Studying English for Free

There are many free resources for studying English in the U.S.. I went to an adult school two days ago. I have learned more than I expected. The class does not have any restriction on age, education or race. You just go to the classroom and fill out an application form that only requires your basic information such as name, phone number and address. After that, you start to enjoy the free classes. There are four different levels in this course and you can choose the one that fits your level. My class is held from 09:00AM to 12:00PM every weekday except Friday. The class are separated into three parts. The first part is pronunciation practice. The teacher speaks words with similar pronunciations and the students write them down. I think this part is good for practicing listening and vocabularies. The second part is watching video episodes. Watching and listening the video will increase your concentration. By this method, you can learn varieties of American culture and grammar. For example, I learned the word "locksmith", which means a person who fixes door locks or a store that fixes locks. From this video I also learned about the function of HUD (Housing and Urban Development), which is to accept your complainants about renting an apartment. Conversation with classmates is the last part in the class. We follow the topic that the teacher gives out and present our opinions to others. At times we just have free talks but I still can get used to speak English at this time. All of parts are worth to take and you will find out you are getting better on English piece by piece.
