Resources

Learning English isn’t something that happens for only a few hours a week in a classroom.  If you want to truly understand others and be understood yourself, then you have to live, breathe, and eat your target language.  Here are some resource websites to help you continue to practice anytime and anyplace. Check back from time-to-time to see if there are any new links.
