There are two ways to practice your English. The first is to do the comprehension exercises in your coursebook. This method has the advantage that it has been carefully chosen for your level and it has the corresponding disadvantage of feeling like an exercise. The second way is to read, listen to or watch something that you are interested in, precisely because you are interested in it. Perhaps it is more difficult but it is also more satisfying because it is more real. In the end, this is why you are learning English—to interact with the language that real-life English speakers use.

This second type is the sort of practice that Get Some English aims to provide. It could be an article, a film or video, it might be theatre or something to buy at the news-stand. Sometimes it will be on the web, other times it will be in the real world here in Rome (sorry non-Romans!).
