Welcome to my English Stuff Blog

Well, this question was very hard to answer many years ago. People used to say we needed a certain period of time to learn English. False! It´s been almost ten years since I started to study English and I can tell I still have so much to learn. Our life is our best school.

I have to confess I had to teach English to really be into it. I had a lot of fun. Every class made investigate and improve my pronunciation and teaching skills. This was one of the best ways to keep my goal of learning English.

Television

Do you have cable TV at home? You are lucky! . Let me tell you, if you do not take advantage of this tool, it would be a shame. This helped so much. The news, in English! , Entertainment, in English! Music, in English! Everything must in English. CNN, ABC, MTV, CBS, BBC and so many others helped to improve my listening.

By the way, do you know what CC means on TV?
This system is a powerful tool to practice your reading and listening. I still use it. can you believe it?

A question, how will I speak a language I cannot understand very clear? The best way to understand the spoken words is by listening. We must learn HOW to listen. It is not a matter of hearing. I can hear people talking, but I wouldn´t have a clue of what they are talking about. You know this point.

Music

Music helps me a lot. When I listen to a British singer, wow!!! or someone from Australia. It is a challenge! I don’t feel disappointed when I do not understand their accent very well. It is the opposite. I have to face new things. Of course, I am not saying we have to listen every noise. I mean some crazy music in the modern life.

Internet

I am subscribed to several newspapers, blogs and forums. These are good tools to practice our reading and reading comprehension as well. What if we find an unknown word or slang? Are we going to write it down and put it on a list? That is OK. I use an offline monolingual dictionary. Just click on it and that`s it.
