Working the 4 Skills...

                             THE 4 LANGUAGE SKILLS

and some ideas to develop them...

 HEARING

  Doing Listening Tests now and then (de vez en cuando). 
  From the classbook as well as from Internet (I   mentioned   some).

        
        Programms from BBC Learning

             
        British Council

               
        Radio (Vaughan Radio, BBC)

        
        Watching TV or films in English: Speak Up magazine, 
        Internet, YouTube...)    

        

         An extraordinary help: That's English. It is gradual and
         effective. You only need to be persistent. Just  follow this      link:

     LEARNING PLATFORMS:    

         Fluento
         ABA English
         Duolingo
         Brainlang (highly recommendable)

        SPEAKING
     

        Getting a native speaking boyfriend or girlfriend (I               strongly recommend it).

    A way to start: repeating sentences you have memori-  

        zed, or, still better, songs you know by heart.

       Taking part in a conversation club (in Palencia, cafetería     "Oxford", in Modesto Lafuente). Here on these pictures        you have more information:

  READING

   Papers & Magazines

       Books (preferibly good ones)

  WRITING

    Doing Essays,

    Writing to some pen friend, 
    Keeping a diary in English,

    Visiting Grammar pages,
    Consulting a good Grammar  Book

 ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS:

        Through Songs (really effective)

        Studying Homophones

        Working with collocations

        Writing down any word you want to know but don't know     how it is said in English 

        Any suggestion is welcome…
