How many hours a day do you usually use foreign language after school or after work? Reading a book, watching a movie, listening to music...anything is OK.
5 minutes to speaking English is my goal that i set eveyday. Although 5 minutes is too small for me to use English each day, I can done my target. I always success in the goal. This will help me feel better than when I set the goal too large but only complete the goal within the first few days and feeling depressed right afterwarrd. Sometimes I surpass my goals. For example, I spend 5 minutes speaking English but I feel this topic that is interesting so actually, I talk to my friend almost 3 hours
Usually I try to watch at least 1h hour of drama in foreign languages, those would be at the moment Japanese, Mandarin and/or Japanese. If I do no do that, I try practice writing the characters used in Mandarin and Japanese everyday. Sometimes I write these characters 5 minutes, sometimes 30-40 minutes. I learn the characters by learning the words from the lists of HSK and JLPT.
When I can talk in foreign languages with a person I know I usually do that as much as possible.
These are my studying habits this summer during the university break.
