Title: 4000 essential english words 2, Author: Khushi Ali, Length: 193 pages, Page: 1, Published: 2018-03-30
In 1663 in Germany, the world got its very first magazine. Since then, magazines have been created to cover every topic you can imagine. What if you could learn English while you read about your favorite hobby? English magazines are great for learning English because they are portable (you can carry them around with you), have short articles and are often written in easy-to-understand language. [fluentu-toc] [easyleadbox id="c1df7ffa-62fc-11e7-b540-42901faa16c3"] Magazines for Native English Speakers 1. Mental Floss Perfect if you like: Interesting trivia and facts. What you'll find inside: What does outer space smell like? Why isn’t cat food mouse-flavored? If you're the kind of person who asks yourself these questions, you’ll love Mental Floss. Each issue is full of bite-sized (small bits) trivia and mostly short articles with really interesting facts that you'll want to share with others. The writing is fun and friendly, so it’s easy to understand the answers to the more difficult questions. While the print edition of the magazine stopped publishing in 2016 , you can still read Mental Floss online (use the link above). 2. Fast Company Perfect if you like: Business and learning how successful companies work. What you'll find inside: Fast Company is one of the more approachable (easy-to-read) magazines about business and companies. It has many interviews and features of successful people, as well as general news about interesting new companies. It does use a higher level of writing than is usual for magazines, so give it a try first to make sure you can understand the articles. 3. Reader’s Digest Perfect if you like: Inspiring stories about people. What you'll find inside: Reader's Digest is not actually about books or reading. Instead, it is about people.

Cricket Media Perfect if you like: Excellent literature and short stories for children and teens.

Magazine Activities for Learning English Even if you just read the magazines and enjoy their content, you will be learning new words , sentence structures and common sayings. If you want to take your learning a step further, here are some activities you can do with English magazines that will help you study English actively. You can do these out loud, by writing, through discussion with someone else, or even just silently in your head. Describe the pictures. Most magazines have a lot of pictures. Choose some pictures and describe what you see in them, out loud or in writing. Add speech and thoughts. Are there any people (or animals) in the pictures? Imagine what they would be saying or thinking. Summarize the articles. You can test how well you understood an article by trying to summarize it. Can you describe what the article is about in a sentence or two? If you can't, try reading it again and take care to see the meaning of the whole article instead of the individual words. Discuss the articles. If you read about an event that just happened, or even if you just find something interesting, share it with someone. Have a conversation about it. It will be a great way to practice your understanding of the article and your conversation skills. Ask the author. Sometimes reading an article leaves you with more questions. If you could ask the author anything, what would it be? What else would you want to know about the topic? Diversify your reading practice by watching subtitled videos. If you need something a bit different in your reading practice, you can integrate watching videos with subtitles into your practice. FluentU takes authentic videos—like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talks—and turns them into personalized language learning lessons. You can try FluentU for free for 2 weeks.

Finding the Best English Magazines for Learning Now that you know how to use your magazines, it’s time to choose one (or a few!) from the list. If you decide to subscribe to any of the magazines, you can do so on any of their websites or visit Amazon’s magazine section for Kindle Unlimited to see which ones are available. You can find some of the magazines for a discounted rate at Magazine Line , which is also a great place to search for more English-language magazines by category. Some magazines give discounts for college students. So if you're in university, be sure to check out "Student and Educator Rates" at the bottom of the home page. These magazines are just the beginning of what’s available out there. There are magazines about dogs, golf, people with tattoos and so many other different topics. But remember that you don’t just have to depend on magazines for learning English. If the magazine topics are a bit confusing, or you want to practice other skills besides reading, then take a break and learn English from other content. On top of magazines, you can turn to other types of English media like YouTube , TV series and movies . They, like magazines, can also help you learn English language and culture at once. Plus, one resource can also help you better understand another. For example, if you read about an event in a magazine, then you can find more information about it from videos. With media, such as TV shows , your English learning can become extra exciting. And with so much diverse English material out there, you can definitely find some that match your interests. After all, when you enjoy what you're doing, you'll learn better and faster! [easyleadbox id="c1df7ffa-62fc-11e7-b540-42901faa16c3"] And One More Thing...
