Let's start with immersion Think of it like dipping yourself into an English-speaking world every day

Like jumping into a pool except this time you don't need swimming lessons just your phone and maybe a Netflix account

Exactly Change your phone's language to English It's a simple trick but it forces you to think in English every time you pick up your phone

For instance while scrolling Instagram switch to following accounts that post content in English You'd be surprised how much you can learn while looking at memes

You can create two accounts one for entertainment only and one for learning things

Good recommendation Gwen Also watching your favorite shows in English can feel like having fun while learning Studies even say that listening to how people really talk helps your brain understand the language better

In simple words the more you hear English in real situations the easier it gets to use it yourself

Here's a tip Choose shows you really enjoy like a comedy drama or even a reality show It makes learning fun and keeps you interested

Right If it feels boring you won't want to keep going

We've been talking about tips to improve your English but let's focus on the most important one speaking every day

That's right You can learn vocabulary grammar and even watch videos but without speaking you won't truly communicate naturally And the best part you don't need a partner to practice with right away

Oh so I don't need to find a speaking buddy right this second

Yes

But seriously I find it super helpful to talk to myself We can start by speaking to your reflection in the mirror

That works But on a more serious note one of the best things you can do is record yourself speaking then play it back to check your pronunciation

Or you could find a language partner through apps like Hello Talk or Tandem In the beginning just send voice messages and texts and gradually build up your conversation skills

Yep And here's an interesting study by EF International Speaking just 15 minutes every day can significantly improve your fluency and confidence So don't overthink it

Just speak even if it's just talking to yourself in the mirror or your reflection The important part is doing it regularly

Ah besides here is the factor that some of you may ignore The fact that vocabulary plays a really significant role in learning English We have to learn it not only in a passive way but also in an active way

Can you explain more Gwen

Sure Passive learning is when you see or hear new words but you're not really using them yourself It helps with understanding but it's not enough

So active learning on the other hand means using the words in real situations right

You got it right Speaking them writing them or even practicing in conversations To make it easier try focusing on the most common words and phrases used in daily life

Let me take an example for our listeners The key is to focus on practical vocabulary words and phrases that you actually use in everyday situations

For example can you help me or how much is this

And it helps to learn phrases not just individual words For example instead of just happy learn phrases like feeling happy or makes me happy The more you use the words the easier they stick

So it's all about using the words actively

right Let's take a break and learn some new phrases today You can take your own example on each phrase to understand it more

Yes it is also a chance for you to learn English actively like what we've shared before

Okay The first phrase of today is it just clicked Something suddenly made sense or became clear after being confusing.We might try to solve something for hours and then it just clicked

It's such an amazing phrase Next we have become second nature Something you can do easily without thinking about it.After practicing for a few months speaking English became second nature
