If you're struggling with a language course or just want to study a few phrases for your next foreign vacation, take a look at EduFire.com. They connect language learners with dozens of potential tutors. Each tutor lists their qualifications, a photo, and their price per hour of teaching. Prices vary between the instructors and most seem to charge between $10 and $45.
Here's how EduFire creators describe their mission:
“Our goal is to create a platform to allow live learning to take place over the Internet anytime from anywhere.Most importantly…for anyone. We're the first people (we know) to create something that's totally open and community-driven (rather than closed and transaction-driven).
We're excited to create tools for people to teach and learn what they love in ways they never imagined possible.”
If you don't want to shell out for the personal instruction, you may want to check out their language learning videos. They offer hundreds of short videos in languages such as Spanish, French, and Turkish. They seem to be mostly YouTube videos; however, this is an easy way to find subject-specific clips all in one place.
