Hi guys.
Today i will talk about BBC learning english, a website that helps you to study English. To access the site, you must visit the following link (https://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/).
The site is divided into categories, and is divided into different sections such as: Courses, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, news, more.
I think that the site helps a lot to understand English with the different courses that they have, i think that each activity will help you to study English.
Now i will write a little bit about each category.
Courses:
In this section i chose to watch the video of the first section where a group of people who struggle to speak English gather in a circle to introduce themselves and learn how to use English in their daily lives. i find it a very useful video because apart from giving us the material to use English in our daily lives, it shows us a part of the basic English learning path, i find it very useful to start with.
The link to the activity is:

For grammar i chose the activity "like", where they teach how to use the word "like" in different contexts. i like how it teaches us with a video about how they like cats, it's a short but entertaining activity. i think it's useful to be able to put together sentences when referring to someone's taste, it's a little short but for all the activities on the site, it's very good.

Pronunciation:
For pronunciation i chose the tim section, which teaches us how to pronounce English in a correct way, with different activities, etc. The video i chose "Tim´s pronunciation workshop" he goes out to the streets of london to do an activity of how one pronounces some phrases that tim gives him, however the pronunciation is not the same for everyone, some change some words, say it in a different way, etc. i find it very useful because it is a short video that focuses on how one pronounces the different words, i really liked that it is not only tim who speaks, but also some inhabitants of london.

Vocabulary:
For vocabulary i chose to watch the vegetable video, where they put together phrases with 10 different vegetables. i liked the video because it names the vegetables and the phrases more than once, plus everything it says is written, i think the video works both as vocabulary and pronunciation, the phrases seem very useful to me because in our daily life we eat vegetables and more than once we have used those phrases in Spanish.

News:
The site's news is not a written page, but a video newscast, where the reporters talk about the news and show us images of what they are talking about. For this section i chose the video of section 1 "The hottest January day ever", i really liked how they told the news. i find it very useful because apart from learning English, you also get information about what is going on in the world.

More:
For the "more" point i chose to do a quiz where i had to complete the words, i liked it a lot but it was very short :(, i would have liked it to be longer sjsjsjsjsj. However i found it very useful, since you must remember how to write the words that ask you, i feel it works as memory and vocabulary.

I still feel that the quizzes are too short
