月曜日11月5日 ~ Monday ideas ~

Robin

1. Study in short doses ~ I have mentioned this before, and I’ll say it again -> it is more effective to study a little each day rather than for several hours just once a week. This also means learning doesn't have to take up a huge chunk of time, as just twenty minutes a day can reap rewards over time. 

2. Be flexible ~ 
Even without lots of time, it is still important to structure a study plan into your schedule and measuring your progress. 

3. Find a study partner
 ~ While it is best to find a native English speaker, you can also practice with a friend during a meal or at break time. Simply agree to only use English.

4. Do your daily tasks in English
 ~ Write your shopping lists, read the news or set your Internet browser home-page to an English language site. A large vocabulary is best built slowly with everyday practice.

5. Make flash-cards ~ 
Write down English words on small note cards and place them around your room. You may want to label things in English or just set them out as a reminder ~ everything helps.

6. Use your downtime to practice
 ~ This can be as easy as listening to CDs in your car, reading an English book during your break or reviewing flash-cards on the bus. A work commute is a particularly good time to study.
