Improve your foreign language skills using technology

I have been struggling a lot with learning English in the past and the only time when it started getting better is when I embrace the full imerson into the language.
In this video, I want to share my experience and practical tips on learning and practicing the language in the modern digital world.

I forgot one quite important tip - playing video games. Games can have complex language (especially modern ones), but it will be a great experience if you love playing.
Online games like MMORPG can also help you to practice writing and speaking.
Let me know what you think about the video in the comments! ❤

Hello Sir, 👋
My name is Ogechukwu, I'm 32 years old and I'm from Delta State, Nigeria. I came across your UA-cam but I have a problem, I graduated with HND in Civil Engineering from a Nigerian Polytechnic and I really want to know If I stand a chance of securing admission in any of the Universities in the Netherlands?
I'm really worried and I do not know what to do or how to go about it, I just want to know my fate and where I stand with my HND certificate.
I have been running around UA-cam to find a solution but yet to solution until I came across your page and then decided to reach out to you, I'll patiently waiting for your response, thank you very much.

Hello Ogechukwu,
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about universities. I think the best is to just write an email to the specific university or research an official website like www.studyinnl.org.
Here is a webpage of more information about Dutch diplomas in relationship to the Nigerian education system (they have this for each country): www.nuffic.nl/en/education-systems/nigeria.
Usually, Dutch government websites are generally very good at explaining stuff and always reply to emails.
Good luck!
