​​5 skills that will help you learn English faster

📚 Rereading your notes

Yes, you don't want to do that, but wait until you flip through this item. The fact is that 10-15 minutes of repeating what you've learned before your next class can save you from days of excruciating cramming before exams. In addition, repeating past material helps you better absorb new material. The brain is a tricky thing - it remembers only the information with which it constantly interacts.

📚 Preparing oral homework at home

Spontaneity in this case is not the best solution. The main thing is to use as many new expressions and appropriate grammar as possible and work on pronunciation.

📚 Use mnemonic techniques

Memorization is not the only or even the most effective way to memorize information. A mountain of mnemonic techniques have been invented for English. For example, highlighting the main things with markers, drawing diagrams and mind maps highlighting parts of words in different colors.

📚 Check pronunciation and meaning of words yourself

Asking a teacher to translate an unfamiliar word is like paying for a very expensive living dictionary. Like hiring a separate person to remind you to put your hat on in the morning.

📚 Recording the teacher's advice

What does an active student do when he or she asks the teacher for the right word during a lesson? Takes notes. Parses out mistakes? Writes it down. Does the teacher correct his pronunciation? Yes, he writes down the correct version.

​​🌎 Internship in Italy

​​If you have decided to study abroad, perhaps the first thing to decide is where to go. Here’re 5 criteria that mightl help you choose the most suitable country for your studies.

💡 The quality of education

It is not always worth to be guided by the rating and prestige of the university - look at the quality of your course/direction, how much a particular diploma is valued. If you have already decided on the direction and profession - choose the countries which are especially good in that sphere: hospitality and tourism - Switzerland, fashion and art - Italy and France, industrial technologies and engineering - Germany and Austria, cinema - USA, ecology and green initiatives - Scandinavian countries.

💡 Costs of study and life in general

It's worth honestly answering the question: can you afford to study in the country you dream of? Among the most expensive are the USA, Switzerland, and Great Britain. If you want to come here, look for scholarships and grants, see what discounts there are, maybe there is an exchange program or campus work. Tthere are plenty of those options!

💡 Admission requirements

Entrance requirements are always available on the official websites of universities. As a rule, the more prestigious the university and the higher the ranking direction (from the top - medicine in Switzerland, for example), the stricter the competition. Just a good certificate will not be enough.
If you want to go straight out of high school, the choice will be much less - such countries and options are few. In other cases you should look for an opportunity to complete the 12th year of secondary education: Pathway, Foundation, IB, etc.

💡 Language of study

If you know only English and do not want to learn the others / do not have time - respectively, the choice is limited to English-speaking countries (or paid programs in European countries). The same applies to other languages - Spanish, French, German.

💡 Climate, culture, traditions and features of the country

Your comfort depends directly on these conditions. If you can't stand the heat - Spain or Portugal will be hard, can't stand winter - and don't look towards northern countries, most of Canada. Big city or a cozy province? What cultures do you like, what traditions appeal to you? You should choose your study destination according to your preferences.

​​Myths about studying abroad

📌 Myth 1

It's too expensive. In fact, you can study for free, for example in the Czech Republic, Italy or Germany. But there are a number of nuances (knowledge of the local language, financial conditions, etc.) that must be taken into account when choosing a country to study in.

📌 Myth 2

I will not pass the exams. In the UK, for example, many universities do not even need to take entrance exams. And in Poland and Latvia entrance tests are at the level of our school program. So you can always find an option where to enter with a diploma

📌 Myth 3

It is impossible to get in without a language certificate. During the pandemic, universities make concessions and allow their students to take online tests, which are almost 3 times cheaper and much easier than "paper" versions of the exams.

📌 Myth 4

Only a few people can get scholarships. There are several types of scholarships: for high achievement in studies, sports, or the arts; when financial aid is needed; for members of particular national or social groups. For example, many universities in Poland, Great Britain, and Canada now offer discounts for citizens of some other countries. So there is always a chance to get higher education at lower prices.
