Timelines of Britain

Learning the English language is not only covering grammar and vocabulary. It involves discussing various themes, developing skills and it also entails discovering facts and figures about English speaking countries. If you would like to have more info on Britain (and not only) or if you are simply interested in history per se, I suggest visiting Timelines - a site that offers information on events, videos of some quite remarkable happenings in history and, if you are not so sure about your knowledge of English, there are video transcripts with text available :)

Enjoy intelligent entertainment!
Any comments or questions - don't hesitate to ask :)
