ESL Articles & Resources

English is a confusing language. After all, as one widely forwarded poem points out, there is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger, and your house can burn up as it burns down. Learning English as a second language, therefore, is quite a challenge.

At YourDictionary, we have a wealth of resources for the beginning English student, on everything from ESL Reading Activities and ESL Vocabulary Activities to ESL Songs and Euphemism Lessons.

• If you are an ESL student, Health Lessons for ESL Students and ESL Gerund Games can provide you with some practice out of the classroom

• If you are a teacher, ESL classroom activities such as ESL Classroom and Cultural Sensitivity lessons and Health Lessons for ESL Students may be most useful to you.

• For those seeking a more specialized subject of English as a Second language, we have you covered as well, with everything from ESL Fun Activities For Talking About Dating to Soap Opera ESL (just don’t get those lessons confused- you don’t want to turn your date into Soap Opera Drama).

The number of ESL resources we have is too numerous to list, so just take some Shopping Lessons and start browsing all we have to offer.
