A couple of days ago I signed up for Open English with the purpose of improve my level of oral EnglishUntil now, the platform has not surprised me in its teaching scheme, nor in the technology used, but if I must emphasize that the live classes are a perfect tool for the English practiceIt also proposes a structured teaching scheme that I hope will help me improve many of the shortcomings I have in universal language.
The Live Open English classes use the adobe technology and in addition to some plugins that are not available natively in Chromium, so in a simple tutorial we will teach use Open English on Linux with Chromium, so you can start learning English in a fun way, from anywhere at any time.
It is important to note that there are various Applications to reinforce English in Archlinux (and other distros), which added to the Offline English and DRAE dictionaries for the terminal They provide us with various opportunities to learn English desde Linux and with free technology, without the need to pay for expensive courses.
Steps to use Open English on Linux with Chromium
The main cause of Open English not work properly in Chromium it is because it does not have active by default flash plugins, that is solved in a simple way by installing Pepper-Flash, which according to the various distros can be installed as follows:
Install Pepper Flash on Ubuntu and derivatives
Open terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt install adobe-flashplugin
This will internally add Pepper Flash, then we just have to restart Chromium
Install Pepper Flash on Arch Linux and derivatives
Installation Adobe Flash Player PPAPI en archlinux It is extremely simple, just run the following command:
yaourt -S pepper-flas h
Install PDF Reader
Then we simply have to install a pdf reading plugin so that Open English recognizes it when it does the system analysis, I recommend that you simply install the Chromium PDF Viewer extension, or failing that (and what Open English recommends) we install adobe reader with the installer corresponding to your distro that we can download from here..
With these simple steps you can enjoy Open English on Linux and remember how important it is to know English in a world where this language predominates in all areas.
Thank you for your information, I personally use Lingoda which gives you a certificate each time you complete a level and which are recognized worldwide and I use it in Linux Mint with the Chrome browser and I have no problem.
Greetings from Mexico.
The RAE offline dictionary has not been available for years. I guess because of copyright issues.
For private English classes you can use the Italki site, without having to commit to monthly payments or be bound by contracts.
I study English through the SENA of Colombia which is free and of high quality
Thanks for the tutorial
I study Esperanto since English discriminates against people by nationality and income. Children learn English after school while English and North Americans study robotics, guess who will know more English and more robotics in 15 years. I do not doubt that it is realistically good to learn English, but in a couple of months they could learn Esperanto to try to give future generations a better future. You can watch Lauren learn it in 6 weeks: http://www.fluentin3months.com/first-non-native/
What is special about Esperanto? It is an international language that nobody speaks ... If I go to ask for a job and I take Esperanto but I don't know English, it is useless because what they want is for people to speak English
Without a doubt, you must study English of course. But it would also be nice to know Esperanto to improve the world for future generations. If there are enough people, just 20%, it would be unstoppable, as Firefox was against Internet Explorer at the time. Esperanto has very good things compared to English: it is 5 to 10 times easier to learn, nobody has an advantage over others because they are from a specific country or have enough family income to have linguistic immersion or go to study abroad. In addition, Esperanto is better as a beginning for languages, such as making certain strokes before learning to write or learn the flute to get started in music, you can see the results of many studies that are cited in Wikipedia: propaedeutic value of Esperanto (see in English, Esperanto and Spanish).
"Children learn English in after-school while English and Americans study robotics, guess who will know more English and more robotics in 15 years"
I know it !!… I know it !!… those who have studied Esperanto. Yes?
If language discrimination and the protection of cultural diversity were taken seriously in the European Union, they could agree with Russia and China (which are sure to support it) to incorporate Esperanto as a second language. If Esperanto were the official language in international communications (EU, UN, trade) instead of English, do not doubt that more Esperanto and more robotics would know children from all over the world EQUALLY, without discrimination by language, income or nationality.
Therefore your answer was wrong and you are suspended until September.
With all due respect, it would be good to sign up for a Spanish course to improve your spelling and grammar.
Accents are missing everywhere.
There are also many grammatical errors.
Otherwise, excellent contribution. Very thankful.
¡Felicidades!
