1. Test Your
English – vocabulary test
First of all
you want to know where you stand. Take this vocabulary test and find out your
score and a description of your level in comparison with native speakers and
speakers around the world.
TIP: Write
down your score and do the test again in 6 months and in 1 year. If you are
working on your English, there is no way that number wouldn’t increase. The
more you surround yourself with natural English, the higher the number will be.
All you need is – focus!
2. Bab.la –
largest online dictionary and more
My absolute
favourite these days. And guess what? It’s built by its users! From 27
countries. All words are shown in context in many example sentences which are
also translated! You don’t see that anywhere else online. Pronunciation
included. This is an incredibly promising website as apart from the dictionary
they have other tools which are superbly handled.
TIP: Check out
their Phrases section, Vocab learning section (with flashcards) or Quiz
section. Can’t wait for their mobile version!
3. Fraze.it – words
in context
You need to
learn words in context. Not from a notebook with lists full of unrelated words
but on flashcards/post-it notes with example sentences. But where do you find
such example sentences? You can go to a dictionary OR you can use Fraze.it! The
web application lists hundreds of sentences from NewYork Times, The Economist,
CNN and other news sources to show how words and phrases are used in real
language.
TIP: Use the
filter on the right to choose whether your word appears at the beginning or the
end of the sentence (Rule) or in which tense (Tense) and context it’s used
(Context). And you can scroll down to find the word’s synonyms. Everything in
one place!
4. Ozdic –
collocations dictionary
About 5 years
ago one of my best Christmas presents was a collocations dictionary (I know,
I’m crazy, right?). A collocation is a fixed expression of two or more words
that go together, like “fast food” or “go to bed”. A collocations dictionary is
thus very useful if you want to know which words go together, e.g. with the
word “choice”. When I found it exists online it was like second Christmas for
me.
TIP: This is
particularly useful for bloggers and those who need to write more complicated
texts in English, such as essays, business proposals or presentations. So most
of us!
For gamers
5. English
Central – record yourself
The only paid
website on the list. And rightly so. It’s simply brilliant. Watch short clips
from movies, talk shows, news, commercials etc. with subtitles and then record
yourself pronouncing sentence by sentence, receiving feedback afterwards via a
voice-recognition system. It’s like Youtube, only much better! You score points
for each word pronounced correctly so you can compete with others as in video
games. I cannot recommend this website enough!
TIP: You can
register through my link to see what my other students are working on and to
compete with them.
6. Duolingo –
free online language lessons
Gamification
of language learning at its purest and possibly best in the free waters of
today´s world wide web. This website is gaining more and more attention as
highly positive feedback from users around the world flows in. Very friendly
interface with an owl mascot called “Duo” and a language learning system full
of points, rewards, badges and praise. You learn through various types of
exercises in units ranging from basic to advanced levels in 20 different
languages, including Czech! And I really like the fact it´s all spoken
language, nothing too formal/academic.
TIP: Don’t give
up. Many students are reporting to me that their English improves if they stick
to it for at least a month! I suggest you subscribe to the mailing list so that
Duolingo sends you email reminders motivating you to keep learning.
7. Lyrics
Training – recognize words in songs
If you like
music and have been learning a lot of English from songs, like me, you’ll love
this website. You find a song and your level and you play the song. You must
fill in the missing words, depending on your chosen level, where 10%, 25%, 50%
or 100% of the words are missing. It’s perfect for your listening skills as
they don’t let you listen further until you guess the word correctly (you do
have an option to click the “Give up” button though).
TIP: Work with
at least 5 songs per week and watch your English improve. Drastically! I
promise!
For
Facebookers
8. Humans of
New York – real people, real stories
Sad, happy,
heart-breaking, inspiring, everything that life brings to ordinary New Yorkers…
Short stories with portraits of those in the stories. Or one of the most
popular Facebook pages out there, with 13 million followers. Follow it, it’s
the best reading practice for you.
TIP: When you
don’t want to miss a post from a Facebook page, do it like this.
9. Learn
English – idioms, phrases, vocab 1x denně
Possibly the
best FB page for learning English. 3 million fans, thousands of likes and
shares speak for themselves. Simple examples of spoken English. There´s nothing
to add, just follow and work on it, baby.
TIP: This is
exactly the type of FB posts that you can follw on your mobile phone (if you´re
into mobile FB). Bite-sized pieces of language a few minutes a day, go for it!
10. Lucie
Podhorná English – great FB page about spoken English (CZ only)
Lucka is a
very smart young lady living in my hometown of Brno, teaching English and
Swedish to locals. I had the honour of meeting her a couple of times and teach
with her once and completely fell in love with her. Same as her page which is
incredibly funny, highly informative and best of all – deals with everyday
English phrases and grammar points that we all make mistakes in. Perfect for
advanced levels, you will never get bored.
TIP: The page
is in Czech but I am sure if you write to Lucka, she will work on that ;). She
is very excited so many people are interested in her work.
For Youtubers
11. Mr Duncan
– funniest teacher online
If I had to
name just one Youtube channel where to learn English, this is the guy I’d pick.
No wonder he has over 50 million views, he has kept his videos fun, highly
educative and professional for many years. He cracks me every time with his dry
British humour and I dare say he has no competition. I wish there had been
someone like Mr Duncan when I was learning English as a kid.
TIP: Like his
page on Facebook and as you are doing this choose to “Get Notifications”.This
way you will be reminded regularly to follow a lesson. There are 88 lessons and
more coming.
12. Easy
English – video interviews in the street
A small
section at a much bigger “Easy Languages” Youtube channel which promotes
learning languages without coursebooks, socially, from people in the streets.
At the moment there are 16 videos 3 – 5 min long, all subtitled and all very
enjoyable to watch. Real people with different accents answering questions like
“What do you like about your city”, “How is the nightlife here?”, “What are the
people in your city like?”. Watch the one from London. Most of them are from
England and there is one from NYC. A very promising project!
TIP: If you
like learning this way, watching ordinary people in the streets speak about
different things, go to these two links: Real English (American interviews) and
Luke’s Podcast (London interviews).
For
conversationalists
13. Conversation
Exchange 14. Babel Village 15. Speaky 16. How do you do
If you are
outgoing and enjoy speaking to people, the best way for you is to go out and
meet people. How do you do it online? Some people play online games and learn
by communicating with other players (and many report it’s a great way to learn
English), some people join communities around some passion, some like
discussions about children or dogs. If you don’t have anything specific to talk
about but would like a conversation partner you can try language exchange
websites. They are for free, you just build a profile and choose your convo
partner. I highly recommend to speak only to native and fluent English speakers
in order to hear correct language and learn authentic spoken English.
TIP: More
about starting with language exchange websites here. You can also use EOT
materials if you want a bit more structure to your conversations and would like
a proper learning experience. Check out how you can use them to your benefit.
For readers
and listeners
17. Voice of
America News – American podcasts
Very popular
resource for learners of English, you can find so much here. Listen to “radio”
or watch short tv news programmes, depending on your favourite topic. The
stories are divided into three levels so it´s best for learning new words (in
bold) and the texts are all recorded in very comfortable speed for English
learners. The videos are all subtitled.
TIP: I love
listening to VOA programmes, it’s like
listening to real American radio (my favourite is “Jazz America” because I like
jazz), you can find them here.
18. British
Council – British podcasts
British
Council represents the highest quality when it comes to language teaching. If
you find a better resource for podcasts, please, let me know. This website
offers many podcasts from categories such as “Elementary podcasts”, “UK
Culture” or “How to videos”. It has it all:
before/while reading activities, transcript and a lot of vocabulary and
listening exercises that you can do on your computer while you listen or watch,
or print out and do when you want.
TIP: There is
much more on the British Council site to discover, including Business English,
Grammar, IELTS exams, Games, so enjoy! It’s top notch, as the Brits would say.
For
disciplined students
19. Coursera
and 20. Future Learn
They say not
many students finish open university online courses which are for free. So this
is for those who are highly-motivated to learn more about a specific topic, are
disciplined and dedicated and are serious with their study time. Go and
explore! This to me is the most fascinating thing happening in education and I
myself am a big fan of MOOC – massive open online courses.
TIP: Go to the
culture learning sections, for example this one on British language and
culture.
For travellers
21.
Couchsurfing – free stay with locals
If you don’t
know Couchsurfing, this paragraph is for you. And you don’t necessarily need a
passion for travelling (who doesn’t though?!), all you need is an open heart
and willingness to make new friends from abroad. Through this website, where
you need to register (for free) and make a profile, you can find people
anywhere around the world who will host you for free. It’s a social website,
like a travel version of Facebook. It’s best to watch this video to understand
the concept. And ideally(but not necessarily) you also host people at your
place. You can meet the world in your living room. And speak English as much as
you can!
TIP: It’s absolutely safe as it works through a
reference system, bad guys get spotted quickly (they get negative feedback
immediately). So to start off when creating your profile try to get as much
positive feedback about yourself as possible.
22.
Nightswapping – you host you travel
This is a
completely new service and the minute I found out about it I fell in love with
it. It’s something between Couchsurfing and Airbnb. You don’t have to pay for
your accommodation when you stay with people but you also have to host people.
For each night you host, you get a night to spend anywhere in the world. And
staying with locals, let’s be honest, is the absolute best way to learn
English. For me anyways!
TIP: To get
ideas where to go and what to see you can visit the “Go, See, Write” blog for
very interesting articles in simple English. The blog is run by a lawyer turned
traveller and what a gem!
For Czechs
23. Help For
English – best Czech website I occassionally meet someone who has never heard
of this website. If you are one of those people, just go and see for yourself.
It’s really the best out there in the Czech lands.
24. Anglická
slovíčka – free and paid version This website focuses on learning and
practising vocabulary. And they have a really good blog in Czech about

all downloadable from the BBC website. A true gem, do check it out.
