Overview

Learn the English you need to communicate successfully in everyday situations.

What you'll learn:
  • Understand the English used in a range of everyday situations.
  • Learn the appropriate English expressions to use in similar situations.
  • Learn over 500 words of vocabulary.

Do you already have a basic knowledge of English, but want to improve your ability to communicate in real-life situations? And do so in a fun, enjoyable way? Then Everyday English for ESL is just the course for you!

Each lesson begins with a fully-animated dialogue, which presents the vocabulary, grammar, and expressions you need to know in order to communicate successfully in English in a wide range of everyday situations.

The situations include:

  • ordering food in a fast food restaurant

  • checking-in at the airport

  • making an appointment on the phone

  • returning goods to a shop

The dialogue is presented with and without speech bubbles, and is followed by:

  • a listen and repeat activity to help you improve your pronunciation and intonation

  • a listening comprehension passage related to the topic of the lesson

  • a series of questions for you to answer about the lesson topic

An MP3audio version of the lesson is also available.

All the audio material has been recorded by professional voice actors with British or American accents, and each lesson comes with a ten-page downloadable PDF, which contains:

  • a full transcript of the video

  • language notes, explaining key grammar and vocabulary points

  • a word list

  • a series of language exercises

  • a crossword,

  • a word search puzzle

Most of the activities can also be done online, and the extra resources include Quizlet flashcard sets featuring the vocabulary used in each lesson.

At the end of the course, there’s a Final Quiz, to test what you have learnt. And as a special bonus, you will be able to download a 45-page guide to online English learning resources.

UPDATE
In March 2021 I added a bonus lesson: My Daily Routine, in which you will learn how to describe your daily routine using the present simple tense and adverbs of frequency.And, of course, the lesson features all the usual resources.
