About ESL Difficult
ESL Difficult is for learners who can already communicate well in English and want a tougher challenge. These teacher-written quizzes focus on advanced vocabulary, idioms and the kind of grammar details that can trip up even confident speakers. Each quiz is short and repeatable, so you can practise regularly without feeling overwhelmed.
At this level, progress often comes from precision: choosing the best word for a context, spotting subtle differences in meaning, and recognising formal vs. informal language. Quizzes such as Not a Lot and A Test of Your Skill help you notice small details, while A Funny Old Business and Interesting Experiences build confidence with real-world language.
For the best results, use the quizzes for spaced practice. Try one quiz, check what you missed, then repeat a few days later. That simple routine strengthens memory, improves accuracy and makes advanced English feel more natural in reading, writing and conversation.
