Vocabulary and idioms

There’s a lot of talk about learning vocabulary, but it’s not necessarily the most effective way to learn English. First of all, we need to know in what context to use a given word. Therefore, it is best to learn entire phrases and phrases, including, of course, idioms and even entire sentences – and the didactics of the Speakingo online English course are built on this philosophy.

This does not mean, however, that sometimes, for fun, it is not worth learning new words, for example technical or industry ones, or seeing how many of the most popular verbs, nouns or adjectives we already know!

Texts from the category below are a great opportunity for this!
