Excuse my English

Nice to see you here! In today's blog we're going to talk about language larning with the help of Google services . You could ask: Why Google? Well, first of all  Google services offer a wide range of tools and resources that facilitate language learning, from translation and search features to collaborative writing platforms and educational videos. Secondly, it's important to have organised study, otherwise the percentage of understanding, retention of information, motivated learning falls. So Google offer a wide range of tools and services that simplify and modify the process of language learning. Let's begin. You may have heard of  Google Workspace  - a collection of cloud-based productivity and collaboration tools that includes a suite of applications. Schools have access to a free version of Google Workspace for Education, which includes  Google Classroom , and helps children create, communicate, and collaborate at school and at home, on any device and within ...

In the ever-evolving world of technology, where information is just a click away, it's easy to forget the humble bookmark . Once a physical companion to our reading adventures, it now exists in a digital realm, quietly keeping track of our virtual journeys.   Today, digital bookmarks have become indispensable tools in navigating the vast expanse of the Internet. With a simple click, we can save articles, videos, and websites that capture our attention, creating a personal library of online resources. These virtual bookmarks not only serve as reminders of our reading preferences but also enable us to share information with others. Bookmarks are also essential for language learning as they help organize and manage language resources, saving time and enabling revisits to valuable material. If you ask me I simply use bookmarks in Chrome or other browsers that allow you to save URLs of websites for easy access. But there are a great variety of bookmarks services such as Top-Page.ru , W...

 University has made presentation services one of my most visited websites nowadays. But I can tell you for a fact, presentation is a great tool for better understanding. If you are going to present some information, telling everything by heart is not a good idea as a really small percentage of people will absorb this information. Most people have better developed visual memory, so pictures, videos and tables will be a good tool to make your audience absorb your information. And presentations can combine everything in one application. But which service is better? Well it’s a matter of taste and I am not telling you what you should do, but here you can read my honest opinion on some services. It’s not an advertising! (+ bonus at the end you can see my own presentations for some university subjects) We all started with Power Point presentations and those tasteless templates. Well maybe someone wants to argue with me, but Excuse me, I have seen every shade of this templates since ...

Today we have some interesting topics to discuss. Do you know the day when the Internet was “born”? I would say that our Internet also has stages of childhood, adolescence and youth. It has also developed through years as people do. So let’s start with the Internet’s “childhood”. Web 1.0 (1991-2004)  It was the early stage of the World Wide Web, characterized by a few content creators and primarily content-consuming users. Let’s look at its characteristics. 1. Static Content : Web 1.0 was characterized by static websites where information was presented in a one-way fashion. Users could only consume content but could not interact or contribute to it. 2. Limited User Participation: Users had limited ability to provide feedback or engage with the website. There were typically no comment sections. But notable websites like Ofoto allowed users to store and share digital photos. 3. Emphasis on Information : Websites primarily focused on providing information and serving as dig...

As we found out in the previous post, a huge number of services can help us learn language. If you haven't read it yet, then you can find out which websites to use to start or improve your language learning by clicking on this link: link;) This post is dedicated to my use of social services (I know you all can read the title). English language is a part of my life already. I have spent a great period of time with it and have tried a lot of different programs and services. As I study in University, a variety of assignments are given to us and sometimes just learning a new words by heart is not a good idea. My choice is Quizlet ! Usually I use a ready-made sets and just take tests or "Match" game or go through cards again and again, but recently I made one myself. There are 151 words on the topic "Politics" as we have a corresponding discipline in the University. Well, I know that there is still a room for improvement, but anyway I'm kinda proud of it. So, I...
