Six everyday habits for improving your English
One of the best ways to learn a language is to make it a part of your daily life and you need to do this by forming habits. Some of the following habits are really enjoyable.
I. Perform guided meditation in English.
Guided meditation is great for relieving stress levels and anxiety and makes you feel more connected with yourself. In addition, doing it in the language you are learning can offer many benefits.
There are three recommendations for great Youtube channels that offer guided meditation:
1. Caroline McCready (British accent)
2. The Mindful Movement (American accent)
3. Michael Sealey (Australian accent)
II. Keep yourself inspired and motivated
Discovering other people’s language learning journeys is very helpful and interesting when you are actively learning a new language. You should do it with other non-native English speakers who have reached a level of English that you also want to reach. You can learn so much from their experience.
If every day you can make it a habit to listen to at least one motivating and inspiring learning journey story, you’ll pick up a lot of knowledge and insight, and you’ll feel much more confident about your own learning process and journey.
III. Take a lesson every day
Nowadays, many people spend much time doing nothing at home, but you can take advantage of this extra spare time to take a proper English class with a native-speaking qualified teacher every day.
IV. Work out in English
You can watch English fitness videos or when you get into walking and running, you can listen to audio books in English.
V. Multitask
There are many things you can do while listening to audiobooks or radio programmes, podcasts or anything you want to listen to in English.
There are many opportunities that add an audio element into your daily life and if you do it every day, you can improve your pronunciation, vocabulary and additional knowledge.
VI. Participate and discuss
You can join forums that are relevant to you or places you can have genuine written conversations about topics that interest you. Writing every day is great for improving your spelling, vocabulary and writing skills. And there are a lot of people that are willing to take the time to help non-native speakers correct their mistakes.
You can improve your reading skills and absorb new vocabulary by reading in forums where people post their problems and other people respond.
