Can you repeat please, I do'nt understand

I have found a website which offers free English lesson on line the funny thing is that it seems to be a German site… On this website, there is a lot of way to learning English for example, by testing your knowledge or with a chat room to practice. I think it is an interesting way to teach real English and not just the famous “my tailor is rich”… Moreover, they offer some quizzes to improve our British culture. To me, this kind of approach is at the same time effective and diverting. The problem with this kind of method is that you learn an academic language which is different from the current one.To me, the best way is practice and Internet is the best place for it. Indeed, a lot of sites are in English and you can find Podcast or movies in VO, chatting with natives’ English speaker and learn a lot. I’m used to watch movies and soap in VO and often twice: the first time with subtitles and the second time without. According to me, French people have a big problem with foreign languages because they are accustomed to the translation. A lot of idiomatic sentences are lost in translation
