Thinking English

In this post I am going to write about some resources available on the Internet that can be very useful in English learning. In fact, I use some of them when I write in this blog. Sometimes, they are helpful to solve my doubts and sometimes help me to find a bit of inspiration.
First of all, I use some online dictionaries. I will give you the addresses of three of them that I consider more interesting but there are a lot on the Internet.
The Free Online Dictionary is an online application where you can search for words, idioms, acronims, etc. It lists a lot of definitions of each word you are looking for, and you can hear word's pronunciation too.
The Urban Dictionary is useful when you are searching for the meaning of words that are used in the streets and probably are not referenced in standard dictionaries.
Finally, Cambridge Online Dictionary
is a very complete dictionary online and also you can download it and use it in your mobile phone. Moreover, it is supported by Cambridge University.
A translator can be useful sometimes as well. I usually use two that you can find using Google search engine. These are El Mundo's translator and Google translator. Both of them do the same but sometimes you can get slightly different results from one to the other.
I also read English in newspapers, magazines and web pages all over the web. You can try the online version of The Times and Sunday Times. If you are interested in politics, finances and business, then you should visit The Financial Times or The Economist. However, if you prefer magazines you can follow this link and you will get a list of magazines that you can read on the Internet.
If you want to listen to English speaking people you can try with podcast. If you search in Google "English podcast" like I did, you will get millions of results. I will recommend you one and if you do not like it or if you want more, then visit Google. You can visit China232 and listen to some of the podcasts. I hope you find them interesting.
I have more interesting links to share but it is enough for this post, I will write about my "Favourites list" again in the future. Furthermore, I am adding new resources frequently.
Enjoy this links and make your own searches. Surf the web!
