7 Language Learning Strategies
Learning a new language or improving the one you already speak is a different experience for everyone. Some people find learning a new language a piece of cake while others really struggle to grasp the basics. Studies have shown that women are prone to acquire a new language faster and easier. However, in my opinion (and personal experience) if you are willing and motivated to learn something you will, no matter if you are male or female. In this article, I will reveal some very useful language learning tactics that will help you get on the right path of this process.
British English terms & phrases you will hear when studying English in the UK
Have you ever watched a British tv show or movie but had difficulty catching some of the vocabulary or phrases even though the main characters were speaking English? Strange, right? This situation is especially familiar to those who learned English as a second language and that are not so familiar with ‘British English’ terminology.
6 Reasons to Study English in the UK
When studying another language, it is very important to study it in its native country, in order to have a complete immersion experience. Studying, for example, the English language in your home country may not be as efficient or practical as studying English in the UK.
