Ask About English
Our site review this week is Ask About English, where ESL students can ask questions about English language or British culture and see their answers posted online by Matt Ford.
Recent questions which Matt has answered include “Let me know the meanings of To kick up a row and its use” and “What’s the difference between as far as and as long as”.
The site also has extensive sections about British culture and humour, with information about everything from pubs to football, chips to the Royal Family, as well as some classic Monty Python sketches…
There are also speaking tips, phrases of the day and info about accents and dialects, including some cockney rhyming slang.
As well as providing some useful and informative ESL answers, this is a very useful resource for students – and teachers – interested in all things British.

We find this post very useful not only for students studying English but also for teachers who prepare students for contests and olympiads of different levels.
