In the age of technology, you can take advantage of new applications which are very
useful for learning English.
One way is to download free digital lessons and put them in your media player or
other similar mobile devices. Then you can listen and study anywhere because these
devices are portable. Many devices offer apps which use voice recognition technology.
This technology allows the use of speaking electronic dictionaries. You can see words
on the screen and hear them spoken. Other devices may have word lists, exercises,
tests and games.
There is also software that can help improve your pronunciation. You can choose to
practise with different native English speakers. Some English learning software offers a
choice of accents and genders of the speakers. This software can be used with
different kinds of media players.
Many electronic mobile devices can work as recorders or cameras. They can be used
to record real - life English speech, lessons, songs or English language films from
television or the Internet. This is also an excellent way to learn English because these
recordings can be used again and again.
New technology opens new ways to learn. Choose a device that suits your learning
style. This will make learning English easier, faster, more effective and more enjoyable.
