Hey guys! :)
I just came across this really awesome website called http://www.engvid.com/. You probably haven't heard about it before so I am going to tell you what it is all about.
Basically, it is a website aimed to help everybody who wants to learn English, especially in preparation for the TOEFL or the TOEIC. Several professors videotape their lessons where they explain various chapters of grammar, subject areas of all kinds or simply give you some advice concerning oral presentations, job interviews etc. All in all, they cover grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and much more.
What I like most about the website is the fact that the video lessons are divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced. So, you can choose whichever level you think is adequate for improving your language skills. What's more, depending from the professor (for example James), the lessons can be quite entertaining. But hey, go see for yourself if you want to find out more about it :)
I actually wanted to show you this video I found where Ronnie teaches the differences between American and British food vocabulary. In my opinion she explains the differences very well and you probably won't forget the new words you are going to learn too quickly.
I also found two other videos that are very well done and offer some useful information.
In this (entertaining) video you are going to learn the meaning of the following expressions:
- to stew in your own juices
- sandwiched
- to sugar-coat something
- sugar daddy
- gravy train
In this video you are going to learn the meaning of the following expressions:
- couch potato
- out to lunch
- piece of cake
- bottoms up
- sweet tooth
I hope you enjoyed the videos! Have a nice day!! :)
