New Year and Christmas is coming, in a few weeks we’ll be celebrating Catholic Christmas so it’s the right time to buy Christmas presents. But as you remember my blog is created to help you to learn English with me and I think that today we will talk how Christmas presents can help you to learn English.

What is the best present for students who learn English as a foreign language? Right you are, it’s a book in English or a CD with educational materials. But if you live in a country where English is not the official language. It turns very difficult to buy books in the original or it’s not an easy thing to find a book you want. But I am absolutely sure that reading books in the original is one of the best ways to master your language. I also love reading English books and buy then in one place, it’s Amazone.com. Amazone is a word biggest international shop and it’s the best way to find any book in English and order it to any country of the world. I advise you to buy at least 3 books at once as it will help you to save money on shipping.

Do not forget about you friends and relatives, perhaps you will manage to find something interesting for them. As for me I always buy technical magazines for my father and it’s a good New Year present for him (here in Russia we love New Year more than Christmas). Buying books in Foreign Internet shops will also help you to practice your English skills and improve your language as it’s always useful to do something by your own.

Another way to learn English during Christmas holidays is to write and send greetings to your foreign friends. Write different greetings to everyone it will help you to practice your written English and add new words to your vocabulary. If you can call them to congratulate, do it for sure – use your Skype or ip-telephony to make these calls cheaper.

Do not forget to send a reply to every greeting you receive from your friends and partners. Do your best to celebrate Christmas and New Year and learn English every day!
