English on the go

Now we have a little bit more time to practice your English in a fun way  on your mobile devices, so I selected a few games, apps or websites where you can compete against yourself or other learners all over the world.

First to come is an app called Quiz your English, an excellent way of practicing your grammar and vocabulary skills, it’s fun and not that easy.  A lot of it is is free and I think it’s an excellent way to prepare exams.

Then, another app and website called Memrise, it focuses on vocabulary and enables you to learn, discover and make lists.

Battaking, is another app to help you learn new words by matching them to images. This one is simpler, but simple is not bad and there are words you may not know.

Games to learn English offers a variety of games.

The British Council offers courses, exercises and games  to improve your language skills.

Have fun and enjoy your holidays.

However, there are a few things you can do  to refresh your grammar, methods and your vocabulary besides practicing on mock exams, and you will find plenty HERE.

Here is a selection of exercises, websites and tips which you may find helpful.

First some words to help you understand the instructions, and do what you are expected to do!

128 words to use instead of VERY
