ESL BLUE Web Site Review

ESL BLUE is a very useful website for English learners. It offers lessons for learners from pre-intermediate to high-intermediate level English. It calls these levels 1,2,3, meaning pre-intermediate, intermediate and high intermediate respectively.

There are quizzes and activities about adjectives, adverbs, articles, grammar, tenses, reading, verbs and vocabulary. It gives hints when a user makes a mistake about an answer. In my opinion, this is a very useful feature.

One thing I dislike about the site is the design. It could be done more professionally, and in this way, it would be more attractive for users.
