Elsewhere On the Internet!
There has been a lot of good stuff for English learners added to the Internet recently. Before I tell you about some blog posts that I have really impressed me, though, I’d like to point out another website that looks pretty impressive. It’s called The Island Weekly and it’s run by a woman named Anne, who also includes a lot of listening in her blog. It’s a great place to get even more listening practice!
There have, of course, been other great additions to the Internet. Some of it comes from How-To-Learn-English which I’ve linked to often, because. . . there’s often good stuff there! From How-To-Learn-English:
-
Laughing All the Way to the Bank. Some really good bank idioms.

And I have two links for you from other English blogs. Check out these tips for English learners:
-
