2014 - How I have improved my English (Part 1) A review of my learning English Thanks for reading me :) Well..I started my year plenty of good feelings, wanting improving my english even though I had kind of a low level. I've always appreciate this language but strangely I've always been a bad pupil at school haha.. What am I saying ? there is one class I really took seriously. That was in high school first year, I got a great English teacher, she wasn't that strict but she had this ability to attract our attention. Unfortunaly, She got pregnant and we changed the teacher, and I started being inattentive over the next years. Indeed I wasn't event able to do a sentence whether in my mind or in writing. I always had to think about it for several minutes until something comes out fluently. So back in 2014, I decided to manage myselft to improve it! Basically my plan was to learn common words and expressions, all linked words used all days. First I tried grammar books, daily a few exercises for 3 month, that really helped me to understand and communicate with more ease. Nevertheless I wanted more. So I decided to turn my environment into an english one. Each word I wanted to learn was writen on "post it" do that I can review them everytime. I did it for all basic stuff in my house, One post it for the wardrobe, one for the smoke detector and so on.. Then I add YouTube videos obviously about grammar and Eng subtiltled from the start. "Eng-Vid" a channel really funny with prefessors teaching in a funny way, (looked like my 1st year high school teacher) is the one I've most watched. After one month I was able to watch it without subtitles. Then I started watching TED Talks, A.J Hoge vidéos and more. But I started becoming lazy after having watching bunch of videos about "english". So I decided to find something that could appeal to me, that's how I discovered How I met your mother, one the best series I've ever seen. I've watched the whole 9 seasons in 1 month ( totally addicted). Of course my Italki partners helped me so much to progress even if they didn't nocited it. The fact to exchange helps to think with more ease directly in English. I read a lot of "child" child books to stay in touch with what I was learning, I saw again expression I learnt. I believe having various inputs such I videos but also reading can make the difference. Today I'm more confident, I'm used to train in the university path with this mobile application named "Duolinguo" Also I practice with foreign people in a coffee.

Unfortunaly Unfortunately, she got became pregnant and as a result,  we were taught by someone else changed the teacher, and so I started being inattentive over for the next years.

Indeed, I wasn't even able to do formulate a sentence whether in my mind or on paper in writing. I always had to think about it for several minutes before  until something comes came out fluently.

So back in 2014, I decided to teach  manage myself English   in order to improve my skills it! Basically, my plan was to learn common words, and expressions, and all linked words. used all days.

Basically, my plan was to learn common words, and expressions, and all link / linking ed words which are used daily. all days. First I tried grammar books, daily a few exercises daily for 3 months; that really helped me to understand and communicate with more ease. Nevertheless, I wanted more. So, I decided to turn my environment into an English one. Each word that I wanted to learn was writen on a "post it", by doing that, I can could review them at any time everytime. I did it for all basic stuff in my house; one post it for the wardrobe, one for the smoke detector and so on..

Then I added YouTube videos, obviously, about grammar and with English subtiltlesd from the start. "Eng-Vid" is a channel that is very really funny, with professors teaching in a funny way; '' I looked ked like my 1st year high school teacher'', was is the one the one that I 've mostly watched. After one month, I was able to watch it without subtitles. Then, I started watching TED Talks, A.J Hoge vidéos and more.
