Since I have already started this work earlier, before the creation of this community, I do not want the information I have already shared to be lost. Therefore, I dedicate this post to telling you a little about my favorite podcast and adding links to the materials I posted earlier in connection with my work on improving my English.
So, I chose not the classic option, but active learning of English. One of the podcasts that I can safely recommend to everyone is Luke's English Podcast. Just click on the picture below and you'll be right there ⤵️
This is not only an interesting, but also a very professional podcast. The author is an English teacher and a podcaster with vast experience. Besides, he really loves what he does.
I have already said that the need to deepen my knowledge of English unexpectedly led me to a new look at English classical literature. This happened thanks to Luke's English Podcast. One of the formats of this podcast is the so-called Short Stories. You listen to the story, then check how well you understood what it said (I usually understand about 90%), then, and this is an important and useful point, there is an analysis of complex places and grammatical constructions.
Despite the fact that I already know the content of the plot, I come back to some stories again and again. In a situation where I no longer need to follow the events, I have the opportunity to be more attentive to the language. And every time I discover something new for myself!
Here are two stories I've already written about. I will not copy the content of my posts, but just give links (just click on the pictures and you will be in the right place). Believe me, these short stories deserve your attention ⤵️
The Door in the Wall by HG Wells
And finally, a bit of humor. About how I came up with the idea of this picture I've already written
Now, it seems, I have put everything together. No, these are not my only sources of learning English. This is just a summary of what I managed to write outside the English Your Way community. But there are a lot of other things I want to share. And I will also be glad to see your posts about how you learn English and what sources you use.
