The British Council has made it possible for everyone interested in the whole world, including Serbia, to learn English on the Internet for free. The LearnEnglish portal (http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/)  was developed by the greatest English language experts from the United Kingdom. It is intended for all those who want to learn the language in the simple way, by using fun and interactive contents, or to improve their existing knowledge of the world language number one.

The LearnEnglish site includes texts, video clips, podcast listening materials, games and rich interactive contents that allow users to exchange comments, learn through mutual conversation and become part of the global community gathered around the English language. There are also exercises through which site visitors can check their knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, spelling and spoken English comprehension skills.  

The LearnEnglish site is especially useful for those who plan to get some of the internationally recognized English language certificates, such as Cambridge exams certificates (FCE, CAE, CPE and others).

Also interesting is the segment "You're Hired," which helps young people to master the language skills that are tested when searching for a job, such as an oral conversation during the job interview (which is often a very frequent practice not only of international companies operating in Serbia, but also of domestic firms).

LearnEnglish may also be interesting for those who are pleased with their English skills but want to learn more about British culture. Visitors to the site can find out more about how people live in Britain, what they listen to and what they eat on the Island, what are the British really like, why they prefer football to basketball and why they do not drive on the right hand – side of the road "like all normal people" do.
