Phrasal Verbs Online

Another tip for this day is www.usingenglish.com/reference/phrasal-verbs/
This is a wonderful dictionary online, where you can type the verb and the preposition to find what you need. An example is "take over": "the company unveiled its new brand identity “Mahindra Satyam” subsequent to its takeover by the Mahindra Group’s IT arm, Tech Mahindra. This "take over" means to assume control of a company or organisation.
I'm going to add this site to my links, I really enjoyed this!
Remember that phrasal verbs always enrich your vocabulary when writing or speaking. 
Now, that this blog is updated, I can go out on vacation with my mind in peace ;-)

So Lingua Inglesa (site)

 Long time... there have been so many things to do... but, I´m here again and I have a good hint today: http://www.solinguainglesa.com.br
I don´t like recommending sites in Portuguese, but I must admit that some students have difficulties and the best for them is to start learning in their mother language, or if you are already enrolled in a school whose methodology in just English (classes presented in this language), so this site can help you in your first steps. You can take a look at the news, curiosities, lyrics, poems, news reporting, English anthems and so on. Check it out and do your best. It's a way to start, so take a chance!
