Free Study English ProgramsFive Points to Help You Choose a Good Program I have noticed many people are looking for free study English programs on the internet. Indeed, there are many free programs on the internet. How can you choose a good one? 1. Do you have to register?Some of my students do not want to give out their e-mail addresses or other personal information. You should consider the site when you are thinking about starting a free program. What do you think they are trustworthy? Do they have an anti-spam policy? Do they have products that they are trying to sell? Upgrades?What other information do they need from you? 2. How much do you have to work at them?Is there a time commitment in this program? Do you have to be awake at certain times to join a chat classroom (based in another country)?Of course, you may not make a commitment, but then you are not serious about studying, and you will probably get poor results. On the other hand, when can access the program? For instance, I would like to learn more Japanese using the iknow site. But I don't have spare time, so I cannot study on that site. 3. What skills do they help you learn?Think about the free study English program that you are considering. Does the program teach you grammar? Vocabulary? Listening? A mixed set of skills?If you already have a large knowledge grammar, but cannot speak fluently, then you do not need to study more grammar; you need to practice speaking it. On the other hand, some sites offer programs that are mostly vocabulary oriented, and that will not help you study advanced grammar. 4. Are they teaching you anything new?I have already studied lots of Japanese.If I go to the iknow site, I will get a great language review, but I will not learn a lot of new vocabulary. How about the free study English program you are using? Does it teach you anything new? Or is it mostly review? Perhaps you feel more comfortable with review. Take some time to think about these things before you spend a lot of your valuable time working on a free program. 5. Are they deep enough?I noticed that some free study English programs have great beginner level courses, but they run out when you move on to more difficult content. Will the program you are considering run out just when you are getting better? Will the program support youy through to high levels, so you can become fluent?Scent of an Angry ManVerb List1. Wish away to want something unpleasant to disappear without doing anything to make it disappear 2. Add up to to have a particular result or effect; or to become a particular amount 3. Bail out to help a person or organization by giving them money 4. Get carried away to be so excited about something that you do not control what you say or do and you forget about everything else 5. Doze off to gradually start to sleep, especially during the day Mustafah was very angry at his nephew three weeks ago. Mustafah works hard raising civet cats for musk, and earns a decent income but he is not rich. His nephew studies at University, and got carried away one night drinking with his friends. As his nephew drove home, he dozed off and had a car accident, causing a lot of damage. It was more damage than his parents could pay for, and Mustafah had to bail his nephew out. Now he has trouble paying his own debts. He knows he can't wish away his problems. This adds up to a very unhappy family and Mustafah has not talked to his brother or nephew for almost three weeks.
