Where to practice English



August 9, 2016


Everyone knows the importance of language practice for language learners.  However there is not much discussion about what actually is good practice.  I have seen practice that is next to useless and practice that brings amazing improvements.  So sometimes the reason why people don’t progress as they would like is that they not only may be not getting sufficient practice but maybe they just haven’t learnt how to practice effectively.

    In my experience the most useful page to practice our english in the left column is "Learn english with Tv Shows" because we can practice our reading comprehension at the same time we´re listening, and it´s very funy too. On the right column the most useful is "English Central" this page is segmented in three parts, with different levels of demand that go from beginner to advanced; it´s also funny and easy.

    The most interesting of blog are the variety of links we can see, from newspapers to children´s stories, I seemed very funny this last because I liked that dynamic, there are many places to visit where we can learn the English. The dictionaries are helpful to translate and they are more reliable. The exercise of the song is very nice because we learn better and English make it easier to practice.
