With the world totally globalized, the need to learn other languages has increased even more, and English, even though it is only the third most spoken language in the world (behind Mandarin and Spanish, believe me!) is considered the "universal language".
Therefore, learning this language has become a must for anyone who wants to reach great positions, in any branch of the job market. Knowing English, you can get by almost anywhere in the world. And nowadays, you don't even have to spend lots of money to learn this language.
Here are five tips for you to learn English for free online:
Doing exercises online
Nowadays, there are websites that also allow you to test your English level and learn a little more each day. Paying very little - or nothing - you do quality English exercises, usually divided into stages of knowledge: beginner, intermediate and advanced.
One of the examples of such sites is Babbel, where you learn from simple terms, such as "Hello", to much more complex words and phrases.
Using mobile apps
This tip couldn't be missed. With apps like Babbel, you can take classes every day, whenever you want, and gradually improve your English level. Of course: the app alone will not make you fluent, but combined with other forms of study, it can help you a lot.
Watching movies and series
Youtube, Netflix and all video platforms can be great allies when learning English for free on the internet. If you already have a reasonable level of the language, the tip is to watch videos in English with English subtitles, to associate the sound of the words with the way they are written.
Then, when you're getting to the advanced level, you can start trying to watch videos with English audio and no subtitles. The important thing at the beginning is not to understand 100% of the words, but to capture the context of each message.
Analyzing song lyrics
Gone are the days when you had to have Kazaa or other download programs to listen to music. Today, any song is on Spotify and/or YouTube, and the lyrics are spread across hundreds of websites.
Listen to your favorite songs in English more carefully, focusing on the lyrics and taking the opportunity to train your listening. It will be worth it!
Reading websites and blogs in English
As the "universal language", there is content online in English on basically every subject imaginable. So, pick a topic that you like (sports, math, movies, religion, whatever) and start looking for sites in English that talk about it.
You will train your reading in English without it being something boring, as you will be, at the same time, acquiring knowledge about a subject of your interest.
