Five (or more) ways to improve your English

 

1) LISTEN 

Films, tv series, YouTube videos, songs...but you can also listen to the radio or to podcasts (while you're doing something else!).

You can find UK radio stations HERE

USA radio stations HERE

These are my favourite podcasts specially designed for English learners: 

FYI - For Your Inglés  

The Show With No Name

The podcaster, Alberto Alonso, is bilingual in English (American) and Spanish, so you'll learn Spanish as well 😉

2) READ 

You can read newspapers, magazines and books. Here are some links:

BBC News

CNN

ABC News (Australia)

The Guardian

You can find a list of recommended BOOKS here.

3) SPEAK

If you don't have a language partner, talk to yourself! Speak in front of a mirror or record yourself...if you find it too crazy (it is not!), you can always think in English (nobody will notice).

You can also start a conversation club with your friends 💬

4) WRITE 

Text your friends, send them an email or, why not, an old-fashioned letter. 

Another idea is to start a diary in English or to write something creative. Have you ever heard about The Imaginary World of... ? Have a look at this video in order to find out how this unconventional book is designed:
