Not sure whether to take the TOEFL or the IELTS? Want to know which of these English proficiency exams is easier? In this video, I explain the key differences between the two exams and make recommendations based on your strengths and weaknesses.
What about TOEIC ?
Please give me more details ?
Thanks !
TOEIC is quite a different exam. It does not test academic English at all, but rather general and business English used in the workplace.
It is much easier than any of the TOEFL or IELTS exams, in terms of level of difficulty in English.
TOIEC is used more as a pre-employment screening test so employers can be assured that a candidate has at least a functional understanding of English required in the business world.
You could learn more about the TOEIC through my website:
Dear Teacher, Hope you are fine there with the best state of your health.Could you please tell me your email address so I can share with you in details about problems we face here while teaching english and how you can be more beneficial for us to promote english language skills. Thanks.
Thank you for all the lessons
Your lessons are great so they hlep us to improve our English,but I have some problems.
1/ In my country people don’t speak English so what I learn every day I Always forget because I don’t use it .
What should I do ?
please answer my question.
I understand your difficulty. Actually, that’s why thousands of students travel to English-speaking countries to improve their English. In that environment, they can make quick progress and save years of English learning.
In the meantime, you need to find a teacher or friend with whom you can practice speaking. That is the only way to make a breakthrough.
You can also listen to English news channels, movies, songs, etc. That will improve your comprehension and vocabulary.
All the best to you. If you decide to come to Canada to improve your English, we would be happy to have you.
Dear madam.. Tel me the way how to get into Canada for learn English at your feet.. I am so glad and keen for that moment.. I hope you will help me out to improve my English knowledge.. thank you
Thank you very much for your acurate lessons……………….if you let make a request, I’d like a lesson about gerunds or the use of ing in differents situations not only when we are talking in the progressive form………..again thank you and I hope you could answer my request

Hello Mam.
Your BEAUTIFUL and so your English is & the way you explain thing to the students like us. I want to appear in IELTS test. I am from Pakistan. How should I improve my english. Please tell me
waiting for your Prompt reply
Mohsin ul haq
Thanks for your comments. You can improve your English in many ways on your own. However, if you want to appear for the IELTS, it’s best to join a good exam preparation class so you can learn a variety of exam strategies.
Please take a look at my website http://www.goodluckielts.com for some useful information, tips, writing samples and so on.
useful lesson for anyone who intend to learn TOEFL or IELTS. However, from my experiences, I think that IELTS is easier than TOEFL at all. Taking IELTS will be familiar with your work or your life. whereas TOEFL need you to get an academic level which I think quite difficult compared to IELTS.
Thanks for passing on your opinion. Actually, there are two IELTS exams – the academic version and the general version. The academic is more challenging, in the reading and writing aspects.
I agree that the TOEFL helps to prepare you for university-level academic life more effectively, because it forces you to use a variety of skills that you will need once you are there.
Which exam is easier really depends on each individual’s background. Which exam is better depends on each person’s future goals.
Hi Rebecca!, I am from Vietnam and now I want to learn to take an IELTS test. My pre-test score was 4.5 and my goal is 6.0. Please give me some advises and guides so that I can perform my plan?!! Thanks you so much!
Please visit my website, goodluckielts.com , for helpful hints, strategies and suggestions.
hi rebecca!, I am from indonesia.
I took the ielts test 4 days ago when in speaking section, I had short spoken with an english man. He asked me a question but at that time I couldnt answer the question as well. I guess, I might not pass the ielts exams.actually the reason why I took the test was to use it to submit to a university because the university requires me to have ielts at least 6.5. could you tell me how to deal and how to improve the speaking and my writing?
You do really need to prepare and practice to do well on each section of the exam. Could you join an exam preparation class there? You can prepare alone for the listening and reading sections, but you really need the feedback of a teacher for the writing and speaking sections. That’s the best advice I can give you.
Other than that, there are specific books aimed at helping you improve your IELTS speaking and writing skills, such as those produced by Cambridge University Press.
Please watch my video on How to Structure Your TOEFL Essay, on this website. It will help you write a great IELTS essay as well.
You can also visit my website, http://www.goodluckielts.com for sample essays, essay topics, speaking hints and more.
You can definitely improve so keep at it! All the best to you.
Dear Ms..
thanks for your practical endeavor. Please tell me how can i give a free ielts test online for practice.
Thanks again.
You could type “free online IELTS test” into google or any other search engine and see what shows up.
Alternatively, you could get hold a good IELTS exam preparation book, such as those produced by Cambridge Univ Press, which have actual exam papers from previous exams. I would trust them more, for you can rehearse with actual exam samples.
hi!teacher!I am a student at university in vietnam.My major is english.you know now i want to get a scholarships because i want to make my parent a pleasure.But my writing skill is’t good so much and I feel very tired when i study it.I should how to do to overcom this subject?!can you give me some advice?thank so much teacher.I hope that I will soon receive from you.
There are many many ways to improve your English writing. Don’t be afraid. Start small.
Try to make writing a part of your daily life, by keeping a small diary, or summarizing the news of the day, or writing about a hobby of yours – anything that interests you. You do need to have a teacher who can correct your work and guide you.
There are also many resources, online and in books, which can help you improve.
For essays, please watch my video on How to Structure Your TOEFL Essay. It will give you some easy strategies to improve your writing quickly.
You can also read through some sample essays on my websites, goodlucktoefl.com and goodluckielts.com.
Make better writing your goal for the year and do lots of practice. In academic life, our grades are based mainly on written assignments and papers so it is worth the effort to improve in this area.

Thanks. Yes. it takes some time to develop our vocabulary and listening skills.
mainly because you helped us (the student) to solve this important question about TOFEL vs IELTS, this is a hot topic for International students.I myself tried to search for an answer and this video help me a lot.
Second since I picked IELTS already (As you said some was asked to) – I was wonder if you can refer me or “Link” me with detail about “test prep” website.I plan to study in Canada and I must MASTER the English as a “tool’ of my success.
best regards
guy
Thanks for your feedback. Please visit my IELTS website for ideas, samples and advice on doing well on the IELTS. All the best to you, Guy.
Thank you very much for all your lessons, your speaking is very clear, I like when teachers explain in that way, so we (students) can understand everything. Thanks!!!
The lessons really helped me to take an overview about the exams and to know all the skills I should have if I want to take one of them.
I’m from Mรฉxico and I would like to travel to Canada and take one of those programs where you can live with a family. If you have a chance, could you please help me to know more about it???
Your video is really helpful. I want to know which version of IELTS i.e (academic or general ) is required to do MS in USA ? OR is it better to take TOEFL ?
Please check with the specific university you are applying to. All the best, Rohit.

I want to improve my pronounciation..sometime people face problem understanding me. So is there any method/book which could improve my pronounciation.
Appreciate your reply.
Thanks.
There are a lot of ESL materials that can help you with your pronunciation. Find a good library and look for materials that come with a CD or DVD as you need to hear what’s right. Check the websites of Oxford, Cambridge and Longman Publishing to check out the materials they offer for Pronunciation. All the best to you, Sunny.
I am Amjad othman from Libya going to Britain to study should I take FCE or ILETS. Please reply.

Please check with the place you intend to study and ask them which exam they accept. After that, get hold of the relevant exam preparation guides and look through them to see which exam seems easier to you.

Hello Rebecca!
I’m from Burma. I am thinking to sit IELTS on coming March but I feel like I’m not ready to sit the exam yet! I really need to practice more in writing skill. I searched in the internet about test 2 writing samples but I haven’t found a good site yet. Could you help me to guide me in that? I couldn’t watch your video because our internet connection in here is so slow…
so… Can i have a script of that video?
Thanks in advance! :)
Sorry we can’t provide the script but you could check my IELTS website for lots of writing and speaking samples and advice on how to do well on the IELTS exam. My best wishes to you, Raven
hello Rebecca,
thank you a lot for your lessons!
please help me, i want to study in canada and i have not a proof language, they ask me to proove by a test , what can i do, for exemple for TOEFL, or other test? and can i pass this test online?
You will need to do the TOEFL or IELTS most likely. Check with the university you are interested in joining to see which exams they accept. Then, join an exam preparation class or get hold of an exam preparation guide so you know what to expect and how to answer the questions to get a high score. You will need a live or online teacher to give you feedback on your speaking and writing. All the best to you, Hobito.
Thank you for everything that you want to help everyone in all over the world to learn English. I think you are very patient and kind hearted. If you were not so you would not help too many people
this is my first time i am watching this engvid website.it is very helpful 4 me.i am a university student. i stil not good in english and i wan improve my engliah communicatioan skill. what s fundamental things i should do to improve my english skill?please help me Ms.rebecca…..thank you so much.
Welcome to engVid! Please read through my replies to various questions here as I have discussed how to improve your speaking, reading, listening, and writing skills. The only way to improve your English is to use it as much as possible, but you must also have someone who is present to check it or correct it. Otherwise, you will develop the habit of saying things in the wrong way. Watch the videos here and online as they can teach you a lot. All the best to you, Lingam.
hi Rebecca thank you so much it was very helpful><
and i would like to ask a bout the IELTS because i applied for an american university and they want as least 5.0 in IELTS and now i already studying English here in Boston and my level is intermediate so how long time i will be ready to get this score in your opinion?
and my friends told me that the TOEFL is little bit harder and i discovered that now in this video
thank you again
best regards
tel.617-229-9356
LOUKMAN SHMBU
I cannot say how long it will take you to prepare because each person learns at a different speed. However, if you are already in Boston, it will help because you are surrounded by English already. Of course, on the IELTS you will hear British accents mostly. The best way to know if you are ready for the IELTS, is to do several practice exams and check your score. Analyze your errors and work on improving your strategy for answering those kinds of questions. All the best, Loukman.
Thank you very much Rebeca. I’m Orlando from Brazil.
I studied English in Canada in 2008, but I feel like I am forgetting the language. This website is very useful to keep learning and not forget it.
I intend to aply for IELTS after wachting your lesson.
Thanks.
hello rebecca,
i do need some help could you tell me how can i enhance my speaking??
thank you…!
Speaking is challenging because it brings together so many skills at one time – grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, listening and so on. There are many ways to improve. Try to join a Conversational English class if possible or find a good private teacher.You could also look for an online teacher or class. For the TOEFL or IELTS exams, complete the speaking practice sections of many exam preparation books. Your speaking will improve when you speak more and can be corrected by someone who knows English well. No other choice! All the best to you.
hi I am a professional chemical engineer.I am going to appear in ielts.Can you send me some important letters and General writing topics if you feel easy.
I want to know about British English and nois of America. Which ones do most of people in the world use in the conversation or writing?
Sorry, my English is bad.
please answer me.
Both are used and you can learn either one without worrying too much. If you are trying to choose, then decide based on where you might be traveling, living, studying or working. All the best Jack.
thank you very much for your effort.
by the way what is the difference between
effort and affort
I’m waiting your answer as soon as possible.
Affort is slang, according to the urban English dictionary, and means an excellent effort. However, it is not used often. I would not use it in regular English as many people might think you are simply making a mistake. I would certainly not use it in any academic exam or paper. You can always use the word effort without any such worry.
Can you tell me how can I speak english well? I know what I must say but I am always shy so my performances are not perfect. And I don’t know how to make listeners believe in what I am talking.
Thanks in advance
Ah you are really good
It would be helpful to work with a private teacher if possible to improve your skills, or to find and English-speaking friend who can correct any mistake you make. Be confident and proud of whatever you know and go forward with a friendly smile. Most people will appreciate the effort you are making to speak well. Take some conversation classes if possible and finally, take a class in English Presentation Skills. It will be scary at first, but you will improve a lot very quickly and gain a lot of confidence in yourself. All the best to you, little robber!
thanks for answering, I will take a class in English Presentation Skills after I finish high school next year and get university. I have some friends in France and of course they speak English. A friend of mine’s mother has passed away and I want to share with him. can you tell me how I can I write to him to encourage him not to be so sad? The most general way in English
Thank’s for your lessons and for this great web site that helps people from all the world to learn english.
By i’m interesting why do Canada immigration programs requires IELTS test which is “british english” test. Why not TOEFL whish is “american” one.
I guess you understand my question. (Sorry for mistakes if i did any)
Good question. I cannot say why they chose this exam. I agree, we do not speak British English here in Canada, or have British accents. Good luck with your English, Nickolay.

Hi Ms Rebecca , This is to certify that after listening two of your videos so far ,I extend my heartiest gratitude for making things so easy regarding TOEFL as well as IELTS. Looking forward to more of you.

Yours sincerely,

Thanks kindly, Shahadat. So glad I could help you. My best wishes to you in the future.
hi mam,
I am jagadeesh from India. Good day, your lessons are quite use full for me in preparation of toefl.I am facing little bit difficulty in listening module of toefl that is i am not able to answer them correctly. Please help me how can i overcome this difficulty.thank you
Thanks. There are many ways to improve your listening skills for the TOEFL. Do as many practice listening exercises as possible. Make sure you know how to take good and fast notes. Use abbreviations and symbols to take notes more quickly. Work on one type of listening exercise at a time, master that and then move on to the other, step by step. For example, start with the campus conversation and move to the academic lecture last, as it is more challenging. Watch American shows, news and movies for recreation to get accustomed to the accent and expressions used. Learn common campus vocabulary, which will help you understand the conversations more easily. Also, familiarize yourself with the different types of questions which appear in the listening section so you know how to answer them. All the best to you, Jagadeesh.
I was just wondering what the English part of Canada requires ? You’re great
Not sure what you mean. To move to Canada, you may be asked to take the IELTS exam. Is that what you mean? However, we do not speak British English in Canada. The Canadian accent is quite neutral and clear, and we use Canadian English, which has elements American & British English, as well as some of its own characteristics. If you are studying, you can learn any type of English and use it all over the world without worrying about the details. Good luck.
Thank you for much for lession for Toefl, so i would like to live in ur country , so plz help me , wt i should do ,, for visa things,, thank you once again
AJ Razik
Thanks. Please contact the Canadian Consulate in your country to find out what is required for Canadian immigration. All the best to you.

please answer me rabeca.
Hi Rebecca. Thanks a lot for all your lessons they are very useful. I want to ask you about GRE test, can you say anything about it? Is it so important or it’s just a formal test for applicants for entering to university? I ask because the math excercise part of the test is easy, but the words in GRE are very difficult and as i suppose they have no logical connection to mathematics.
Hope you will answer in my question.
Thanks in advance.
rebecca thank you for teaching. i would say that i am leaving in country where the english language come in the third place after arabic and frensh, so that make me face some difficulties to practice english, as you know the environment is very interesting to practice the english language. i am a professional accountant and i wish reach an level in english wich allow me to be capable to work using the english language as a language of work.

You have something like my friend,, My english isn’t so good. Thank you!!! Mauritania is a very strange for me and my friend has a very stange voice too

Excuse me, Rebecca. this video was made about 3 years ago, so i’m wondering if the differences between the two tests are still like that or are the any changes? I really want to know, thanks in advance.
Thanks A lottttt Rebecca… i found it easier to understand the differences between them when i watched this vid rather than reading the whole passage about them. :)
now i can easily anser my students’ questions related to this topic. the short description about TOEIC is also helpful for me… however, i wonder if you could also help me to find the differences among them with FCE (First Certificate of English) which is issued by Cambridge Uni *if I’m not mistaken*

What about TOEIC ?
Please give me more details ?
Thanks !
TOEIC is quite a different exam. It does not test academic English at all, but rather general and business English used in the workplace.
It is much easier than any of the TOEFL or IELTS exams, in terms of level of difficulty in English.
TOIEC is used more as a pre-employment screening test so employers can be assured that a candidate has at least a functional understanding of English required in the business world.
You could learn more about the TOEIC through my website:

All the best to you!

Thanks. Miriam. I have been speaking English all my life and that certainly helps!
Thank you for all the lessons
Your lessons are great so they hlep us to improve our English,but I have some problems.
1/ In my country people don’t speak English so what I learn every day I Always forget because I don’t use it .
What should I do ?
please answer my question.
I understand your difficulty. Actually, that’s why thousands of students travel to English-speaking countries to improve their English. In that environment, they can make quick progress and save years of English learning.
In the meantime, you need to find a teacher or friend with whom you can practice speaking. That is the only way to make a breakthrough.
You can also listen to English news channels, movies, songs, etc. That will improve your comprehension and vocabulary.
All the best to you. If you decide to come to Canada to improve your English, we would be happy to have you.
Thank you so much my teacher Rebecca
but how can I come to Canada?
I beg your pardon miss:
you mean you have an english institute? if so what is its name so we can sign up and travel more comfortably!!
please reply
Dear madam.. Tel me the way how to get into Canada for learn English at your feet.. I am so glad and keen for that moment.. I hope you will help me out to improve my English knowledge.. thank you

Hi your video is very useful. As I found you very expert, I would like to ask a question . I dont want to take any of these tests. I just want to speak english fluently in my workplace and I would like to have a vocabulary skill needed for this purpose. there are lots of vocabulary books but I dont know which to read to master simple vocabulary needed for speaking english fluently.I cant read all of the books and I want tow to three books to read and revise constantly
Thanks in advance
I understand your situation. You may find the following books useful:
For general business English:
Business Vocabulary in Use
For specialized areas of business:
http://www.eflbooks.co.uk/book.php?isbn=0582451639
These resources should help. Of course, there are also many websites which can help you improve your command of business English.
Another approach is to look for books which offer TOEIC vocabulary
, as the TOEIC is an exam of English used in the workplace.
I wish you the best with your English studies and your career. From your message, it is clear that your level of English is already high. All the best as you progress to even higher levels.
Hi rebecca Thank you for your guidance.
The last word I want to say is that I am highly interested in American english. The books you suggested to me are written in British( except TOEIC). furthermore, I would like to use informal english not formal.
Could you please introduce some books for this purpose and tell me the name of the most comprehensive books in TOEIC vocab.
Thank you very much for all your useful help.
Hello Mam.
Your BEAUTIFUL and so your English is & the way you explain thing to the students like us. I want to appear in IELTS test. I am from Pakistan. How should I improve my english. Please tell me
waiting for your Prompt reply
Mohsin ul haq
Thanks for your comments. You can improve your English in many ways on your own. However, if you want to appear for the IELTS, it’s best to join a good exam preparation class so you can learn a variety of exam strategies.
Please take a look at my website http://www.goodluckielts.com for some useful information, tips, writing samples and so on.
All the best to you.
I love this website very much,it is really useful!
Many thanks!
useful lesson for anyone who intend to learn TOEFL or IELTS. However, from my experiences, I think that IELTS is easier than TOEFL at all. Taking IELTS will be familiar with your work or your life. whereas TOEFL need you to get an academic level which I think quite difficult compared to IELTS.
Thanks for passing on your opinion. Actually, there are two IELTS exams – the academic version and the general version. The academic is more challenging, in the reading and writing aspects.
I agree that the TOEFL helps to prepare you for university-level academic life more effectively, because it forces you to use a variety of skills that you will need once you are there.
Which exam is easier really depends on each individual’s background. Which exam is better depends on each person’s future goals.
Hi Rebecca!, I am from Vietnam and now I want to learn to take an IELTS test. My pre-test score was 4.5 and my goal is 6.0. Please give me some advises and guides so that I can perform my plan?!! Thanks you so much!
Please visit my website, goodluckielts.com , for helpful hints, strategies and suggestions.
All the best with your exam!
hi rebecca!, I am from indonesia.
I took the ielts test 4 days ago when in speaking section, I had short spoken with an english man. He asked me a question but at that time I couldnt answer the question as well. I guess, I might not pass the ielts exams.actually the reason why I took the test was to use it to submit to a university because the university requires me to have ielts at least 6.5. could you tell me how to deal and how to improve the speaking and my writing?
You do really need to prepare and practice to do well on each section of the exam. Could you join an exam preparation class there? You can prepare alone for the listening and reading sections, but you really need the feedback of a teacher for the writing and speaking sections. That’s the best advice I can give you.
Other than that, there are specific books aimed at helping you improve your IELTS speaking and writing skills, such as those produced by Cambridge University Press.
Please watch my video on How to Structure Your TOEFL Essay, on this website. It will help you write a great IELTS essay as well.
You can also visit my website, http://www.goodluckielts.com for sample essays, essay topics, speaking hints and more.
You can definitely improve so keep at it! All the best to you.
Dear Ms..
thanks for your practical endeavor. Please tell me how can i give a free ielts test online for practice.
Thanks again.
You could type “free online IELTS test” into google or any other search engine and see what shows up.
Alternatively, you could get hold a good IELTS exam preparation book, such as those produced by Cambridge Univ Press, which have actual exam papers from previous exams. I would trust them more, for you can rehearse with actual exam samples.
Thanks for your comments and all the best to you.
hi!teacher!I am a student at university in vietnam.My major is english.you know now i want to get a scholarships because i want to make my parent a pleasure.But my writing skill is’t good so much and I feel very tired when i study it.I should how to do to overcom this subject?!can you give me some advice?thank so much teacher.I hope that I will soon receive from you.
There are many many ways to improve your English writing. Don’t be afraid. Start small.
Try to make writing a part of your daily life, by keeping a small diary, or summarizing the news of the day, or writing about a hobby of yours – anything that interests you. You do need to have a teacher who can correct your work and guide you.
There are also many resources, online and in books, which can help you improve.
For essays, please watch my video on How to Structure Your TOEFL Essay. It will give you some easy strategies to improve your writing quickly.
You can also read through some sample essays on my websites, goodlucktoefl.com and goodluckielts.com.
Make better writing your goal for the year and do lots of practice. In academic life, our grades are based mainly on written assignments and papers so it is worth the effort to improve in this area.
All the best to you.
Thanks a lot:)!

thank you a lot for your lessons!
please help me, i want to study in canada and i have not a proof language, they ask me to proove by a test , what can i do, for exemple for TOEFL, or other test? and can i pass this test online?
You will need to do the TOEFL or IELTS most likely. Check with the university you are interested in joining to see which exams they accept. Then, join an exam preparation class or get hold of an exam preparation guide so you know what to expect and how to answer the questions to get a high score. You will need a live or online teacher to give you feedback on your speaking and writing. All the best to you, Hobito.
Thank you for everything that you want to help everyone in all over the world to learn English. I think you are very patient and kind hearted. If you were not so you would not help too many people
Thanks kindly.
this is my first time i am watching this engvid website.it is very helpful 4 me.i am a university student. i stil not good in english and i wan improve my engliah communicatioan skill. what s fundamental things i should do to improve my english skill?please help me Ms.rebecca…..thank you so much.
Welcome to engVid! Please read through my replies to various questions here as I have discussed how to improve your speaking, reading, listening, and writing skills. The only way to improve your English is to use it as much as possible, but you must also have someone who is present to check it or correct it. Otherwise, you will develop the habit of saying things in the wrong way. Watch the videos here and online as they can teach you a lot. All the best to you, Lingam.
hi Rebecca thank you so much it was very helpful><
and i would like to ask a bout the IELTS because i applied for an american university and they want as least 5.0 in IELTS and now i already studying English here in Boston and my level is intermediate so how long time i will be ready to get this score in your opinion?
and my friends told me that the TOEFL is little bit harder and i discovered that now in this video
thank you again
best regards
tel.617-229-9356
LOUKMAN SHMBU
I cannot say how long it will take you to prepare because each person learns at a different speed. However, if you are already in Boston, it will help because you are surrounded by English already. Of course, on the IELTS you will hear British accents mostly. The best way to know if you are ready for the IELTS, is to do several practice exams and check your score. Analyze your errors and work on improving your strategy for answering those kinds of questions. All the best, Loukman.
thank you very much, i learned lot of thing from your lessons. now i can manage little bit of english.
Good for you! Keep watching and all the best to you, Dhanu.
Thank you very much Rebeca. I’m Orlando from Brazil.
I studied English in Canada in 2008, but I feel like I am forgetting the language. This website is very useful to keep learning and not forget it.
I intend to aply for IELTS after wachting your lesson.
Thanks.
Orlando.
All the best, Orlando.
hello rebecca,
i do need some help could you tell me how can i enhance my speaking??
thank you…!
Speaking is challenging because it brings together so many skills at one time – grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, listening and so on. There are many ways to improve. Try to join a Conversational English class if possible or find a good private teacher.You could also look for an online teacher or class. For the TOEFL or IELTS exams, complete the speaking practice sections of many exam preparation books. Your speaking will improve when you speak more and can be corrected by someone who knows English well. No other choice! All the best to you.
helloo every body…
hi I am a professional chemical engineer.I am going to appear in ielts.Can you send me some important letters and General writing topics if you feel easy.

Please check my site, Good Luck IELTS, for free sample IELTS letters and essays. All the best, Yasir.
I want to know about British English and nois of America. Which ones do most of people in the world use in the conversation or writing?
Sorry, my English is bad.
please answer me.
Both are used and you can learn either one without worrying too much. If you are trying to choose, then decide based on where you might be traveling, living, studying or working. All the best Jack.
thank you very much for your effort.
by the way what is the difference between
effort and affort
I’m waiting your answer as soon as possible.
Affort is slang, according to the urban English dictionary, and means an excellent effort. However, it is not used often. I would not use it in regular English as many people might think you are simply making a mistake. I would certainly not use it in any academic exam or paper. You can always use the word effort without any such worry.
Can you tell me how can I speak english well? I know what I must say but I am always shy so my performances are not perfect. And I don’t know how to make listeners believe in what I am talking.
Thanks in advance
Ah you are really good
It would be helpful to work with a private teacher if possible to improve your skills, or to find and English-speaking friend who can correct any mistake you make. Be confident and proud of whatever you know and go forward with a friendly smile. Most people will appreciate the effort you are making to speak well. Take some conversation classes if possible and finally, take a class in English Presentation Skills. It will be scary at first, but you will improve a lot very quickly and gain a lot of confidence in yourself. All the best to you, little robber!
thanks for answering, I will take a class in English Presentation Skills after I finish high school next year and get university. I have some friends in France and of course they speak English. A friend of mine’s mother has passed away and I want to share with him. can you tell me how I can I write to him to encourage him not to be so sad? The most general way in English
Thank’s for your lessons and for this great web site that helps people from all the world to learn english.
By i’m interesting why do Canada immigration programs requires IELTS test which is “british english” test. Why not TOEFL whish is “american” one.
I guess you understand my question. (Sorry for mistakes if i did any)
Good question. I cannot say why they chose this exam. I agree, we do not speak British English here in Canada, or have British accents. Good luck with your English, Nickolay.
hi , thanks alot for all the information that u passed to us which im sure it will help alot to improve theire english language, just i have some Questions i wann ur e.mail so i can send to u ..many thanks and regards..

Hi Ms Rebecca , This is to certify that after listening two of your videos so far ,I extend my heartiest gratitude for making things so easy regarding TOEFL as well as IELTS. Looking forward to more of you.

hi mam,
I am jagadeesh from India. Good day, your lessons are quite use full for me in preparation of toefl.I am facing little bit difficulty in listening module of toefl that is i am not able to answer them correctly. Please help me how can i overcome this difficulty.thank you
Thanks. There are many ways to improve your listening skills for the TOEFL. Do as many practice listening exercises as possible. Make sure you know how to take good and fast notes. Use abbreviations and symbols to take notes more quickly. Work on one type of listening exercise at a time, master that and then move on to the other, step by step. For example, start with the campus conversation and move to the academic lecture last, as it is more challenging. Watch American shows, news and movies for recreation to get accustomed to the accent and expressions used. Learn common campus vocabulary, which will help you understand the conversations more easily. Also, familiarize yourself with the different types of questions which appear in the listening section so you know how to answer them. All the best to you, Jagadeesh.
Thanks
I was just wondering what the English part of Canada requires ? You’re great
Not sure what you mean. To move to Canada, you may be asked to take the IELTS exam. Is that what you mean? However, we do not speak British English in Canada. The Canadian accent is quite neutral and clear, and we use Canadian English, which has elements American & British English, as well as some of its own characteristics. If you are studying, you can learn any type of English and use it all over the world without worrying about the details. Good luck.
Madam , Robacca ,
Thank you for much for lession for Toefl, so i would like to live in ur country , so plz help me , wt i should do ,, for visa things,, thank you once again

Hi Rebecca. Thanks a lot for all your lessons they are very useful. I want to ask you about GRE test, can you say anything about it? Is it so important or it’s just a formal test for applicants for entering to university? I ask because the math excercise part of the test is easy, but the words in GRE are very difficult and as i suppose they have no logical connection to mathematics.
Hope you will answer in my question.
Thanks in advance.
thank you miss rebbicca

Excellent explanation!Thank you so much!. That’s a useful thing to know.
Thanks A lottttt Rebecca… i found it easier to understand the differences between them when i watched this vid rather than reading the whole passage about them. :)
now i can easily anser my students’ questions related to this topic. the short description about TOEIC is also helpful for me… however, i wonder if you could also help me to find the differences among them with FCE (First Certificate of English) which is issued by Cambridge Uni *if I’m not mistaken*
