Top 20 best sites and applications to learn English (free)

So you want to learn English?

Well, talking to real people is the best way to practice English, but for many reasons that’s not always possible.

Online websites and mobile apps, however, are much more available (easy to find and use).

There are also many, many, many English learning websites that help adults learn English—but the best ones are the interactive sites.

Why? Because interactive websites will help you practice all of your skills.

Instead of only learning new vocabulary or new grammar, you can also practice listening, reading, writing and yes—even speaking!

These websites (and mobile apps) have activities where you use more than one skill: listen and respond, read and then write—just like real life.
