Useful Stuff Out There

I'd like to share with you some useful stuff which I found out there, on the Internet.

First of all I'd like to share the link to some wonderful audio websites.

My first discovery was Learn Englsh TV. I recommend to spend some time surfing around this website, because it is quite unique. It contains a lot of reading and audio material good both for teachers and for selfstudying. In short, information is divided by levels or by categories which is really nice.

Secondly, thre is a huge bunch of different podcasts with video and without. You are free to choose whatever you want. Here several links for you podcasts in English, BBC podcasts, etc. Go out there and find out  favourite.

Probably, for now it is all I'd like to share with you guys, but remember I'll let you know in case I find something really interesting.

Let's keep in touch!

Present Simple Questions

Questions are not that difficult!!!

My teacher at school used to say: "... in order to make a question make up a sentence first in your head!" Believe it or not I still use it when I'm stuck in the middle of a talk!

The explanation first, than I will give some very good pieces of advice!

Almost every question in English is based on the structure of general questions. So how do we form a general question? Very simple. Start with the sentence. Let's look at the example.
