It is always great when you have an opportunity to communicate with native speakers to learn English. Nowadays there are lots of ways how you can communicate and learn English online, I have written about it in one of my posts before. But today I want to tell you a bit about my friends; experience. Ilya and Alena live in Moscow and they are very busy during the day and in the evening the have no time for learning as the have to devote some time to their children but they understand that it necessary to know English nowadays that’s why they have found the way out and I think that this a very interesting solution. They decided that they would talk in English when they are at home, they talk with each other in English when they have dinner, when they play with their children etc. But you can ask me: “What about grammar and new words?” And your question will be absolutely reasonable. The have hired a maid (who has worded as teacher before) who is American and she helps them with new words and grammar rules.
Of course, it is rather expensive but it a very effective way of learning English if you have money.
It’s not a secret that a financial crisis is running all over the world, banks are bankrupted, specialists have to their jobs, people try to spend less money etc. But I am absolutely sure that it’s the best time to start improving or learning English if you have not started it already. You can ask me: “Why should I spend my time on this? I need to earn more money and nothing else.” And you are right in some way but here I will try to persuade you that there is some reason in my point of view:
When the crisis comes lots of people loose their jobs and have to spend some time (the period of unemployment depends on lots of reasons and I am not going to concentrate on them in this article) and it is the right time to spend on your education.
You need more information to make the right decision. And more information you can find in English. Just read news and analytical articles in English to be sure when it’s the right time to act.

I this test I tried to give you a clear idea of the verb to be usage in Present Simple. I like eslvideo tests as you can watch an English learning video and then make this English grammar test.
Very often pronunciation is one of the main problems while learning English a foreign language and it is not surprising as you can learn grammar using different grammar books or you can find lots of information in Internet. As for vocabulary, you can learn words while reading books. But if you have no chance to communicate with native speakers or have lessons with a private tutor – it’s absolutely impossible to learn correct pronunciation. But now it is very easy to practice your pronunciation with video lessons where a native speaker shows you how to speak correctly. An today watch this free video lesson and learn more about the word “pause”.

Many clever students need loads of easy English input, not hard science and math. Plenty of research internationally shows that hard content subjects taught in English are NOT the best avenue for most pupils, and can even be counter-productive – best to learn these in your first home language. That ensures best cognitive development.
Too many learners here are being pushed too quickly up the “Everest” of complex academic English without really mastering the most common 1,500 words and the basic structures of English “plain talk”. Malaysians learning English, especially outside the largest urban areas, need to have loads more easy “comprehensible input” – mainly through lots and lots of voluntary lighter reading and extensive listening for fun, largely outside the classroom. This can also improve writing and speaking. There’s a lot of research to support this (see www.ijflt.com ).
“Easy” means you already know about 98% of all the words you’re reading or listening to.
