Do you prefer learning from apps or in a classroom? How do they compare?

A natural way to answer

They serve different purposes. Apps are convenient and good for daily practice and vocabulary, whereas a classroom gives you feedback, structure and real conversation. Ideally I use both together.

Key phrases to use

• hold a candle to — to be nearly as good as (usually used in the negative)“No app can hold a candle to a great teacher.”
• on your toes — alert, ready to react, and not allowed to get complacent“A good teacher keeps you on your toes.”
