      Look for sites that include an audio component. This is important, since many English words do not sound the way that they are spelled. Many English language dictionaries also offer this feature. Users simply type in a word and click on an icon to hear the correct pronunciation.

      Consider joining a site that focuses on speaking with other language learners. These sites complement an individual's conventional studies by allowing them to speak with people from around the world. Individuals are paired according to the language that they speak and the language that they desire to learn. For example, an individual who speaks Mandarin Chinese and wishes to learn English is paired with a native English speaker who desires to learn Mandarin. Individuals participating in these exchanges often become friends--an added bonus.
