More way

More ways

Nor way(s)

That’s a bad pun.

Anyways, here are 9 more ways to get better at it, ok?

  1. Interactive Language Games: Use online games and apps specifically designed for language learning, like Scrabble, Boggle, or word puzzle apps in English.

Shebang- That’s a real word!

  1. Themed Vocabulary Building: Focus on learning vocabulary in specific themes or contexts each week, like food, politics, or technology, which can make learning more relevant and interesting.

  2. Watch English content with Dual Subtitles: Watch English movies or TV shows with both English and your native language subtitles. This helps in understanding the context and picking up similar expressions.

Good old Torrent days

  1. Language Learning Diaries: Keep a diary for writing in English. Here you write words, phrases and sentences that you came across while reading, focusing on different aspects of your day or different topics. This can improve both your written skills and vocabulary.

  1. Podcast Transcription Practice: Listen to a short segment of an English podcast and try transcribing it. This improves listening skills and attention to detail in language. My recommendation- Lex Friedman.

    1. Use English in a Hobby: Incorporate English into a hobby you enjoy. For example, if you like cooking, follow English recipes, or if you're into coding, join English-speaking coding forums.

  1. Role-play Scenarios: Practice English by role-playing different scenarios (like shopping, ordering in a restaurant, or job interviews) with a partner.

Aye, Aye captain! (It’s not always this)

  1. Writing Challenges: Participate in writing challenges in English, such as writing short stories, poems, or blogging.

  1. Utilize Language Exchange Apps: Engage in conversation with native speakers through apps designed for language exchange, Spaces on X is the best for this.

Hope that helped, till then Ciao!
