April 22nd is Earth Day. I'm celebrating by gathering all of my favorite Reading Lab stories into one Earth Day collection. These stories talk about the seasons, climate change, joining a gardening club, an amazing butterfly sanctuary I visited in Arizona, and more!

The Listening Lab has been updated to include conversation practice questions for every lesson! Practice speaking about the lesson and it's vocab with a tutor, a friend, or in the lesson discussion chat.

Reading is one of the most effective ways to build vocabulary, experience grammar in use, and get comfortable with how English is actually used. To make that kind of input easier to find, I’m introducing a new Book Reviews column here on EWT. To kick things off, you'll find mini-reviews for seven of my favorite books that I read last year, in no particular order.

The more exposure you get to the language, the better your brain will memorize it and process it. To aid in that immersion are new YouTube Playlists curated by me, Thomas, with videos I actually watch on a daily basis.

Sending a big, warm welcome to all of my French, Turkish, and Mandarin-speaking students as your languages are now available for in-site navigation!

Navigating the site is now available in Japanese! Japanese joins Spanish and Portuguese in the available languages here on English with Thomas.

I've been hard at work redesigning the all-new Reading and Listening Labs that are loaded with free english practice lessons. These new labs are a major improvement over their original iterations. I'm so excited for you all to try them out!

Exciting news! The English with Thomas website has now been translated into Spanish and Portuguese. All educational content is still in English, but our Spanish and Portuguese speakers can now navigate the website more easily in their native languages.
