Study English
Course and Improve in Four Ways
Adnan
was looking online for a
study English course. He wanted a
short
course that would be interesting. But every course was long
and difficult.
He had to start at the beginning for each course. Sometimes
he was repeating things he already knew!
He found lots of podcasts, but he couldn't understand them.
He
found lots of written stories but he couldn't listen to them.
Adnan was getting frustrated because he thought the internet
would have a great study English course.
That was a few years ago. Now, English Listening World can help with
this problem. All the stories are short, written by a native
speaker, and you can
listen
to them. You can start this course anywhere (there is no
fixed
order for the lessons), and listen to the stories in any order you
like.
A few points
to remember when you study':
- It is great practice to go online for English
listening,
and
- if you can read
to it, that is even better, and
- if you can read it while you listen to it,you
can practice
pronunciation , and
- if you can memorize (practice many times) it
and say it aloud
while you listen to it
you can make the English yours!
