IMMERSE YOURSELF IN ENGLISH FOR ONE DAY
Immerse yourself in English for one whole day each week if possible. Listen to songs, watch movies and have a conversation with yourself as you do things, for example say to yourself: Now I am going outside and then I am going to walk to the bus stop. As you walk, describe the things you see: There is a cute dog , what a lovely coat, that tree has beautiful cherry blossoms, doesn't it? You can also keep a diary or post your thought in Notebook at the top of this page. Try this with a friend just for fun. Go to a cafe and talk in English the whole time.
