Sansa ta de a-ti imbunatati engleza

Sansa ta de a-ti imbunatati englezaConcordia doreste sa se asigure ca beneficiezi din plin de sederea ta. De aceea am pregatit impreuna cu British Council acest ghid de conversatie, pentru a te ajuta sa inveti limba engleza in timp ce lucrezi la ferma. Toti vor aprecia efortul tau si te vor ajuta sa te descurci atunci cand iesi in oras singur.

Un lucru cheie pe care sa-l tii minte este sa nu spui nicodata ”da” atunci cand nu ai inteles ce ti s-a spus. Este intotdeauna bine sa repeti cu cuvintele tale, in limba engleza, ceea ce ai inteles pentru a te asigura ca ai inteles correct. Cu putin efort vei incepe sa vorbesti limba engleza foarte repede.

Facilitati de invatare on-line, de la British CouncilDaca doresti sa auzi pronuntia sau sa iti imbunatatesti cunostintele de limba engleza, intra pe http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org. Este special alcatuit pentru cei care invata limba engleza in aceasta tara.Este gratis si a ajutat mii de oameni din UK sa isi imbunatateasca cunostiintele de imba engleza.

Curs de o luna in limba engleza la Universitatea din ManchesterSau, daca doresti un curs rezidential in limba engleza, poti merge la Universitatea din Manchester, dupa ce ai terminat munca la ferma, pentru un curs de patru saptamani.
