10 really useful APPs for Engl
The question:Can you find 10 APPS for English Learning?
You might say :Yes, I found 30. Even more than 30 , I found 100......
But how many of them that you use for more than 30 days or years?
......
What I recommened to you here , is,
something really worthy for you to use for months even years ,
something really valuable for you to build a structure or system for your langue learning , even more for your self-traning.
So now comes the list :
NO 1 : coursera
——everyone can be educated if you have smart-phone
or computer
Actually,cousera is not just a app but a platform incuding a website with the same name.
The idea of courses sharing from a computer professor named Daphne Koller , from Stanford universtiy. Later on , her colleague , Andrew Ng , who is Originally from HongKong , put his subjuect "machine learning" on the website, surprisely and accidently , it turned out more than 100,000 registers for Andrew's course. That is just part of the begining of the legend that now become a worldwide fluence flag in online open-class platforms.
Now, cousersa , give people who have smart-phone or computer the equal opportunity for learning those courses from almost all the famous universities all over the world.
APPs similiar to coursera :
1. NetEase OpenCourse ——网易公开课 ,plenty of people ,especially who like to show off , use this app a lot. When you meet your boss, you might say

and your boss smiling ,find a topic with you who holding the same hobby with her.
Feminism , and office politics.
Yes, as a loser in female boss system , I have been holding those bad memories for so long and experience them for practising chinese office skill time and time again.
2. TED
People always know what is TED, however ,what is it?
3 words and long history from 1984. You can check it in WikiPedia where is also a sea of knowledges.
Here, I talk about the usage of TED. People in stage , talk , slow and clear , and the expressions they use is very common ,useful and easy. What we can do is trying to imitate them , not just for spoken English but also for the speech skill that help to spread your own ideas,independently, to a much boarder world than you live before. Learning how to speak it out from TED, the expressions, the logics, the emotions, the structures......and so on.
NO 2 : Seed —— Reading define world
Sorry for I can't find the logo of the APP named seed. It's quite minority , which is not as popular as chinese Information Aggregation APPs.
But for ESLs, who learn English as a second language , extensive reading is truly necessary as a must-to-do item. Different tags , different inspired news or thoughts , different things we never knew. Different angles or viewpoints......
Reading define world is the slogan at the skip-page on the APP.

2.HEADlINE :
英语头条. A useful APP with a boring name.
NO 3:每日英语听力—— If you feel bored with English , maybe you can try French

Famous,not just for English,also for French,German.....even Chinese. An ambitious APP family or so called Product Line.
No other competitor with the same amibition.
NO 4 :DAKA : single task for every single day
Are you single?
Single, means,1 , not zero, not multiple .
Single , simple. Every day , 1 situation and 3 questions.
DAKA, is a Chinese saying, in English , similar to punch the clock. This expression goes popular as a trend everywhere in the virtual land where is connected by encoding btyes, however in the world with smog , we all hate punching the hell clocks in the office.
Daka, can be a concept of time management. And praticed by massive people , long time ago , in some groups in douban which is a website for who like reading ,music and moives.....now they are in a official account platform in Wechat , constantly , daka, like a kind of religion.
