영어 아직도 어렵죠? 인터넷 시대의 강점을 활용해 봅시다. 개인적으로는 duolingo.com 선호
Mauricio Diaz's curator insight, September 3, 2016 9:22 PM
Youtube has become one of the most usefull tools for searching information on enternet, there we can find news, tutorials, classes, lessons, instructions, and many more data, although it is not oficial, it is a source of information very useful even for academic people who eventually use this videos pge as a tool or source of information, it does not matter if this information is uploaded by some one who does not has knowledge about the theme or at least enough knowledge to be valid information, eventhough this page counts with an options of likes and dislikes, where people can get a type of guide to know if this information is usefull or not.
Then me as a user of this page is able say that the videos inside the page are valid at least for basic information.

Sotsiaalmeedia areng on toonud kaasa palju uusi sõnu, lühendeid ja termineid, millest vanemad inimesed aru ei saa. Noortel on tekkimas uus keel, millest ainult nemad aru saavad. Kindlasti teate, mis tähendab OMG või LOL. Aga kas te teate, mis tähendab LMK, RN või "thirsty"?
