Useful Tips for Students (10 links)

 Have been trying to learn English the same way for the last year? Three years? Seven years or more? Try something new! Change is good for you. It will help you grow. 
Learning English doesn’t always

 have to mean sitting in the classroom and studying tricky grammar. 

There are a number of ways to improve your understanding of the language, many of which can actually be a lot of fun.

• Perfect English Grammar | Lots of free explanations and exercises to help you perfect your English grammar.
• English Daily: TOEFL vocabulary practice, grammar lessons and exercises, transcripts from movies, ear training, and sections on slang, idioms, and proverbs.
• Voice of America Learning English: Satellite TV, radio and website for people around the world to improve their listening, pronunciation and understanding of American life and world news. The short sentences, limited vocabulary and slow pace of speaking make it easy to understand. Internet and TV users can also listen to programs on the Special English Web site while reading the text.

Also, don't forget YouTube. Whatever you'd like to learn — an explanation of a grammar term, idioms, a set of vocabulary — enter it in the search field and an array of videos are sure to come up.

I hope some of these sites prove useful. Enjoy!
