Rachel’s English Playlists – Pronunciation

One of the best ways to learn English is through YouTube. Where English learners struggle is with determining what videos to watch. With Rachel’s English you can use her playlists.

Treat her playlists as if you are watching a television series. Find a teacher that can help determine what areas you need help in. Then, they can help you by pointing to what playlists you need to focus on.

They also work on pronunciation as well but you find most of the teachers have a focus on students trying to learn English grammar. Click here to see all of their channels.

Memrise – Vocabulary

There are various apps available students can use to learn new vocabulary words. One of the best ones is a tool called Memrise. You can use it on your computer or on your phone. The reason I like it is that you can associate words with a picture. if you are learning new vocabulary it is hard to memorize just the words by themselves. It is much easier if you have a picture or meme that you can associate with it. It is best to get started with this list of phrasal verbs.

Grammarly – Writing

For anyone studying English one of the best tools is Grammarly. For those of you that have used it before with only the free version you really are missing out. The real power of Grammarly is the paid-for version.

Ed.Ted – Listening Skills

Many students enjoy listening to podcasts or watching some of their favorite programs in English. I highly recommend that you stop doing this. When you do this there is no goal in mind. Meaning, you are just passively listening and trying to understand what is being said.

It is better if you have a tool that gives you a quiz after you watch a program or listen to somebody talking. Check out the lessons at Ed.Ted.
