About

Hello,

I started this blog as a space to provide resources and information for learners of English, and in my posts here I'll be exploring the English language in all its incredible variety, history, quirkiness and character.

I live in the UK, and for readers planning to move to the UK, or just wanting to know more about life here, I'll also be describing some of the many interesting aspects of UK culture, customs and traditions.

Many English language learners, including my students, find English phrasal verbs difficult to learn and use. You'll find lots of definitions and examples on this blog, and you can expect one or two new ones to be added most days. I try to find interesting and relevant photos for my definitions because images can be very useful for learning and memorizing language.

The English language is rich in idioms and I think they are a particularly fascinating area of language, so you can expect to see new examples of these added regularly too.

I hope you find the information here useful. If there's anything in particular you would like me to write about, please let me know. And if you have anything to say about any of the posts, please add a comment because I would love to hear from you.

Guest posts

I am happy to accept guest posts for this blog, so if you have anything you would like to share about your experiences of using, learning or teaching English, please let me know.

Who am I?

I'm Angela Boothroyd. I teach English for speakers of other languages, and I'm also a freelance e-learning consultant.

I'm a qualified teacher, with an ESOL subject specialism, and I have an MA in Online and Distance Education, and an MEd in Applied Linguistics.

I live in Cornwall, in the UK, in a cottage by the sea. I'm a bookworm and bibliophile and I'm never without at least one book on the go. I'm very interested in Russian literature and history and, when I have the time, I enjoy photography, music and gardening.

Best wishes,

    Hi! 
     
    I find your blog very interesting and want to ask you a favor.
    Our team is working on a new website (http://wordsteps.com) which can people help to improve vocabulary. This is a web 2.0 project and we think that it's worth to mention it or write an article and publish on your website. We are trying to create a free and useful service for learning languages. 
     
    About service:
    WordSteps is a new interactive on-line startup which can help people to memorize new foreign words. Оn-line flashcards and free interactive exercises. Dictionaries include English, Spanish, French, Russian, Mandarin, and others. Users can create their own dictionaries and learn words with 6 available exercises. Flashcards can be printed to use without the Internet. Our plans: add more languages, translate site into Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, add free mobile client and desktop app (almost done), add sounds and more.  
     
    Please, let me know if you need some material about the article, we can write and send it to you. 
     
    Thanks, Vladimir.
