I think this is the best website i've ever come across.The reason of being best is that this contains all sort of activities and as well as all levels.So it suits everyone from child to adult,students to teacher and new-learner to someone whose first language is English.

I'm a language trainer teaching business English to professionals in company. Since I discovered your podcasts and activities I've compiled background articles and used the listening activities to stimulate discussion and debate. I've also encouraged highly motivated trainees to find out more by themselves. Your website is top of my list of favourites and I truely hope that you'll be carrying it on for as long as possible. Many thanks

When I was young my father bought a mini which was made by British Motor Corporation - they don't exist anymore but the mini is still manufactured and it is still an iconic car! I remember family outings with the four kids in the back and mum and dad in the front. Now my sister drives a mini - I laugh to think four of us could sit in one!
