Random Idea English

Random Idea English "is aimed mainly at advanced students of English as a foreign / second language, although it will hopefully also be of some interest to teachers. I intend it to be a mishmash of lessons, exercises and the occasional opinionated rant about the English language."

This is the British Council website, in China. There is a Learners' page, and a teachers' page.
