I'm training a speaking test - "Learning English"
Nowadays there are a lot of ways to learn English. The school is one of them, but it's also the most traditional.
When I was a child we started learning English at primary school when we were twelve years old. Teachers at primary school often didn't have enough knowledge about English language and the studies were focused only in grammar.
Now, teachers are specialist and we all know that it`s very important starting learning English as soon as possible in childhood, as a second language.
Grammar is essential to learn English but now the academies and oficial schools, which have a main role in this matter, focus in other aspects very important such as speaking, listening and the practise of a correct pronuntiation.
But going to an academy or a school isn't enough, and you have to do extra activities. In this way modern technology and Internet can help us.
