About Mr. Ramirez

Mr. Ramirez began creating this online ESL classroom—and continues to build it—because he sees how eager his students are to learn English. He learned English as a second language more than forty years ago, at a time when technology couldn’t make learning fast or convenient. Today, however, we have incredible tools that make learning far more efficient. That’s why he keeps developing new lessons based on what his students need most.

With nearly fifty years of experience as a schoolteacher, and since 2009 teaching ESL only, Mr. Ramirez knows how to make learning fun, easy, and fast. His approach builds the language from the ground up, helping you establish a strong foundation. He believes you can learn enough English for simple conversations in just three months.

Why This Method Works

Many learners find English difficult when they do not understand how learning actually happens. To learn a language, you must practice in ways similar to how you learned your first language. Listen, repeat, and read! By focusing on natural practice—hearing and using English in context—you build understanding and confidence quickly.

On this site, you will find exercises that focus on different aspects of language learning: listening, repeating, speaking, reading, writing, vocabulary, and grammar. Try to understand how a language is learned and recall how you learned your first language. This “natural process” approach is often the fastest and easiest way to progress.
