Best Christmas Gifts for English Learners

With Christmas just around the corner, many people are scrambling to find the perfect gift for their loved ones this holiday season. But what’s something original you can get them? Something they’ll actually use and appreciate? Well, in this article, we’ll give you a list of perfect gift ideas for loved ones who are learning English. From gifts that will help them expand their vocabulary to others that will allow them to practice English through play.

Learn English through play

One of the best ways to practice your English is by playing games. With this in mind, an English word game makes a great Christmas gift idea for someone learning English. Some games focus on spelling, such as those that require players to spell words using individual blocks on a board. Other games give people a chance to test their vocabulary, with keywords that a person must use to guess a selected word. Games like these are also a great way to bring the whole family together, as they’re a fantastic way to practice teamwork. Since the holidays are for sharing special moments, why not incorporate a gift like this into the program for your next family gathering?

A gift for the bookworm

For English learners who love to read, a great book makes the perfect gift. You might want to make sure you choose one that covers a topic they’re interested in. For example, perhaps your loved one enjoys cooking. Get them a cookbook written in English. Or maybe they’re big fans of a certain celebrity. You could get them an autobiography written by that person. Novels are also excellent choices, especially for people with active imaginations.

Another option is an English textbook so your loved one can practice their English more on their own time. Some textbooks are specifically designed for exams, making them a great gift idea for people preparing for an English proficiency test. Other textbooks focus on different skills, such as reading and writing. Educational gifts like these will definitely help your loved ones improve their English.

Practice English on the go

People who are constantly on the go, meaning they’re constantly changing locations, might not have the time or space to carry around a game or a whole English book. However, one thing they always have with them is their phone. A subscription to an English learning app is a great way to support their English language learning journey in a way that fits their active lifestyle. After all, they can always log into the app and complete different English activities during their short breaks. Whether they’re on the train or waiting in line while running an errand, a gift like this will allow them to practice their English anytime, anywhere. Thoughtful, isn’t it?

A thoughtful gift that doesn’t cost much

It’s also important to remember that what makes a gift truly special is never how much money it costs. It’s the thought and intention behind the present. In fact, often, your presence is the best gift you can give someone. This holiday season, remember that your time is a gift in itself. Plan a date night with a loved one, where you speak in English. Have a meaningful conversation about life, or about the past year, in the language you’re both learning, and make a simple moment special. Prepare a special dinner at home and take turns talking about your day in English. You can even join free English classes from EBC TEFL (www.ebcteflcourse.com) which is EBC Idiomas’ sister company. These classes are free for English language students because they can be students of English teachers working towards their EBC Trinity CertTESOL certification. Remember, when it comes to gifts, it’s the thought that counts.
