Best apps to learn English

-

Apps are a great tool for learning English. They are quick, easy to access and fun. It’s almost like having a mini classroom on your phone – there to use whenever you are bored or have some time to kill. And although apps can’t replace your real-life teacher, they do make great supplements to your regular English classes. Many offer games for vocabulary, grammar lessons, storybooks and audios. So if you haven’t downloaded one already, what are you waiting for?



1. Duolingo

One of the reasons it’s so popular is the leaderboard challenge, where you are competing against other real players. It feels just like a game – one where you unlock the levels and win virtual coins, but all the while you’re collecting new vocabulary and grammatical structures. Learning English has never been so fun – or so addictive!


2. The British Council

This is a great one for getting to grips with grammar. The Learn English British Council app has lessons and games on a variety of topics. Starting with beginner level Imperatives, Questions, Simple Present and Gerunds, all the way up to advanced lessons on Modal Verbs of Obligation and Necessity – there’s something for everyone. Once you’ve finished, click ’test’ to check your progress and see how much you’ve improved.


3. HelloTalk

Don’t have a suitable speaking partner? No problem! HelloTalk is a free app which connects you with over 15 million members. That means you’ll definitely find a native speaker to teach you English. The only catch is you have to teach them your language in return – it works like a language exchange. If you’re feeling too shy to video call, don’t panic! There’s also the option to text and voice record, alongside tools for translation and pronunciation.

Although people still talk about different types of English – American English, Australian English, Indian English – it is interesting to notice how close these are to each other nowadays. Any native speaker reading or listening to another "type" of English will understand almost every word. Of course, there are differences, and this article gives a few examples of the variation that still exists between American and British English. However, largely because of global communication, cinema, television and especially the internet, different types of English have influenced each other a lot recently. This is typically coming in one direction – from the USA to Britain – and it has changed our daily language significantly. Teens and young adults in Britain use American vocabulary that has crossed the Atlantic all the time – things that young speakers like a lot are described as  cool  or  awesome , and, as a way to refuse to do something impossible, we often hear the phrase...

  1. Read Read as much as you can in English. No matter what it is, from cartoons to British literature anything counts. Naturally if you wish to develop I would recommend you to choose something that provides you a challenge. So renew your library pass, subscribe to your favorite English magazine or go online! 2. Immerse Understanding British or American culture can be a part of language learning. There are a lot of expressions or situations that can be understood and remembered better if you know a couple of customs, behavioral patterns, books or poemas.  It is always fascinating to realize that you understand a short story, a text or even longer pieces of art in English. 3.

You can start your own blog (learn more how to set up your blog) in English about your hobby, travel experiences or anything that interests you.
