2. Write essays

A great opportunity to tighten your tongue. Write short essays on any topic that interests you. Start by describing your hobbies, family, friends, favorite movies, or childhood stories. While writing, use a dictionary or online translators to remember forgotten words or learn new words. Each time, your vocabulary will grow.

Writing a short essay of 7-10 sentences will take you about 20 minutes.

3. Listen to audiobooks

Ideal for those who spend a lot of time in transport or get to work on foot. You just insert headphones into your ears and kill two birds with one stone: not boring, and useful. Start with simple children's books that are familiar to you from childhood. You will be surprised to hear them in English. This will help you memorize new words and better listen to fluent English.

4. Learn irregular verbs

Print out a table with irregular verbs (which do not obey the rules of the English language) and divide them into groups of five words. Take on a new top five every day. Have a free minute - just read them out loud. And so several times a day, like medicines: in the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening before meals.

5. Use mobile apps

There are many useful programs for iOS and Android that will help you learn new words, grammar rules, improve pronunciation and generally strengthen your knowledge base.

10 minutes a day, while relaxing on the couch after a working day - and the result will not be long in coming.

Now let's count: 1 hour every day is 365 hours a year. If you devote so much time to learning the language, it will definitely not go unnoticed. And you are guaranteed to get off the ground!
