Here you have the opportunity to learn, practise and improve your English in a different way.
This is a place where you will find useful links for improving your English: grammar exercises, vocabulary tasks, videos, songs ...
You will also be able to participate and give opinions.


For now find out some entertaining facts about THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE:




The words "racecar", "kayak" and "level" are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes).


"Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "mt".


 The most common vowel  in English is "e" and the most common consonant is "r" followed by "t". The letter "q" is the least used.


"Invisibility" is the only word in the English language which has one vowel, but this vowel occurs five times.


I hope you enjoy and get the most of this blog!
