Learn English, One Step at a Time.
English Acertijo started with a simple goal: to make learning English easier, more practical, and enjoyable for everyone.
Every lesson on this website is created by someone who is also learning English every day. This isn’t just a place to study—it’s a place to grow together.
FROM A SIMPLE IDEA TO A LEARNING COMMUNITY
I created English Acertijo because I wanted a place where English could be explained in a simple, practical, and honest way.
As a software developer and English learner, I often found grammar explanations too complicated or vocabulary lists difficult to remember. I wanted something different: lessons that are easy to understand and immediately useful in real life
This website is my learning journal, and I invite you to learn alongside me.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hi, I’m Jefferson.
I’m a software developer with over 12 years of experience, and I’m also an English learner.
I created English Acertijo to document what I learn, organize my knowledge, and help other learners who are on the same journey.
I don’t believe learning English should feel overwhelming. My goal is to explain complex topics in a simple and practical way so that anyone can improve with confidence.
