Stay motivated throughout the crisis
Free resources online to study English and great learning tips sharing
Since we posted about the stories of our students and teachers looking for the silver lining in the Coronavirus pandemic last week, we received many requests asking about 3D editorial team. This week, our Russian editor, Tatiana decided to share about 2 free online resources great for learning English, an app and a Youtube channel dedicated to help improving your English while staying at home. Read more here.
You might be wondering, who is Tatiana? How long had she been learning English? How is she able to write the English article? Tatiana is from Russia who speaks English as a second language. You see, she doesn’t always write English this way. When we received her first email months ago, she couldn’t structure English sentences correctly and relied heavily on translation for basic English communication.
She enrolled into 3D Academy as an English student in December 2019 for 8 weeks and joined us as editor from March 2020. Throughout the COVID-19 lockdown, she did not stop learning. She started a Youtube Channel sharing Russian movies / songs with English subtitles translated by herself. Subscribe to her channel to support her.
She constantly writes on 3D English blogs to practice her writing. You can read her English articles here and Russian writings here. You will notice her English writing skill improve over time. Like what she said, if you are motivated to learn a foreign language, you will put in good effort and your chance of success increases two folds. Read more here.
Two other 3D editors, Ahmed from Yemen and Kevin from South Korea also believe that the most important factor to keep you studying is motivation. Kevin witnessed some of his friends losing their motivation throughout his one year of language learning journey in Cebu and he decided to share about 6 tips to overcome the self relinquishing crisis.

Pandemic 2020 could be the worst year in our life. Or it could be the best year ever! Let’s view this crisis as a reset button in our life, sit down, think and explore all the possibilities in our lives. “What” and “if” are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together side by side, they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your lives. And if you don’t take any action to execute your dream, the “what-if” will always remain a “what-if” instead of becoming a reality. 3D Academy is partnering with London Online College to bring you various blended learning opportunities for Diploma, Bachelor and Master Degree programs. Let’s learn more about the programs and start exploring all the “what-if’s” in you life here.
Remember, Rome was not built in a day. Patience is a virtue in life. As long as we do not lose hope, we can do anything. Like what Kevin and Ahmed mentioned in their blogs, it is important to find a good support system and constantly draw inspiration from each others. In view of this, 3D team decides to offer a free 1:1 personal goal setting session exclusively for our newsreaders. In this session, we will help you to create your goals in life and share with you on some learning tips or resources available to help you achieving the goals. ~Love, from 3D teachers and editorial team.
