INGLES CON OXFORD

Oxford has just developed a ‘skill’ called inglés con Oxford, the first official skill by Oxford University Press launched in Spain to improve your English. It consists of five-minute episodes and it is updated daily from Monday to Friday. Each one of these episodes cover a different area (e.g. in a restaurant, giving advice, what's the weather like...). In each one of them you are given vocabulary, grammar and useful expressions.

To activate the skill you need to have an amazon account and Alexa installed on your device.

Amazon Alexa, known simply as Alexa, is a virtual assistant developed by Amazon.
It is capable of voice interaction, music playback, making to-do lists, setting alarms, streaming podcasts, playing audiobooks, and providing weather, traffic, sports, and other real-time information, such as news. Users are able to extend the Alexa capabilities by installing "skills" (additional functionality developed by third-party vendors, in other settings more commonly called apps such as weather programs and audio features).

You can download Alexa from the Google Play Store if you are an Android user or from the iTunes Store if you are an iOS user.

To start the skill once you have already installed Alexa and activated it for your device (Amazon will send a code to your mobile) you only have to open Alexa and say the words:

"Alexa, abre inglés con Oxford" 

Once the episode finishes, if you want to listen to another episode, you only have to say:

"Alexa, siguiente"

and if you want to listen to it again, say:

"Alexa, repite el último episodio"


Both, Alexa and inglés con Oxford are free! And the skill is intended for intermediate-level users so, what are you waiting for to improve your English? These are the links you need:
