Resources

Here are some useful resources which will help you improve your English, as well as your social skills.

Keep Your English Up to Date. A useful site by the BBC with lots of contemporary words you may come across.

Buzz words from Macmillan Dictionary to help you keep up with contemporary language and expressions.

Macmillan Dictionary Blog: a great place to learn new words and linguistic trends. You can also follow it on Facebook, which I find fascinating. In fact, I’m beginning to question the need to go to classes when there’s so much info available now on the Internet. Well, I guess, nothing beats face-to-face communication…

Debrett’s Online: The authority on matters of etiquette, British lifestyle, modern living and all that.  My favorite section is Debrett’s Guide to British Behaviour: great insights into all things British, from Apologizing to the Weather.
