How to learn English in Singapore? Even with zero foundation, one can achieve quick success
Learning English in Singapore is simply a "survival KPI" for every new immigrant, professional, and accompanying parent - even those with zero foundation who cannot recognize all the letters, hoping to quickly say goodbye to the embarrassment of "sign language+loose words". After all, in the Lion City, buying a cup of milk tea requires English, holding a meeting requires English, and holding a parent teacher meeting for children requires English even more. However, the reality is often that after memorizing hundreds of words, one still says' emmm... '; Despite taking countless free online courses, I still can't understand the local auntie's' Singlish '; I enrolled my child in a bunch of classes, but I didn't even understand basic phonics. In fact, learning English in Singapore is not because you lack talent, it's just because you haven't found the right path and method. Even with zero foundation, you can "overtake on the bend".
Step 1: Set a position for the learning objectives first, don't be so busy
The biggest pitfall when studying English in Singapore is being greedy - wanting to practice daily chatting, negotiating for business, and preparing for IGCSE, but ultimately learning only half heartedly. For friends with zero foundation, why not ask yourself first: Is learning English to avoid getting lost while wandering around the street vendor center? Or can we talk confidently with clients in the workplace? Or help the child connect to the local elementary school curriculum? Break down the goals, for example, first solve the "1000 words for daily communication+50 high-frequency sentence patterns", and then gradually progress. Only when the steps are steady can progress be hidden.
Step 2: Immersive Scene Learning, Don't Just Stare at Books and Scratch
The biggest advantage of learning English in Singapore is the 'natural English environment', don't waste it! Instead of facing your phone and asking 'Where is the MRT?', it's better to go directly to the subway station and ask the staff; Instead of memorizing business email templates, it's better to have a colleague simulate a brief 5-minute meeting. Throwing English into real-life scenarios, don't be afraid even if you make mistakes or speak slowly at the beginning - Singaporeans have a high tolerance for non-native speakers, and if you make a mistake, your mouth will be smooth.
Step 3: Choose the right professional institution to avoid three years of detours
Learning English in Singapore with zero foundation is a fast track, and relying solely on personal exploration is too time-consuming. Choosing a language institution that understands the local language and zero foundation pain points is the most efficient shortcut. We have to mention iWorld Learning - a well-established language teaching center rooted in Singapore's CBD and city center, specializing in English teaching. From scratch to advanced, tailored courses can be found for both adults and children.
Why choose iWorld Learning? These points are quite practical

The teaching staff is capable of "fighting":
The teachers here have an average teaching experience of over 15 years, as well as experts in the development of multilingual teaching courses. Some teachers have even participated in the design of English courses for Singapore government schools. They understand the local context and the "difficulty of speaking" of zero foundation learners, so they won't make you stare at complex grammar books.
-
The course is "appropriate":
From Foundation to Advanced, the grading corresponds to CEFR standards (Pre A1 to C1), covering adult daily English, business English, as well as strengthened courses for young people aged 4.5-15 (transition from kindergarten to primary school, all-around primary school, intensive English secondary school, high school IGCSE/IB preparation). For example, in daily English classes for adults, the Oxford Press textbook "English File" is used to simulate real-life scenarios such as shopping, traveling, and socializing, while also incorporating local Singaporean culture; Business English courses focus on practical scenarios such as meetings, negotiations, and speeches, helping professionals quickly adapt to the international business environment.
-
The effect is hardcore enough:
Take the English File textbook as an example, over 90% of teachers have reported that learners who use this textbook have significantly improved their oral skills - this is not just empty talk, but the real result of thousands of classroom lessons.
-
Experience enough "thoughtfulness":
Small class teaching ensures that every student receives attention, and flexible class times are suitable for office workers and student groups; The campus is located in the CBD (Tanjong Pagar) and Orchard Road, close to the subway station, with convenient transportation; There are also supporting services such as visa assistance and academic planning, so you don't have to worry about trivial matters outside of studying.
