests for varied levels of training.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, the iTalki community is always willing to share new thematic content with language learners on the forums.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When answering \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does iTalki work<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u201d, we can\u2019t help but talk about the types of teachers on the platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"types_of_teaching_in_the_italki_app\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Types of Teaching in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iTalki App<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During registration in the app, they will ask you to enter some data, including your country, learning language, native language, and time zone. And then you will see the teacher search screen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is iTalki<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when it comes to the types of teachers? It offers two different options: certified teachers and informal community tutors.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Professional Teachers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are usually certified teachers from foreign schools, colleges, and universities. Video lessons with a certified teacher implies a clear structure, homework, etc. It makes sense to buy such lessons if you need to take a specialized course like business English or prefer well-prepared lessons for beginners.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Community Tutors<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, on the contrary, have no professional background. Though, compared to free language practice, when you speak with a casual person in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iTalki app<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, lessons with tutors focus on your needs and goals, and the tutor does his best to help you. It is an ideal option for those who want to practice speaking skills.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In each teacher\u2019s profile, in addition to certification and professional experience, you will also see a brief video presentation. It will help you to understand whether you want to study with this particular person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professional teachers usually offer different lesson options at different prices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>So, how is the iTalki registration look like?
