Some tips on learning English

• Study vocabulary and learn new words every day
• Pay attention to the teacher and work in class

• Listen to English songs and try to learn and understand the lyrics, then sing it back

• Watch films in English at least once a month

• Read graded readers, magazines, newspapers in English

• Study at least 30 minutes every day

• Do your homework every day

• Visit an English speaking forum

• Do some minutes listening practice every day

• Read texts aloud, record yourself and play it back later, how does it sound?

• Take an active part in role plays or drama activities
