Five Learning Resources to Get You Started
by Jakarta Teaching Centre team
1. Grammarly
You know what’s annoying? Making silly grammar or spelling mistakes in your emails and only realizing after you’ve sent it. Grammarly is a service that plugs into your browser that can help you with that. The free version corrects simple mistakes and is a great free resource to start practicing your English writing skills. The paid version even catches more complex grammatical and stylistic errors.
2. Quizlet
You know what’s even more annoying? Learning a new word and then forgetting it two days later. With the Quizlet website or app, you can record all the new words and phrases you learn and keep it in a virtual vocabulary notebook. Not only does it help you with writing definitions, it also has a variety of different games and learning modes that can keep you engaged for longer.
3. EnglishScore

Your EnglishScore is also aligned to CEFR and IELTS to help you get a picture about your current English language ability.
