Here’s the Secret to Learning English…

Memorizing vocabulary lists and studying grammar rules will not make you speak English like a native. The true secret to learning English is to do what children do.
We've Already Helped Thousands of People Learn English! Let me explain… Children learn the language that they speak by being immersed in it. Children are born speaking no language at all, yet, by the time they are 2 years of age, they are capable of speaking the language that is spoken in their home and community.
    Children this young are not able to read, so you know they didn’t memorize lists of words and grammar rules. They didn’t spend hours studying or doing homework. They just “pick the language up” as they go along with their lives.

Why do we blog?

"In terms of why people blog, well, my belief is that it's to have a voice, however small.         To think that just like the people who write those fancy opinion columns for The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, you too can share your thoughts, vent, and complain to the public at large. Having said that, there are lots of really smart bloggers who have interesting perspectives on the news, politics, sports, business, etc., people who wouldn't otherwise be heard in mainstream media.

"That's why I read blogs, about 150/daily, and that's why I write my own blogs too. Of my own blogs, perhaps the most interesting to your readers are both The Intuitive Life Business Blog, which is where I talk about the business of the Internet and how blogging can be an extraordinarily effective marketing channel, and APparenting.com, where my wife and I share real life stories of parenting in this modern world.

"Sometimes I'll write something and never get a response from anyone, but other times I'll write about something like an ethical challenge for a Fortune 500 business or the lame excuses men use for cheating on their spouse, and it'll garner dozens or even hundreds of comments from other people, readers who share perspectives I never knew.

what is a blog ?

A blog  is a type of website or part of a website. Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Most blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via widgets on the blogs and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (video blogging or vlogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.
