💞Learn English Confidentiality💞


1. Listen and repeat 

We all have a favorite movie, television show or even YouTube channel. But instead of just watching them silently, listen carefully to what the characters or hosts are saying and repeat the dialogue that interests you. Go ahead and pause, rewind and listen to the lines several times if you must. Or better yet, turn on the English subtitles setting to help you identify each word. This is a fun way of practicing both your listening and speaking skills with materials that are both enjoyable and entertaining. 

2. Find a friend 

It’s always difficult to practice by yourself, especially when it comes to improving your speaking skills. Therefore, find a likeminded group of friends or classmates who shares your goal of becoming more confident in using English. Get together and implement the “English Only” rule while you hang out, meaning that everyone must only speak English for the next hour or two. With such a support system, you’ll feel more secured to open up and speak English without being hampered by insecurities. 



3. Read out loud 

Whether you prefer a novel or a piece of non-fiction text, spend at least 30 minutes every day reading, and then another 30 minutes reading out loud. This is a great way of developing your reading skills while practicing pronunciation as well as intonation of various words and lengths of sentences. If you are unsure of how to pronounce a specific word, simply consult a learner’s dictionary, Google or YouTube. But don’t get too caught up on the details of every single word you don’t understand. The point of this exercise is to enhance your confidence in speaking, and reading out loud allows you to practice pronunciation in the privacy and comfort of your own home/room.  

4. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes 

Remember: it’s okay to make mistakes. If you find yourself stumbling across long or complicated words, simply stop and give yourself a few seconds to breathe, then continue speaking. The fact that you’re communicating in a language that is not your mother tongue is reason enough for your to be proud of your accomplishments. 
As with every difficult task, the key to speaking English with confidence is to practice, practice and practice some more. Be consistent in your language journey and make sure to set aside some time every day to speak English!

Question ppl ask me often

How can I improve my writing skills?

Here is my reply


Improving your writing skills is a valuable endeavor that can benefit you in many areas of life. Here are several strategies you can use to become a better writer:

1. Read Regularly:
- Diverse Materials: Read a variety of genres, including fiction, non-fiction, journalism, and academic papers. This exposes you to different styles and vocabularies.
- Analyzing: Pay attention to how authors construct sentences, develop ideas, and build arguments. Reflect on what makes their writing effective or ineffective.

2. Write Daily:
- Journaling: Keep a daily journal to practice writing regularly. It doesn’t have to be formal; the goal is to make writing a habit.
- Prompts: Use writing prompts to challenge yourself and spark creativity. Websites and books often offer daily prompts.

3. Learn the Basics:
- Grammar and Syntax: Brush up on grammar and syntax rules. Resources like "The Elements of Style" by Strunk and White can be very useful.
- Vocabulary: Expand your vocabulary through reading and using tools like a thesaurus.

4. Seek Feedback:
- Peer Review: Share your writing with friends, colleagues, or writing groups to get constructive feedback.
- Professional Feedback: Consider hiring a writing coach or taking a writing course.

5. Revise and Edit:
- Multiple Drafts: Don’t be afraid to write multiple drafts. Revision is a crucial part of the writing process.
- Editing: Learn to edit your work critically. Look for clarity, coherence, conciseness, and correctness.

6. Study Writing Techniques:
- Workshops and Courses: Enroll in writing workshops or online courses. Websites like Coursera, Udemy, and edX offer courses on various aspects of writing.
- Books on Writing: Read books about writing, such as "On Writing" by Stephen King or "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott.

7. Practice Different Styles:
- Genres: Experiment with different genres (e.g., poetry, essays, short stories, technical writing) to find your strengths and preferences.
- Perspectives: Write from different perspectives and in various voices to develop versatility.

8. Use Writing Tools:
- Software: Use tools like Grammarly, Hemingway Editor, or ProWritingAid to help with grammar and style.
- Outlining: Use outlining tools to organize your thoughts before you start writing.

9. Stay Motivated:
- Set Goals: Set specific, achievable writing goals (e.g., write 500 words a day, complete a short story in a month).
- Celebrate Progress: Acknowledge and celebrate your progress to stay motivated.

10. Read Aloud:
- Hearing Your Writing: Reading your work aloud can help you catch errors and awkward phrasing that you might miss when reading silently.

Improving your writing skills is a continuous process, and persistence is key. By integrating these strategies into your routine, you'll gradually become a more confident and effective writer.

📌 Had better

✅ Synonym: Should


💠 Examples:

📖 You had better discuss this issue with Bruno.

📖 It’s five o’clock. I’d better go now before the traffic gets too bad.
