You always want to know a lot and be able to. Very often I hear from friends and acquaintances that they would like to improve my English. Yes, I myself often wonder about it. And, of course, it is desirable that the learning process was not too time-consuming and money. The output in this case - independent learning through programs and services that have recently appeared quite a lot. But here is the problem - not all have the willpower to do, lessons seem to be boring.
Today I came across an application for iPhone / iPad, which offers classes in a very simple, entertaining way - language courses "English by De Agostini». Itself is a free application, but for each lesson, except for a few, you need to pay a certain amount. I tested until a free lesson from level A1 and was satisfied.
Each lesson is dedicated to a single topic. The main lesson - this is a video (sitcom episode) on some topic. The first is devoted to dating and aims to study common phrases at the first meeting (greetings, how did you come, where you live, how old you are).
In the video there are several control points, where it is desirable to stop to further explore any particular section, for example - the numerals, to make of it an exercise. Since the material is better absorbed. However, you can walk to these points after watching the video.
If you believe that the first lesson is too easy for you, then go through the initial testing. After performing several tasks, the app will tell you what kind of lesson and from what level is best suited for you. Do not buy on your luck, choose only what you really need. Levels in the annex: Elementary, High Elementary, Low Intermediate, Intermediate.
The following sections can be seen on the main page of the application:
1. Grammar
Very logically - in this section you can read the rules. Open only to the rules of purchased lessons.
2. Actions
Here are all the exercises. Also, respectively, only to purchased lessons.
3. Picture Dictionary
In this section you can find the "real" supplement the lessons. For example, a lesson about the breakfast menu is attached, of course, in English. This section is intended for a total immersion in the studied subject.
4. Vocabulary
The dictionary contains more than 70,000 words, just use the search feature to find your desired.
Application leaves a pleasant impression. It seems that to learn English so completely easy, but on the contrary, a lot of fun. What can be difficult to see in the evening a fun movie, and then make a couple of exercises. A benefit of this will be visible very soon. This version of language learning is particularly suitable for those who want to pull the spoken language.
