When you learn English abroad and have no chance to take classes with native speakers or communicate with then in everyday life it is very difficult to learn new English words which are used nowadays. That’s why sometimes our English is more like Hindi as we use old words and expressions which are nit used by native speakers or have another connotation at present. As for me I found a great way out. You know that Google is the biggest search engine in the world and this company has other services which can be useful for those who learn English. So let’s start:
• Talk (Windows 2000/Windows XP/Server 2003/Vista)
Chat with native speakers (the same as ICQ)
• Reader
Read different blogs for English students
• FeedBurner
Find feeds to add them to your Reader.
• Gmail (Also known as Google Mail)
Write emails to your panfriends to master your language.
• YouTube
Watch different videos to learn spoken language
• Book Search (Previously Google Print)
Find educational books to learn English
• Language Tools
Collection of linguistic applications, including one that allows users to translate text or web pages from one language to another, and another that allows searching in web pages located in a specific country or written in a specific language.
• News

It’s not an easy thing to learn English and you need much time to practice your speech and learn grammar. But one of effective ways to learn English is to learn English rhymes which can make your speech fluent. Some of my friends say that this way of learning English takes too much time and the effect if not so evident BUT I am sure that it is not true – try it yourself and you will see that learning English can be a pleasure.

Will you get up, will you get up?

Solomon Grundy,
Born on Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday:

Jack and Jills
Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down
And broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.
Up Jack got
And home did trot
As fast as he could caper
Went to bed
And plastered his head
With vinegar and brown paper.
Mutability
The flower that smiles today
Tomorrow dies;
All that we wish to stay
Tempts and then flies.
What is this world’s delight?
Lightning that mocks the night,
Brief even as bright.
Virtue, how frail it is!
Friendship how rare!
Love, how it sells poor bliss
For proud despair! Continue Reading →
