Hello maysa,

LearnEnglish is not a translation site, I'm afraid. We explain aspects of English using English, just as we do in the classroom.

The site (menus and some instructions etc.) can be seen in other languages. Use the drop-down menu at the top the choose from the available languages. Note that the material on each page - the explanations and tasks - remains in English, however.
