hello everyone and welcome to today's
video if you feel like you've been stuck
in a rut lately
or aren't making enough progress toward
your english language goals
it might be because you're just tired of
the resources and tools that you're
using
or maybe you aren't using the right ones
cedric made a video not too long ago
about how to choose the right learning
resources and today i want to give you
one more big boost in the right
direction on that same topic a list of
some of our favorite resources here at
mosalingua for english language learners
[Laughter]
speaking of great language resources
have you subscribed to our channel
double check that you have and that
you've turned on your notifications
because we post new videos every week
with great language hacks and tips that
you won't want to miss
now you'll need to select different
resources based on the different
skills you want to target with your
practice i'll go through each skill
separately
and give you a few english resources
that we particularly like
at the end of the video scroll down for
links that will take you straight to the
resources that
interest you most let's start with
listening now that we have the entire
internet at our fingertips
there are so many helpful resources for
listening comprehension that it can be
hard to know where to begin
here are my recommendations first up
podcasts in english
one i really like is six minute english
which is produced by the bbc
their bite-sized episodes are about
interesting topics in current events
and everyday situations in anglophone
culture if you like to get your news
from podcasts i recommend
voice of america and for those of you
who want to learn english for your
career
business english pod is a great choice
for more suggestions
check out our guide to podcasts for
english learners which has
recommendations for podcasts for
beginners
intermediate and advanced learners did
you know that mosalingua recently
launched our own
original audio series specifically
designed for people who are learning
english
it's called the man with no name and
it's the story of a man who wakes up in
a hospital
with no memory of how he got there or
even his own name
we guide you step by step through each
episode so that you can not only follow
along with the intriguing story but also
ultimately
improve your comprehension and other
skills and finally one of my personal
favorites
ted talks these are short lectures given
on
all kinds of interesting topics by
well-spoken individuals
the nice thing about these videos is
that you're sure to find
one on a subject that interests you and
they almost always have subtitles
next up are some resources for reading
and writing which go hand in hand the
newspaper map is a cool place to start
if you're interested in keeping up with
current events in english-speaking
countries
select english from the language menu
and then pick any town you like to start
exploring its local news site it can be
fun to read about what's going on in
little towns in australia or the u.s but
if you'd rather have a broader range of
articles to choose from
i especially recommend the bbc the new
york times and the guardian
i want to give a special shout out to
the bbc a british news outlet that has a
website dedicated to
people who are learning english it's a
real wealth of resources in itself
the mosalingua english grammar guide
won't weigh you down with
boring textbook-like lessons it explains
the most
important english grammar concepts and
lots of the lessons
include videos from our teachers it's
available to read
in spanish french italian german and
portuguese
in addition to translation tools like
deep l and google translate
and bilingual dictionaries like word
reference the cambridge english
dictionary online is
definitely one that you want to bookmark
in your browser it provides super clear
definitions
plus synonyms and examples of how to use
each word in a typical sentence and last
but not least
resources to practice your english
speaking skills lots of people dread
this type of practice
but with these resources it might just
end up being your favorite
italki is one of the best resources out
there for finding conversation partners
to practice your skills with via audio
or video chat because let's face it
talking to yourself
in the mirror is fine but you won't make
nearly as much
progress as you will with a real native
speaker on the other end if you're
really serious about taking your
english fluency to the next level i
highly recommend the speak english with
confidence master class by mosalingua
throughout the program you'll be guided
by our teachers
as you work on things such as your
accent your pronunciation
conversation skills and of course your
confidence
forvo is a crowd-sourced pronunciation
dictionary
and it's great if you're in a pinch and
you can't reach out to your language
partner
or if your mosalingua app doesn't have
this particular word that you're looking
for
it's also nice because there are usually
multiple recordings for each word which
means you'll get exposure to lots of
different accents
and finally not to toot our own horn too
much but we really do
think that the mosalingua english apps
and mosalingua web are pretty great
comprehensive resources for learning
english vocabulary and our 8 million
users worldwide would back us
up on that using our apps and web tool
is not only an
amazingly efficient way to study the
most important
english vocabulary words and phrases for
everyday situations
but it's also a nice way to add some
diversity to your learning since they
feature
mini grammar lessons dialogues recorded
by native speakers
fun facts about language and culture and
more so there you have it
a list of a few great english language
resources
