Hope this helps everyone out a bit! Happy studying^^
Stick with one useful resource to study grammar and my favorite one is the Oxford Learner’s Grammar
Use Italki feature called “Notebook” and write entries about anything you want (see Pinterest for some inspo) and you’ll receive corrections by native speakers, super useful to improve your writing skills
Tandem and Hello Talk are perfect to practice your speaking, English native speakers are EVERYWHERE! Don’t be afraid and use only voice messages
To improve your pronunciation I highly recommend to check out some basic linguistic knowledge because it makes easier, this helped me a lot and I highly recommend to check @maripolyglot YouTube video about it
WORK ON YOUR VOCABULARY! Type “English vocabulary or vocab list” in the search field. You’ll thank me later~
Translate, translate, translate. With translation you adapt grammar concepts into your own native language, this actually helps making connection and boost your confidence
compiling some resources for all those students who have to keep up on their own <3 this was originally meant for GCSE / A2 language level but is helpful for all i think
🌷 I made this for myself and will be updating it from time to time, feel free to reblog 🍀 big thanks to: @lovelybluepanda, @wonderful-language-sounds 🍀my langstagram 🌷 my posts
If you feel like you’ve seen this alread, that’s normal. This list of recommendation has been previously posted on my first account @praestantias which has been deleted for some reasons. So here I am, reposting it.
Hating how elitist and eurocentric the dark academia community became, I would truly appreciate that you leave some recommendation of book written by people of color, for I noticed that I am guilty of the eurocentric part, but I am really want to educate myself and read more non-white books.
Thank you for your suggestions!
