When life gets busy, regular language classes are not always possible. Self-study resources let you learn anytime, anywhere and at your own pace.
Each week, I choose a trending medical story or clinical case and turn it into a language lesson. You will learn key vocabulary and grammar and practise your reading skills, moving closer to understanding original papers in English.
Learning with medical news helps you grow your Medical English while keeping up with current developments in medicine. And because medicine is constantly evolving, you will always have a fresh story to work with.
My news-based learning is designed for busy health professionals and medical students who want flexibility without losing focus. You decide when, what and how you learn.
Learn on your own schedule (access self-study lessons anytime and study at your own pace)
Choose what interests you most (explore topics inspired by real medical news and case stories, keeping your learning relevant and engaging)
Study within your budget (pick a plan that suits your goals: start for free, and upgrade whenever you are ready for more).

A: Yes, this is exactly the problem news-based learning solves. Traditional learning often fails because words are studied in isolation, without context. When you learn words in isolation, they lack context, making them hard to recall. By learning through real medical stories, you see vocabulary and grammar used together naturally. This context helps you understand and, most importantly, remember the right words when you need to speak or write.
Consider turning key vocabulary and grammar practice activities from your lesson into flashcards, paper or digital.
If you go for digital flash cards, pick an app with spaced repetition. This is a method that schedules reviews at the specific time to lock words into your long-term memory, making studying more efficient.
For pre-intermediate learners, do not worry if the texts feel challenging at first, this is completely normal! If you need to, feel free to use translation tools. This is not cheating; it is a smart learning strategy. Language experts call this 'translanguaging': using all your language skills to understand, remember and use English better.
