This post is about my perception of the BBC English-learn webpage (http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/).
It’s a kinda strange for me to practice English in this way; I think I have some social
and cultural prejudgments when I’m learning something. My mind is asking itself
all the time what I’m doing and why I’m doing for; so, it’s different (to me) been
learning English at the time you see a movie or at the time you’re reading some
articles on the web than learning English in the BBC webpage. Maybe this sounds
a little paranoid, but I don’t feel fully comfortable with BBC’s free English course
(I been always thought the language is created by-and-to the people and it’s so
mutable and upgradeable that it can’t be “standardized” by organisms of any
type, because every different social, cultural or demographic group has they
own way to communicate).

Forgetting my paranoia, I think the course is very good (LOL). It has very good mechanisms
to bring the English to everyday situations and it has interesting and pleasantly stuff to practice the language almost as a way to distend. I strongly recommend it!
Good Bye!
Yeah, the fact that the BBC made a site about english learning was suspicious to me too but, forgetting that, we can take a profit of the resources found there.
ResponderEliminarYou can use it but you have to be alert in case of you find something which main function don't seems to be education (it make me remember when an article giving support to Soledad Alvear, in election time, was found on an English Book on Chile).
P.S: I love the GIF image XD
I agree that language changes all the time. I think it is fantastic there is a site where you can do a number of different things with the purpose of learning, though. I also think it is good you ask yourself why you do things. I hate your video...
ResponderEliminarLOL Paranoia haha Yeah...I think it's uncorfontable to learn english from some website because of the nagging voice in your head that keeps on telling you to close the page. But nonetheless it's a good website. It's the fist time that the voice in my head thing didn't happen, I least :)
