Learning English as a Second Language (ESL)
Welcome to ESLDesk.com, a free site for English learners. Not being a native English speaker myself, I
started this page a long time ago (in 1997) as an ESL bookmark page, and it's kind of grown from there.
I do hope you will find vocabulary, grammar, spelling, reading and other resources on this site to be helpful in learning English
and I look forward to seeing you here quite often :)
