How can I practice English

Here are a bunch of practical ways to practice English—pick 2–3 to do consistently, and you’ll improve fast.

Every day (10–30 minutes)

• Shadowing (5–10 min): Play a short video (news, vlog, TED-Ed). Pause and repeat the sentence copying rhythm + pronunciation.
• Speak out loud (5 min): Describe what you’re doing (“I’m making coffee… I need to reply to an email…”)—sounds simple, works great.
• Micro-journaling (5 min): Write 5–8 sentences about your day. Then rewrite once using simpler/cleaner grammar.

Listening that actually helps

• Use subtitles smartly:
  1. Watch with English subtitles
  2. Rewatch without subtitles
  3. Write down 5 useful phrases
• Choose one topic you like (sports, cooking, tech) so you don’t quit.

Speaking practice (even if you’re shy)

• Record yourself (voice memo): talk for 60 seconds about one topic. Listen once and note 2 things to fix (a word, a tense, pronunciation).
• Conversation exchanges: Language exchange apps/communities can help you speak with real people (short calls or voice messages).

Reading + vocabulary (without memorizing lists)

• Read short stuff daily: news summaries, short stories, Reddit threads, graded readers.
• Learn phrases, not single words:
  Instead of “decision” → “make a decision,” “big decision,” “tough decision.”
• Spaced repetition: Use a flashcard app for sentences you actually want to say.

Writing practice

• Copy + change: Take a short paragraph and rewrite it with your own details.
• Get feedback: Post short texts (5–10 sentences) in a learning community or ask me to correct them.

A simple weekly plan

• Mon/Wed/Fri: 10 min listening + 10 min speaking
• Tue/Thu: 15 min reading + 5 min writing
• Weekend: 30 min movie/video + shadowing

If you tell me your level (beginner / intermediate / advanced) and your goal (speaking, grammar, job interviews, exam, etc.), I’ll make you a tight daily routine and give you practice prompts.
