HOW TO LEARN 3000 WORDS

1. Choose your level.

2. Read every new short story in your level once. 

3. Look at all new words in the dictionary.

4. Read the new English story again.

5. If there is an English listening video, listen to the video. Listen to the easy listening video again and again. Stop listening when you understand perfectly all words.

6. Listen to 2 or more old videos and check if you still understand them.

If you listen to English news every day, you can learn very fast step by step. You will understand fast and you will not have to translate. Why?

When you learn English, you must learn in whole sentences and in context. You must learn how to understand the whole sentences with no translations. When you listen to people in your native language, you don't translate. You simply undestand. The same must be in English.

Students who translate English texts, do exercises and do tests are very good at translating, doing exercises and tests, but they have usually a big problem with English listening and understanding fast in real life. In real life, nobody waits for your translation. You must understand with no translation like in your native language. If not, you cannnot be part of communication because you are slow. With translating, you will always be slow. These words are maybe hard but they are true. 

You also have to listen to every new word 5 or 10 times if you want to remember it. That's why we use the same easy English words in one level. We repeat the same words in one English article too. If you read and hear the same words again and again, you will understand them and remember them. If you know words from one level perfectly, you can go to a higher level and learn new words. It is important to go step by step, and read and hear words which are used in English often. This is what we do. In our short stories, we use words which are used in English often.

So, if you want to understand fast and learn fast, use this website every day 15 minutes or more. We are trying to do everything possible to help you learn English fast and understand it. That's why we write English news for you.

BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT NEWS IN LEVELS

They are written in easy English for students who want to practice their listening and reading skills on the internet. We write English articles for you in three different English reading levels.

News in Levels use a special method for choosing special English words and grammar for every level. Many students like it because they understand grammar and phrases in our free short stories. With a lot of good listening, English can become very easy for you. This method is very good for students who need to practise simple English listening and reading.

In all levels we repeat the same simple English words. We use only English grammar and phrases which you need for your level. Maybe at the beginning you will not understand all words in your level but after three months, if you listen and read to all short stories in English, you can understand simple English news. You can learn fast because we repeat the same words which you need for your communication.

News in English and videos are for everybody. If you are a teacher, you can use these basic English stories and videos for ESL (English as a second language) activities. You can use them for different ESL activities, usually listening activities and reading activities to practise your students’ reading skills and listening skills.
