Is it useful to study at home before I take a course?
No, it is absolutely not necessary to study at home before you start a course, even if you are a beginner. You will be in a class with students that are of the same level as you are. There are also groups for absolute beginners. If you feel more confident by studying a litte at home, of course you are free to do so.
