- Not long ago I found some interesting material (I will write about it next time) how to learn English reading original articles in English. And it’s really great as it can help you to improve your English and learn the latest news online. Google News http://news.google.com will help you. Just search for the news in any sphere you like and read them.
- If you have any difficulties with translation or you don’t know the meaning of the words, it is very comfortable to use Google Online Translation Service http://translate.google.com/. It’s very easy to use, just choose your language, enter a word you want to be translated and get a result in less then a second. You can get a translation of a paragraph or a webpage but the quality of this translation will be rather poor, still it can help you to understand the meaning of the text.
- If you want to communicate in English on various topics you like, you are to use Google Groups http://groups.google.com/ where you can find lots of different sections and topics. Choose any group you like, join it and communicate. It’s a great way to improve your English written skills and it’s very user-friendly as you can get notifications about new messages to your email box. I also plan to open a new Google Group for this site to help you to learn English more effectively.
- The other tool I recommend you to use is called as Google Language Tools http://www.google.com/language_tools. Here you can enter any keywords in your native language and get correct search results in English. It’s very convenient if you have just started to learn English and your vocabulary is poor.
- The last Google Tool I want to tell you about is Google Scholar http://scholar.google.com/. You can search for articles, books and educational materials using it.
If you know any other Google products, write about them in comments to this article and I will add them to this list.
Great post! I teach English in the Washington, DC, area and have found Google Language Tools to be a great tool.

Posted by shahbazi | June 30, 2010, 8:05 amYou’ve got there some interesting ideas.
The google translator is especially useful, in my opinion.
True, sometimes it has quite funny translations – especially if you translate whole blocks of text, but I have found it has more value as a single word translator.
Posted by Ola | September 29, 2010, 12:01 amThanks Google for being indeed when I am in need! In Hindi one nice song is there on friendship and all I want to do for you is to dedicate that song for you i. e. “Tere jaisa yaar kahan kahan aisa yaarana yaad karegi duniya aisa apna yaarana”. If you really good in Hindi you might have got its meaning……!
Once again thanks a lot. . . . .!
