[one_second]At Spoken English Practice, we strongly encourage all our students to use the many free English learning resources available on the internet, while practicing speaking with our native English speakers (Conversation Partners). Learning English requires maximum immersion, so whatever language learners can do to increase the time they spend interacting with the English language is only going to produce better results. Today, we wanted to share some English language learning websites that we recommend to our students (and our readers). Let us know what your favorites are please feel free to add to this list if we have missed any.

English With a Twist

 

English With a Twist is one of our all time favorites. Operated by Shanthi, a freelance English teacher based out of the UK, English With a Twist shares a wide variety of free English learning resources ranging from infographics, to grammar tips, from word/idiom lists to insights from being a ESL teacher. On top of all this cool, free stuff, the site is a reflection of Shanthi’s colorful personality whether it’s going on ice cream dates with her step mom or whether it is a funny post on adapting Shakespearean to a modern business context.

 

English Leap

 

A very popular English learning website among South Asian English learners, English Leap allows you to post questions and get help from a community of close to 10,000 English language learners. Also, unlike most other English language communities/forums on the Internet, English Leap seems to have a pretty good moderation process that allows genuine users get the most out of the community. One downside is the consistent, irritating ads and pop up on the side of your screen!

 

Merriam Webster

 

If you are hungry to learn new English words, Merriam Webster is a must have bookmark. You can find the meaning of words, along with examples of usage free of charge, within a few clicks. Also, you can also dig in to synonyms and antonyms for a given word and further broaden your vernacular.
