The Best Online Resources for Learning English

Are you trying to learn English but are having trouble getting started? A great way to learn English is to take an English course in the United States, but unfortunately, right now, it may be hard to enroll in an English course overseas. Luckily, there are many great alternatives to help you learn English from the comfort of your own home!

A major resource you can use to learn English is the internet. There are so many great sites to help you learn new vocabulary and grammar rules. If you want to practice your English with others, there are countless groups on social media for English learners. You can just search through different groups until you find one that is right for you. It is a great way to learn while making friends with other people who are going through the same experience as you.

Besides social media, here are our top three websites we recommend for English learners.

One great website to use for grammar is Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL). This site has helpful material for English learners. It has an entire section full of ESL exercises including grammar, spelling, sentence structure, summarizing, and more! We recommend this site because they give clear explanations, examples of correct and incorrect answers, and fun exercises to try.

For practice with listening and speaking, we recommend watching TED Talks. On this website, you will find countless videos of various topics. We suggest picking a video on a topic that you find interesting. After the video ends, there are reading comprehension questions that you can answer to check your understanding of the video. If you are having trouble comprehending the lecture, you can use subtitles or transcripts to help you follow along.

Another site with a lot of resources is BBC Learning English. This site has a lot of different materials to help you learn English. There are grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and quizzes that can help you learn in a fun and interactive way. The videos also have transcripts to help you if you are having trouble understanding the videos.

While learning online is useful and convenient for practice and grammar, it is best to learn through taking an English course. This way, you can practice your speaking more, and you will have a teacher to correct your errors.
