We’re back with
more tips to improve your level of English and discover those quirky webpages
around the world wide web.
Have you ever wondered if you could do more with your time? Be more effective? Maybe make time work for you instead of against you.
FLUENTU - This website provides 8 tips for super busy people to squeeze English learning into your schedule. Read the introduction as well as the list as it will open up your mind to the whole idea.
One of these tips mentions the Pomodoro Technique that deals with time management. If you are like me, a hectic busy bee, why don't you take a peek at this enlightening technique?
Nowadays, tecnology helps us with learning such as with
the use
of apps. Here is a list of apps that can be both fun and useful:
- Learn SAT vocabulary with this app for iPhones
- Play a game of espionoage with Memrise
- For those not so into fiction, BBC NEWS
- TUNEIN gives you access to live-streaming radio stations from around the world
- and YOUTUBE can also be a treasure trove of info on the topic you love: books, news, films, gaming, art, knitting...
Let's be honest, here. Sometimes we don't want to watch or read anything that is even remotely educational or for learning purposes. That can have the detrimental consequence of us stepping away from the very thing we need to become proficient at. Why not just change our mindset? Forget about watching a video that is catered for English learners. Switch your gears to watching something for fun instead.
Not only will your
listening skills bloom, but you’ll improve your
vocabulary, gain cultural insights and, if you choose
wisely, even learn about something else that interests you. PODCASTS are perfect for this. You can always type your preference on a google search, such as books podcasts or sports podcasts. In the meantime, here is a list of sites for you to peruse:
- Tedtalks
- BBC Podcasts
There's also a treasure trove of quirky videos on YouTube that will feel like all fun and no fuss. Let's focus on accents! How many can you spot?
