Here you have my personal tips to learn English (could work with your target language too) in a more effective way. Some of them may be too obvious:
Watch series and movies in English with English subtitles until you're prepared enough to understand almost everything without them. You will acquire many grammar structures without consciously learning them.
Focus on fluency rather than on accuracy.
Follow English-speakers on your social media.
Read in English things that genuinely interest you so that the learning gets more meaningful.
Avoid memorising words without context.
Don't rely on translations too much, try to guess the meaning from the context. Think in English.
Read the lyrics while listening to an English song.
Quizlet is a great app to make flashcards and study vocabulary. However, instead of creating them with translations, do it with definitions and pictures.
Change your phone language to English.
When you're learning new vocabulary or structures, write down examples related to your life.
Write a diary in English.
And maybe the most important one: don't be afraid to talk, to communicate, to make mistakes. Don't worry about your accent. Forget about what other people may think about you. Keep trying and keep improving.
The semester is almost over and now i have more time on my hands to read :”) which is great bcs i missed it, and its my favourite me time activity. How is everyone doing these days? <3
at home for the remainder of the semester!
pro tip for small (shared) bedrooms with no desk space: a nice lap desk is heaven sent 🌟
i hope you’re all doing well!
I love lectures that remind me why i wanted to be a psychology major in the first place.
so online classes it is
If you hadn't guessed already, I love light& shadows.
So, today was a really productive day. I studied for more than 4 hours in a row, without considering the lectures that I had in the morning, there's my forest at the end of the post, it helps me to feel productive when I see the trees, someone else feels the same way?. Also, I started a future learn course about dementia today and I'm super excited about it. A miracle happened today, I had a psychoanalysis group test in which for the first time this semester my group help me to answer instead of being mute on the breakroom. In the other hand I didn't sleep too much last night but who cares, I'm proud of myself.
I hope every one of you is safe and have a nice day💫
me @ myself
for all studyblrs out there, you don’t have to be neat in order to be productive
A virtual hug because real ones are no-nos right now.
Stay safe and well everyone 💛
