Hi there!

Some people were a little bit confused about when to use "that" instead of "who" or "which". While we can of course use "that" when talking about people, animals or things, sometimes it may be better to use the relative pronouns "who" and "which". This video explains why.

Who? That? Which?

Enjoy!

Listening Practice

Listening and understanding English speakers can be difficult. Don't let that frustrate you! Practice makes perfect.

THIS BLOG provides links to several other listening activities for the A2 level as well as grammar and vocabulary practice.

Happy learning!
