ly let's talk about them the things I'm going to talk about in this video are

simple

and free and you can start implementing them today these things are what they call Active Learning that's why they are very effective despite being simple. My number one habit, which I am convinced everyone who wants to speak English

fluent

ly should develop, is practicing speaking. My general rule was to practice speaking at least 10 minutes a day, so believe it or not, but Simply, like many of you, I also didn't have anyone to practice my English with for a long time, but I knew that to improve my speaking I needed to talk, so I made a rule that it didn't matter what I did. practice my speaking at least 10 minutes a day at least 10, but the more the merrier, the things I did the

most

and my favorite ways to work on my speaking skills on my own involved following, of course, tongue twisters and looking for videos specifically to practice oral expression. on YouTube and actually doing what was suggested in those videos, this could be a video on how to pronounce words or I'm sure you know that Rachel from Rachel's English posts videos where she breaks down scenes from movies and TV shows, it's basically the same thing . follow up and I actually do video dialogues on this channel to help others improve their speaking by basically engaging in a dialogue with me.

You can see them by clicking somewhere here or you can find them in the description box and you know it's free. If you need to fit this into your busy life, you can also use apps to practice your conversation or, honestly, anything that gets you speaking English regularly. If for some reason you find it difficult to do Shadow, you don't like apps and you hate tongue twisters, then I suggest you try reading aloud. The point here is to get used to speaking in English because it can be quite tiring if the muscles of your face, your mouth, your tongue and your brain are not accustomed to this discovery. 10 minutes a day is not difficult to practice. you're talking using, say, my suggested videos, but the difference it will make will be significant.

Habit number two is to work on your listening skills. Okay, you won't want to skip this one if you ever plan to communicate with native speakers. Unfortunately, in real life, last year I met a lot of people who came to the US and they told me that they couldn't speak English well, which is totally understandable, but that they could understand English perfectly well, but when they actually they needed it. Talk to real people in real life and deal with everyday things that they couldn't because they couldn't understand half of what they were hearing, so you don't want to waste time and you don't want to underestimate working on your listening skills.

When you come to an English speaking country, unfortunately there is no magic that happens suddenly, you still need to sit down and work on your English and I promise you that it is not that difficult to develop your listening skills and bring them to a very good level where you won't have many problems to understand real-life English, so start today and start watching a show or TV series that you really enjoy and that you have already watched in your native language. This is much easier than you think. You may not understand everything in the future. first try, but the thing about TV series is that you can watch them over and over again and this is usually exactly what people do and the more you watch (and by watching I mean work on your English listening) the more you will start I understand listening to podcasts in English while commuting or while traveling, you still have nothing better to do during this time, so instead of wasting it, take advantage of it by writing in English, it's so simple but so powerful that I travel by hand in my notebooks , but mostly I just write on my laptop.

I already talked about this. No hurry. No one has to see what you are writing, but it gives you time to develop your thoughts, write them in a better way, and find the right words. and this exercise, let's call it, allows you to remember everything easier and better, and you can use free resources to review your grammar like grammatically in terms of improving your vocabulary. I also have a really good way that I used and I'll let you do it. decide if it is simple or not when I was writing obviously I noticed that I lacked vocabulary to express myself and I used the same words over and over again so I wrote everything I wrote with mistakes and repetitive words just to put my thoughts on paper and out of my mind. head, those who write know that sometimes you get so tuned in that you just need to continue writing without interruptions, otherwise you just lose your train of thought, so I would revise it by making corrections and finding better synonyms.

For the words I used, it takes some time, but it is actually not boring, on the contrary, it is captivating because you can see how simply expressed thoughts take a new and more sophisticated form and over time it became very evident that my vocabulary had improved. I know a lot of people like to write new words and of course you can do what works for you. I also did this for the first time, but I finally understood that it is much more effective to use these words when speaking and writing. If you write a new word on its own, I would use it in a sentence, but I admit it may not be that simple, this has to be the most valuable habit I have developed repetition, whatever you do, whatever you learn, you need to get back to it. that and review it and sometimes more than once to memorize the information and consolidate your knowledge, especially when you like to write things down, if you are a visual learner, review your notes.

I, for example, would repeat lines, words and sentences by following many times. and I mean a lot, I would repeat the same thing over and over again until I had it memorized and when my goal was to perfect my pronunciation and improve my speaking, I would repeat it and work on it until I could say it effortlessly very often. I see how people simply want to complete some courses or programs as quickly as possible just to get that certificate or diploma. But ultimately that role means nothing if you can't go out into the world and communicate with people or, very often, when I work with people and correct their pronunciation or grammar, they wouldn't even repeat that after me, not to mention that they took the time and perfected it, so they just nod their heads and I actually need to tell them no, no, no, you actually need to say it, repeat it. and you know what will happen next time when they need to say the same thing, that's right, nothing they forget because once is not enough, you need to make time to work on specific things, take that sound, that word or sentence and practice the Damn be!

Master quality over quantity, eventually everything will add up and you will notice a big jump in your progress. I know this can be boring, but for love, be patient, give it time, how much depends on each person. be learning fast and someone slowly, honestly without being able to speak a language you can't say you master a language so I would just choose to work on my speaking and listening above all else if I had limited time to study and I would be tedious and diligent In this regard, another thing is to set realistic goals and have commitment, you must commit to your routine and remember that quality is more important than quantity and please understand that for most people they are fluent in one language. in a year it's impossible so don't focus on the time but on the process and the things you do well and also when I was thinking about the things that

helped

me a lot but weren't too difficult to do but were still very cash.

I remember posting on some social media in English also helped me a lot. There is something about being exposed to the public. You feel responsible and you don't want to embarrass yourself either, so you sit down and think through your post. checking your grammar using ABS is also a good idea and is usually easy, you just need to find the one that works for you and it's good that most apps have a trial period per post. I mean, I'd start by posting some photos. and tell the story behind the photos or simply share my thoughts in English.
