Some tips to learn English

 

Hi guys,
We have just started but you have probably noticed that if you want to be successful this year it is important to organize yourselves. Here you have some simple tips that will help you to improve your English.

Set small, achievable goals (establece pequeñas metas)

Start with small steps to reach higher targets.

1. For example, try to learn 5 new English vocabulary items every day. (Aprende 5 nuevas palabras cada día )
2. Set a 30 minutes study session every day.
3. Learn the lyrics of an English song every now and then. (aprende la letra de una canción de vez en cuando)
4. Read a short English text every day. (Lee algo en Inglés cada día)

Setting small targets is much better than setting huge goals that you cannot achieve. Remember that "small drops of water make the mighty ocean"

Plan your studies

Planning your studies gives meaning to your work. If you know all the steps necessary to achieve a goal and these steps are written down on a piece of paper, it will be easy for you, then, to see the whole picture.

Be motivated (Motívate, lee algo que te guste, ve una película de tus actores favoritos...)

The secret to success is that you should be motivated to learn. Try to avoid boredom by having fun in what you do. Try to find a positive aspect to studying English.

1. Read about what you are interested (hobbies, fields of interest...) in English.
2. Watch your favourite films in English
3. Listen to your favourite English songs and learn the lyrics.
4. Write your diary in English.
5. Read about your favorite stars in English websites...

Remember, we learn better and fast things we really want to learn.

Manage your time (Administra el tiempo)

In order to manage your time successfully, having an awareness of what your goals are will assist you in prioritizing your activities. Time management provides you with the opportunity to create a schedule that works for you, not for others. This personal attention gives you the flexibility to include the things that are most important to you.

Set a reward for yourself ( Premiate al terminar de estudiar)

Set a reward for yourself that you can look forward. For example, when you reach a goal, give yourself a reward:

1. Watch a movie.
2. A delicious snack.
3. Meet your friends.
4. Go to the café.
