Created by an Experienced English Author
Glishio is an interactive website of courses based on books by English teacher and author, John Langridge. It comprises a three-part course of vocabulary exercises taken from his first book, ‘All About Us!’ and a three-part course of grammar exercises from his second book, ‘Grammar Puzzles’. All the exercises on the website are free, and are designed to help learners improve their grammar and vocabulary. They’re the right level for Intermediate (B1) and Upper Intermediate (B2) learners, but learners at other levels are encouraged to try the exercises. Those with less experience of English can spend as much time as they want, and those at more advanced levels can use the exercises to revise their English and become more proficient.
