Home Study: Your Hobbies & Interests

In previous posts we looked at home study using the Internet. We covered ESL websites and English teachers on YouTube. These are great resources, and ESL learners can get a lot from them.....

BUT

You should also include your hobbies and interests in your English language studies. 

For example, you enjoy sports and athletics, you can go on to websites such as the Canadian writer, Martin Springall's sports blog at Medium.com.

If you're interested in clean energy, go on writer Brian Publicover's Twitter feed for Recharge News. 

Your instructor, Jason Broomes,  is a fan of comic books, and there are many excellent websites such Comic Book Resources which has many articles on graphic novels and creators including videos that feature  interviews with comic book writers, artists, as well as celebrities from TV and film.

In fact, I use comic book characters and drawings in my ESL lessons whenever I have a chance.

For film lovers, there's the blog Slash/Film with the latest movie news. There's Gizmodo for people who like technology. Gamers can enjoy websites such as   Twitch TV  and  Hit Box   where you can chat with other gamers, and watch live video games.

The point is to make your English language studies fun. 

This will help you practice, and remember new words and expressions, and make English a bigger part of your daily life. 

By making your interest and hobbies part of your ESL studies, you will become more confident and more fluent in your English language communication.
