If you haven’t gotten the results you wanted yet, it’s not because you’re bad at languages, it’s because you haven’t found your own special way of learning yet.
Listening to as much English as you can will help you to improve your level of understanding and you'll also improve your speaking and pronunciation.

Sound like a Native Speaker
Have you ever listened to a non-English speaker trying to communicate and it sounds like a computer speaking? This is fairly common because most people learn to speak English from textbooks. Unfortunately, textbooks are not able to provide the feelings behind the words and it can come across as sounding rather robotic. Stop speaking like a textbook and start speaking like a native speaker.
"Word on the Street" is an exciting English Language teaching programme co-produced by the BBC and the British Council. Improve your language level and learn about the UK and its culture by watching our Word on the Street video series. These materials are for intermediate B1 and upper intermediate B2 level learners.

Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.
Do you want to sound more natural when you speak English? Do you sometimes struggle to understand native speakers' pronunciation? This series is for you! Join him now in his pronunciation workshop.
One of the first things you’ll notice when learning a language is the speed at which natives speak. Even if you understand words written on the page, when you hear them spoken at full speed by a native speaker you can feel like you’re listening to a confusing collection of random sounds.
This programs use a basic vocabulary of 1500 words and slower speed (about 90 words per minute, or half the normal speaking speed). It is easier for people to understand, no matter where in the world they live
When you see the word, your brain is making one type of connection. When you hear the word, your brain is making another connection to the word you are studying. When you say the word, you are merging two things together that make a powerful connection. Finally, you need to practice using the word. The act of practicing makes each connection stronger so you don't forget.
It is said that in order to innovate, one needs to be taken out of their comfort zone. If the task is too difficult and it will create frustration. On the other hand, if it's too easy, then motivation level drops significantly. OPOO stands for online learning at your own level, at your own pace, at a time and place of your choosing. Dreamlanguages provides quality education across all levels from beginners to proficiency. Changing the level is always possible either automatically or when you think you are ready.
The best space to learn
Room for all
We are all different and we learn differently. That is why our mission to create ROOM FOR ALL and give the students and teachers the possibility to decide where and how they work in the best way possible.
What can you get?
Self-Directed Education
Support learners in achieving a level of self-teaching and having the freedom to choose their own projects. Over time, they can reclaim the ability to initiate their own behavior, just as they once did in infancy and early childhood. Self-organization can extend to caring about the classroom environment.
Linking education, creativity and entrepreneurship
We offer a number of programs for students after school hours that allow these young learners to explore their passions in areas often not covered in-depth at the schools. One of the very successful offerings has been entrepreneurship.
The best place to sit
At Freedom Learning Space we focus on creating learning environments that satisfy diverse and changing needs. We develop learning spaces with our designs are meant to inspire curiosity and creativity in the students, and provide the foundation for better concentration, performance and learning.
Creating more comfortable environments
We all learn best when we’re comfortable. Why then do schools confine students to small, cramped desks with hard seats and very little of space for our book or tablet or laptop or paper. Creating more comfortable environments that mimic the way we sit and move when we are learning independently can help spark that kind of natural learning
Freedom Learning Space
Development of Individuality through the Freedom of Learning
A good education system gives students the freedom to recognize their capabilities and individual potentials. As creative thinkers, they try to imagine and explore alternatives, and to think in a different manner. To learn on their own, youth need unlimited time to play, explore, become bored, overcome boredom, discover their own interests, and pursue those interests.
What does freedom in learning mean to you?
The purpose of education, finally, is to create in a person the ability to look at the world for himself, to make his own decisions, to say to himself this is black or this is white, to decide for himself whether there is a God in heaven or not. To ask questions of the universe, and then learn to live with those questions, is the way he achieves his own identity.
