Useful learing links

ELLLO everyone,

You know, there are loads of links on our blog but ELLLO attracted me most of all.

www.elllo.org is well – organized and there are more than 1000 listening activities with transcripts, quizzes, and games. But the two ones I was impressed the most are Songs and Mixer. Songs reminds me of a kind of karaoke. While you are listening to one of the songs you can read the lyrics displayed on the screen. Mixer seems to be a useful way to prepare for the speaking exam because there are always one question and six answers which you can listen to, read or download.

There are some other useful links I found by chance like Phrasen.com or Bab.la. If it’s difficult to find the correct translation of an idiom or phrasal verb, you can look up there and you’ll propably find it. Even if you spell wrong or only write two words of an idiom Babla will help you with some suggestions. Sometimes Dict.cc can be useful to look up a phrasal verb or a short idiom.

So have a nice time. See you next Tuesday,

Adalbert
