It won't help with your understanding of Elizabethan Theatre because it was written in the 1990s, for a 1990s audience, and with 1990s morality.

However, there is no divorce document, which means that his marriage to Anne Hathaway would have been bygamous, illegal and offensive to the monarch. He would have been imprisoned. Also, he did not write anything till 1993 when his sonnets were produced. These sonnets are adaptations of sonnets by Christopher Marlowe.

In the beginning of second year in school, during B course I thought classes were easy, so I decided to take the final exam right away, and finished with good results. I also studied English in Malta during the summer of 2000, I went on a language learning exchange, and lived with a Maltese family. We were about 100 students from Sweden and we had classes from Monday to Friday. Everybody had to do an english test on arrival and then we got divided in two groups, common and advanced English, I was placed in the latter. At the end of summer everybody did a final test, which was at an advanced...http://www.englishforums.com/English/AShortDescriptionKnowledgeEnglish-LanguageMe/dqbph/post.htmThu, 15 Feb 2007 18:45:13 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:329722anonymousThis is what the school wants from me: please provide a short description of your English proficiency, including how many years you studied English, where you studied English, and any other experiences that have resulted in English-language fluency.

Also, a lot depends on what particular skills you want to achieve or practise while in an English-speaking country. I myself have never been to Malta but I've been to Canada and Britain. Canada is a very good country for learning English (or French if you are learning French) but in this country a similar problem exists. The thing is Canada is known for its huge number of immigrants. Believe me that not all of them speak perfect English. As for Britain, this is probably the best place for improving your English. Very few people with poor English and lots of people willing to help you if you've got a problem or simply want to talk about something. But...http://www.englishforums.com/English/HasAnyoneMaltaLearningEnglish/dwmdv/post.htm#306172Thu, 21 Dec 2006 21:33:56 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:306172englishuserHi Openmind, it makes much more sense to travel to an 'English speaking' country such as the US or the UK. There you will have plenty of authentic (real life) situations where you can practice and improve your English. Of course, this also depends on the student's English skills. Highly advanced students seldom learn that much in real life situations. For students, whose English is at a near-native or native-like level, I'd recommend academic studies in the field of English literature or Applied English linguistics. Englishuserhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/HasAnyoneMaltaLearningEnglish/dwmdv/post.htm#306152Thu, 21 Dec 2006 20:03:48 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:306152openmindIt all depends on what kind of person you are. If you think you can learn English in an English school, you actually might be better of staying in Hong Kong. Why travel to Malta where you will be sitting in a room with other people who are struggling to build correct English sentences? If you want to meet and mingle with English native speakers it makes much more sense to travel to an 'English speaking' country such as the US or the UK. There you will have plenty of authentic (real life) situations where you can practice and improve your English. Malta is a great place to sunbathe and swim.
