Here are 9 tiny habits you can incorporate into your life to improve your English:

📰 Read a short article or paragraph daily. Choose something you enjoy, like news, blog posts or stories, to expose yourself to new vocabulary.

🗒️ Keep a “word bank” notebook. Jot (=write) down interesting words or phrases you hear or read. Review and try to use them in conversations whenever you have a chane.

🎧 Listen to a podcast or song in English for 5–10 minutes. Focus on understanding keywords or phrases rather than every single word.

🗣️ Talk to yourself in English. It is no secret that we all talk to ourselves in our head, so try and do that in English. Narrate what you’re doing, thinking or planning as a quick self-practice.

📲 Set your phone or apps to English. This creates passive learning moments every time you use your device.

📝 Write a one-sentence journal entry. Reflect on your day or describe a thought in English to improve writing fluency.

🧩 Play a vocabulary or language game. You can play boardgames, card games or even use app games like crosswords. These games in English can make learning fun and effortless.

💻 Join an English learning academy or community (*cough* The English Life Academy *cough*). You can engage in weekly classes, chat, ask questions, watch videos and much more whenever you want.

🏷️ Label items around your home in English. Use sticky notes to name things like “door,” “window” or “bookshelf” as constant reminders. Or make it more advanced and write down certain phrasal verbs (for example) to remember them better.
