Resources
Below are websites that provide FREE tools to help build your English skills outside of the classroom. These can be used to practice on your own time or create an initial discussion point for our lessons!
Grammar and Writing
Lingolia
Lingolia provides an overview of English verb tenses and free grammar exercises. If you take a Grammar + Conversation class with me, you get access to their additional exercises.
Grammarly
This is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) writing tool that provides writing prompts and feedback. There is a free version, but you can also upgrade to a paid version to increase the type of feedback you receive.
Memorization
Duocards
Download this this application on your phone, search for sets of flashcards based on your areas of interest and then quickly build your English vocabulary on your own time. In classes, we can use new vocabulary in situations that apply to your life. If you want to create your own decks, you need to create a paid account. Is there a theme or topic you want to work on? Let me know and we can create it together!
