Video with the most common words in English language

Why and how to learn English vocabulary with audio?

The reasons for learning English are as obvious as they are countless. It has become an essential language for exchanging with the whole world, whether for professional reasons ("I am on a business trip"), to travel anywhere, or simply to be able to chat on social networks.

All the vocabulary related to travel will be useful to you regardless of the situation you find yourself in ("Is it far from here?") and the reason you are studying the language. If you visit an English-speaking country, also learn basic expressions for your daily life ("Where could I get an internet connection?").

You probably already know a lot of basic terms, but our vocabulary sheets and proposals for novels, films, series and music will help you stay in touch with the language in all possible ways and practice it regularly.
