e-English
English: e-classroom
An easy and fun way to learn a foreign language.
Demo e-classrooms
We have prepared a DEMO classroom for you to see what e-classrooms look like and what you can expect from the others. We are sure that you will be impressed by our way of teaching a foreign language. Remember that the best way to learn a foreign language is a combination of independent e-learning and learning with a teacher. Therefore, if you want an increased effect of independent learning, we recommend attending a language course either live or online.
In the e-classrooms, we combine closed-type and open-type tasks: drag and drop, fill in the blanks, True or false?, interactive videos, choose the correct answer, tasks related to a music video and much more. The tasks are accompanied by audio and video clips, which will help you practice pronunciation.
