Lesson Three - Forvo, Ozdic and Urbandictionary

Bilingual dictionaries are a very important tool for an English-language learner, but they are not the only tool.
Today we are going to talk about a pronunciation dictionary,  a collocations dictionary and dictionaries of slang and new words.

Lesson Two - Online Translation Services and Bilingual Dictionaries

Everyone who studies English has to work with dictionaries. At first, a learner’s dictionary is enough, but the more you study, the more different dictionaries and sources you need.

Some use online translation services like Google Translate or Translate.ru. Are they trustworthy and are they enough for a student? Well, let us see into that.

Another thing to test today is the online dictionaries. Which is better and for what purposes? - We are to answer.

Lesson One - Creating a Blog. Voki.

Hi, this is our course blog. Note its URL as you will often come here during the course. There at least four reasons for that.

Firstly, this is where you will get tasks every week.

Secondly, here on the right-hand panel is the link to a Google sheet where you can follow your course progress. Please mind that by the end of the 17th week you are to get at least 60% of the total task points to complete the course successfully.

Thirdly, this is where you are to report the completion of the “comment on three other groupmates” task. (You are to leave permalinks to your comments under the post of the corresponding lesson).

Finally, here you can ask questions about the blog and the tasks, write your feedback and ideas.
