For many in India, English is not their first language. However, that does not really matter. Learning English is not difficult.

Here are 5 simple ways in which you can learn English while staying at home:

    TV. Films. Newspapers. Books. There are so many options to learn English from!

    One of the easiest ways to learn English is to watch English serials and movies. There are subtitles in Hindi as well as English to make it easy for you to learn English.

    The more English content you see and hear, the more comfortable will you feel with the language.

    Remember how we learnt to speak as kids? Nobody really taught us. We just heard and saw people around us speaking in English. Watching English serials and movies is just like that .

    Reading is another great way to know more English words and improve your vocabulary. Pick up an English newspaper or a book and get into the habit of reading.

  2. Make Internet and Apps your Friends

    Whenever you come across any word or phrase you do not know or understand, just search for it. Google will help you out within seconds!

    There are also translation apps and dictionary apps available online to help you speak and write better in English. The app Duolingo for example, helps you translate words and sentences from Hindi to English.

  3. Take up a free English online course

    There are many sites that offer free online English courses. Use them to your full advantage. This site, for example, offers a variety of courses, depending on what you need. All of them are free.

    You can also join discussion forums on your favourite topics online and comment on different articles online. This will help you fine-tune your skills.

  2. Don't get tensed when it is English. Make it fun!

    There are also a lot of gaming apps online, such as online English crosswords. You can download them and play to increase your vocabulary.

    Remember how you learnt to speak when you were a child? By speaking and listening to people around you, reading, watching TV and making mistakes at times. Apply the same logic here. Do not get tensed if you do not know a word or cannot pronounce it properly. With practice, you will know that!

What Is NFT? Everything You Need To Know And How You Can Make Money From It

NFT stands for "non-fungible token." A digital asset that can't be changed or copied is called a "non-fungible token." You can think of these tokens as digital versions of pieces of art from a private collection. Each work of art in the collection is unique and has its own price. Like a piece of art, an NFT can be sold for either crypto or cash. But, just like with bitcoin, the asset transfer for the token is recorded in the blockchain. This shows who the owner of a certain NFT is. NFTs are digital works that have been turned into securities, such as famous videos, paintings, memes, and so on. This tokenized work of art comes with a unique digital ownership certificate that can be sold or bought online. Blockchain technology is what makes them work, just like cryptocurrency. Each NFT is linked to the digital or, in some cases, a physical asset of the original owner. Technically, you can turn any digital object into an NFT. The great thing about NFTs is that anyone can make them out of famous tweets, Facebook posts, Instagram photos, and more and sell them. You might be wondering why people spend so much money on something that can't be seen or touched, like NFTs. You may also be wondering how people make money from NFTs since they are just pictures. We'll talk more about that below. The value of an NFT is based on how interested consumers are in it, just like it is with the works in our made-up art collection. Just like with trading cards, their value is mainly based on how rare they are and how many people want to buy them. Even though an image can be turned into an NFT, there is no rule that says it can't be copied or shared. But the blockchain stores and makes it clear who owns the asset. This makes it impossible to fake who owns NFTs. One of the main things that drive its value is the happy feeling of being the only owner. Most of the time, people make money and increase the value of their NFTs by selling them. You can make money with NFTs if you buy smartly and sell later. For example, buyers can bid on Amitabh Bachchan's NFT collection when it goes up for auction in November. They might be worth more in the future. You can make money with NFTs if you buy and sell them at the right times. You can also make your own digital art, video or audio clips, and music as NFTs and sell them if you are a musician or a beginning painter. If you are planning to invest, NFTs are the current big thing.

Learn About Union Health Secretary Preeti Sudan and Her Role in Planning for the Fight Against COVID-19

There are so many inspiring stories of women at the forefront of the fight against COVID 19. Some have taken the initiative independently and while others have used their position in official government positions. One such shining example is female IAS Officer and recently-retired Union Health Secretary, Preeti Sudan. Between June 2019 and July 2020, she served in her post and her time in the position had to deal with the outbreak of the ongoing pandemic. As part of her responsibilities, she led the way when it came to sharing key information with the entire country about the virus when little was known about it and it was just beginning to spread. Faced with a challenging situation, the ex-Health Secretary shouldered some very important responsibilities and was always leading from the front. Her job was three-pronged. First, she had to create a strategy to tackle the outbreak effectively and in coordination with the Prime Minister's Office to ensure that the unavoidable outbreak of the virus would be contained as effectively as possible while minimizing the damage it would cause across the country. Looking at the number of cases that were reported within the first two months, it was clear that she had successfully dealt with the task at hand. For example, she created the zoning system which helped identify the level of infections within every area in each city. She also created protocols for restricted travel during the early days of the outbreak. As more and more people joined the fight at the forefront against COVID-19, Preeti Sudan was one of the many inspirational women in India who were more than up for the challenge. She comforted the nation at a time when it was a delicate situation as migrant workers were heading back to their hometown and there was a mass exodus of people from bigger cities. Through regular and effective press briefing, she was not only able to give important and necessary updates to the entire country but also ease the fears of the people. Her calm and confident nature saw her deal with common and frequently asked questions comfortably and with positivity. If that is not the definition of a woman warrior, then what is? Finally, she used her position to ensure the containment of the outbreak within as small an area as possible within the states. She was continuously in touch with officers in every state who was in charge of dealing with the outbreak and she was very proactive in ensuring that all the departments were executing their tasks in the best way possible. As the Union Health Secretary, she used her powers to oversee the execution of such tasks personally for every state emerging as one of the key women leaders in our country. She acted as the first and most important point of contact for all disease-related queries that were directed at the government by both, the media and the general public. The former Health Secretary has a very rich educational background. She holds a Master's degree in Economic Philosophy and a doctorate in Economics from the prestigious London School of Economics. Her drive to serve the country saw her rise from the Andhra cadre as one of the early women IAS officers in the country. Her service to the nation saw her serve several positions including Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Defence and a Special Secretary in the Ministry of Women and Child Development. One of her most recent positions was as a Secretary in the Department of Food and Public Distribution. She was also at the forefront of dealing with the Kerala floods in 2019 and her action drew her high praises from all sections of the government. The story of former Health Secretary minister Preeti Sudan proves that the will of women in this country can move mountains.
