This is easiest way to learn English and I don’t believe I had learnt English very soon. The researchpaperservicereviews superior papers review is the best way to learn English within few weeks and I would like to prefer this to all who wish to learn good English.

 @Seiyf  ,   Ted.Com indeed it`s  a great tool . I agree with you that  written translations are  of great help  in the beginning , now i prefer  not to read subtitles,   and if it is necessary for clarification I replay the audio two or three times .It happens on doing so that  i catch up on words that i missed out the first time.

Dear Mahtab,  thanks for pointing out  .i can explain. In the past I was being contacted by some people that obviously were con artist . I don`t know why i did this ,but the fact is that I cancelled my account  to see if they stop bothering me. Just recently I asked management that i want to reset   my account , they replied that  it is not possible. They advice that i should open a new one. I have been trying to open it ,so far unsuccessfully, maybe  with the help of a savvy friend i will be able to do it. Anyway , i consider you and others  very good friends .

Sorry for interrupting!


Dear Julito


Can you tell me why I can’t see your profile?!!!


I wanted to add you but when I want to see your profile it says:


Page not found

The member you are looking for either doesn’t exist, or has canceled their account.


It is really strange to me!!!


Please tell me what is the secret! ;)

As  @Mahtab`s  I  like podcasts for learning english,  if you are interested  it is  ”English as a second language podcast”, give it a try .The podcasts are streamed in slow and fast speed. Also ,VOA  ,The Voice of America  ranks among the best educational  audio  programmes for non-native english students.

I am familiar with podcasts. My favourite one is British Council’s Elementary Podcast. It’s very fun and helpful for learning English. It’s elementary podcast but but every one from different levels (maybe even advenced) can enjoy and learn new things. Julie3, you should try. BBC radios have podcasts too. 


I stopped listening podcasts though. This lesson reminded me to start again.

Few years ago, one of my friends advised me to use a website for learning english by its podcasts!


It was interesting!


I could download the pre-recorded audio files of lessons or listen them online and after listening the lesson you could answer the exercises!


Of course it is more convenient if you download a podcast and listen that everytime and everywhere you want!


Now I found this podcast website useful and I wanna share with you!


There’s something for everyone who wants to learn english! ;)
