English short course - as a story. Interesting!

Can an English course be a story with all episodes connected?
Why not. Here is one example. 
We hope a very good one.

English at work - nice, simple video

Millions of people use English at work. A lot want to speak better at better, so they start language lessons. But there is often a problem with lessons: sometimes they are too hard, sometimes students just do the book work - and they still cannot speak well enough.

What everybody needs is a lot of listening (teachers call it input) - that is easy enough to learn something new and use it later as your language (I call it "stealing" in the good meaning of the word).

Here's a link to a nice, simple video (actually lots of videos):

Interesting links - grammar (and vocabulary)

This link has hundreds of traditional exercises in a clear and friendly form.

Visit the GRAMMAR SECTION  and go to "exercises" and "tenses". You will find all major areas of the English grammar. Fill in the gaps and, then, click "check" to see how much you know (or don't know).

It also contains some very useful vocab practice in a form of collocations (i.e. "drink water", "chilly weather").

Highly recommended!

We will be happy to hear feedback from you!

Useful links - vocabulary

There are thousands links to webpages about English grammar and vocabulary. Some are good, some not. A lot are confusing, a lot copy other pages and teach nothing new.

Organic English  will share their best findings with you (to save time). :)

Here's one of them:

http://www.vocabulary.cl/Lists.htm

It presents a lot of useful vocabulary in interesting context and, then, tests it to see how much you have remembered, or not... Enjoy it! :)

Hello Friends!

This blog is space for us - for students and teachers.

We will share ideas, publish links to useful materials  and make comments.

All is meant to be in English - but because it is mostly for students so "plain" English is highly recommended.
