Fascinating ways to learn English

Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you some exciting methods and resources to learn or improve your English.

Sure, dictionaries are the first step to go. For example, I use such apps as “Linguee”, “Universal dictionary Dict Box”, “Oxford Dictionary of English” but it’s a bit limited if you use it free, and “Oxford Anvanced Learner’s dictionary”.

I prefer them because they all provide several definitions, transcription to see how words are pronounced, examples in sentences, idioms where words can be used and how it’s more correct to use them. Moreover, from a linguistic point of view, these dictionaries unpack words in terms of grammar and morphology.

The next method for me is audio resources, for example youtube, where you can relish TED Talks or various podcasts. I find it essential to not only read and learn, but also develop my listening skills. The most precious criteria of such a resource is the speech of native speakers that helps you to get used to the accent and see how words or phrases are used in speech. Moreover, as a bonus I like to get new knowledge and information from such “talks”.

The last method is more of a tip to those who study languages. I’m not even talking about turning on the English language on your phone, it’s obvious:) The significant thing is to download apps in English, or of English origin from the start. As an example, I relish “The Pattern” app, which reads you and your cycles in life, tells you about certain periods that are connected with astrology but not in the way you might think. It is just something that helps you to be more aware of what is happening inside of you and how outside events may influence it. I appreciate the language that is used there. As I read something I always find new interesting and amazing words that I couldn’t even come up with before. Again, it’s only an example.

(Let me share some screenshots with you, in case someone is interested. Please, treat it with kindness, because I’m sharing intimate things with you as I trust you) 🙏🏻

This method in general is about topics you’re interested in being turned into a resource where you read what you like and at the same time improve your English and vocabulary.

That’s all for today. Thank you for reading it!
