Other ways to learn english: TV Shows I've recently joined iTalk community as I would like to improve my english skills. Since now, I never did an Skype lesson; I used to have face to face training, following grammar books (boring!) and it takes to me too long to discover that this method was not as effective as expected. I don't expect to take the 'fast lane' to improve as I know I've to work hard so I'm working in my english inmersion. I'm watching TV programs in original version and recently I found several series to follow up. I've just ended Miranda show, which is about a 40-year-old girl a bit akward and her mum, who has made finding a husband to his daughter the target of her life. It's hilarious! I also like some other kind of series but that one is ok for the lunch time as it last about 20 minutes per episode.
