I thought it might be a good idea to give some tips and tricks about the English language.
In this respect i found two nice websites that may help to improve your skills.
One of them is a german site and the other is made by the BBC and therefore it is completely in english.
You should try them both to see which one you like best.
Here are the links:
Additionally, for those of you who don't know it yet, there is an online dictionary, that also gives good explanations. People searching for french or spanish words will be happy to see that the dictionary works for those languages as well... 8)
I hope that I could help you a bit...
Cheers

If you are looking to practise your English and have some fun at the same time, go to Youtube.com and search for Fawlty Towers.
Great fun and great English 😆
Thank you Trainer, I searched for the Fawlty Towers and found it.
It is realy nice.

As well as Fawlty Towers any english spoken movie will work ... 😉
