Developing websites is the best way to learn english on Internet

Even if a lot of sites propose to learn english online, I believe that the best way to learn english is to learn Internet languages, such as HTML or PHP.
Actually, every single word on thoses languages are in english. Because, they have been written by amercian persons (like Tim Berners Lee who invented HTML).


PHP is a language which uses english to descibe functions

For instance, HTML markup "head" is used to define the top of your page. On the other hand, in order to learn a dynamic language such as PHP, you need to understand english. Even if the official PHP website is translated in several countries, the main site delivers more information.

If you want to learn good praticies in Web developement, you have to read a lot of english. First, to validate your code, you have to visit the W3C site, which is the World Wide Web Consortium, and there's no equivalent in french.

If you are interested by web usability, or information architecture, then you'll notice that experts are mainly american. Useit.com seems to be one of the most popular source for usability concerns.

The 3 main assets of this method :

• You don't only learn one language but more.
• You learn professionnal english, that you can use with specialists.
• You practice your english without thinking about it, just because you create something with it !
