Last week, I ran a Telegram group for members of my women’s Facebook group. One of the things I asked them was to share their top tips for learning English.

Their suggestions were so good, I thought I’d share them with you too:

• Find your method - find out what works for you.

• Be systematic about your learning and not random. Make a plan or schedule.

• Don’t give up!

• Be consistent. Learn or practise every day.

• Find a safe and supportive space to practise.

• Practise speaking out loud while going about your day. Describe what you’re doing and seeing.

• Try shadowing - find a video, listen and repeat.

• Find a partner to work and practise with.

• Don’t just study! Enjoy English and make it part of your life.

• Read, read, read!

• Read children’s books or read stories you already know from films.

Perhaps you could pick one thing from this list to try.
