How I found italki I had English lessons at school for 6 years. After school there was a long time I didn`t need the English language at all. Now, I need to speak English in different situations related to my work. I want to learn English for private purpose too. I started to learn English again some time ago. In the beginning, I only used the app “Babbel”. I recently discovered some other apps such as MosaLingua that provides expressions and phrases related to different job branches. These apps are useful to learn words and phrases. They don`t help to improve your speaking skills very much. I like reading books in English and listening to English audiobooks. I don`t catch every word and I often look up words or phrases in a dictionary. I particularly like the British English. I have difficulties to understand American English when I watch a film. The app Learning English from the BBC is very funny and helpful with short lessons and articles. I have been listening to podcast too lately. I like Luke`s ENGLISH podcast really well. You can learn words and phrases that occur in many different situations. His podcasts include very varied issues and topics both about every day live and more special stuff. He presents the podcast in a really funny and enthusiastic way. Luke is an English teacher who does the podcast in his free time. He mentions italki, which is a sponsor, in almost every podcast. And so I learned about italki.
