Boosting determination

Consistency is key; make learning a daily habit. Set small goals, avoid random efforts, and gradually increase your efforts. Keep it enjoyable to stay motivated. Techniques like learning phrases, embracing writing, and talking to yourself help.

Writing is a powerful tool for conversations. If you dislike writing, use technology like typing. Talk to yourself in simple terms; it improves pronunciation and confidence. If you enjoy reading, read familiar content aloud for better pronunciation and facial muscles.

The internet is a great resource for language learners. Explore podcasts and videos; incorporate them into your daily routine for dynamic and enjoyable learning. Consider subscribing for more insightful episodes.

Путешествие по Транссибу

Speaker one: I’ve had many language lessons over the years. My lessons at school were mundane and a waste of time. They involved rote learning which meant we just repeated everything the teacher said, and we had a lot of grammar lessons! However, when I started university, everything changed. The classes were engaging and practical. I remember a grammar lesson about conditionals in my first term. The teacher introduced the language through a funny picture story and included many engaging activities to help us work out the rules for ourselves and practice the language in a meaningful way. Not only was it enjoyable, but it was also effective as I left the class feeling like I’d really learned something.


Speaker two: Honestly, I think my most enjoyable English classes were at primary school. Our teacher, Miss Hinker was wonderful and very musical. She loved singing and taught us new songs all the time. She gave us musical instruments that we could use too. I’ll never forget the time she taught us a new song called ‘There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.’ I must have been around eight at the time. It was a song about a lady who ate many animals, finishing with a horse. It was hilarious. First, she showed us all the actions and then we sang the song many times and played the instruments. We laughed a lot, and I still remember the words to this day. I never wanted those lessons to end.
