English is the "mother tongue" of the world so it must be learned both for work and for practical sense. It is not that you need to know it fluently, but at least the basics, the most important words and above all grammar should be studied at least.
Although it may be more difficult, today it is not necessarily necessary to pay for an English course or prepare for an exam with a private teacher because the web offers all the tools to learn this language, for us, a foreigner.
There are tons of websites that allow you to learn English grammar using different approaches.
In this post we see some interactive sites with which you can study written English through quizzes and educational games, not boring and very productive.
1) Road To Grammar is a quiz site that teaches English grammar, ideal for preparing the TOEFL, ESL or other equivalent exams.
You choose a topic among those available (365, one for each day of the year) and then the application, made of flash slides, offers a series of questions for selection.
The quiz can also be downloaded as a PDF file to answer from a computer or tablet offline.
Each question is accompanied by a caption explaining the grammatical rules, providing examples in a simple way.
There is also a games section, for practicing English without getting bored or too tired.
Teachers can also download educational material from the download section.
2) Nspeak.com is an Italian site for learning English grammar.
If you really have difficulty reading in English, you can study grammar in Italian on this website which is almost a synthetic school book.
The site is divided into sections to study the bases, verbs, nouns, adjectives, pronouns, adverbs, articles.
On nSpeak there is also a video section with English grammar lessons.
3) Afterthedeadline is an extension for Google Chrome and Firefox that allows you to correct written English when writing an email.
It is more powerful than the spelling checker integrated in browsers because it also verifies compliance with the rules of grammar and offers suggestions for improving English.
Afterthedeadline is also available as a plugin for WordPress (if you want to write a blog in English) and for OpenOffice.
4) Ufottoleprotto is a site for children, to learn English through funny animated comics.
5) On the Italian Englishgratis site there is an English grammar manual and a series of interactive exercises with sentences to complete.
