Tuesday tip for English learners

It’s good to practise all four skills – speaking, listening, reading and writing.

Don’t avoid the one which you like less than the others. Instead, find a way to make it more enjoyable.

For example, if you don’t like reading books, read websites or social media posts instead. If you don’t like listening because it’s hard, find something easier to listen to.

And definitely don’t avoid the one that scares you. The more you avoid it, the scarier it will become.

A lot of learners avoid speaking and I understand that they are nervous. But try talking to yourself or find another learner to practise with, and the fear will gradually go away.

Do you practise all four skills or are there any which you avoid?
