Dear Penny,
How are you doing? I haven’t heard from you for a while.
Speaking about me, I’m fine. I have started a new course in the
university which is called the Lexical Management. I think you can figure out
what we are doing during the classes with
remarkable ease. This course helps us build our vocabulary by using online tools. As you liked
English, I think that these resources will make you feel enthusiastic about learning this foreign language as well as
brush up on some constructions.
First and foremost, I’d like to
tell you about some vocabulary dictionaries. They include Urban
Dictionary, MacMillan Dictionary
and Cambridge Dictionary. Urban Dictionary describes words in more
informal context. You are
able to make comments there.
It is a great opportunity to rack
your brains, because you can provide your own definitely. Usually,
people use it mostly for slang.
MacMillan Dictionary gives you a
great example how to use this word in the sentence. If you are got used to work
by a step-by-step approach
you should try Cambridge Dictionary.
It provides definition for different English lever-learners.
If talk about online tools, Tagul and
Quizlet are definitely worth
mentioning. Most of all, I like using Tagul.
With the help of it, you can show your creativeness. It forms word clouds from
the lists using different symbols. In the same time Quizlet is the first tool is used for
creating flashcards and learning words with their help. This resource breaks down the task down into several
stages. At first, you learn new words, and then you can play with them,
pass different tests and so on. In fact, this tool is very effective as you revise
the words, and because of this, you start to
know them like a back of your hand.

I hope that you’ll get the hang
of using these tools, and they will be as effective for recalling and learning words as
they were for me.
Lots of love,
Lena
