ENGLISH LEARNING SERVICES.

Hello group:

As you know the amount of Internet resources regarding English practice and English learning is so huge that one can easily get lost. I have chosen three sites from three media networks. They have a special section for learning English. They are varied: one from Australia, one from Britain and one from U.S. Maybe you know the BBC's service. It's a more interesting way of practising. Forget about boring books.

I hope you find them useful.

IMPROVE YOUR PRONUNCIATION.

Hi everyone:

I think holidays (if you have) is a good time to practise a bit (come on, don't be lazy). That's why I leave two good links from the BBC learning English service and BBC/ British Council teaching English websites.

The first link is also about phonetics, but in this case you have videos in which you're explained about how to pronounce. You only have to click the sound you want to practise. There's also some fun if you go to "quizzes" section. My experience in my speaking class was very positive, so why not trying?

The second link is about the phonemic chart. Yes, I know it may seem a bit difficult or specialised. Don't be afraid, you mustn't learn them by heart, it's just for your information.

I hope you like them.

Sorry for its size. It can't be bigger.

PODCASTS.

Hello everyone:

This post is to remind you about the podcasts Erik proposed some time ago. Maybe the oldest members have the links but I prefer to put all our stuff together. I will also leave them in the link area of the blog.
