Strategy to learn
So what is my strategy to learn English? First thing, before I started, is to consider what is my goal. What do I want to achieve in more specific and measurable way (S.M.A.R.T as some of you may know). My main goal is to speak fluent and sound relaxed on English interviews. So other aspects of language (vocabulary, grammar, phrasal verbs) are important for me just in extent that facilitate my communication. Of course communication without vocabulary doesn’t exists, so it's important to not overestimate pure communication skills.
Back to the things, I decided to spend about 2 hours per day on learning English. First half of hour I read or listen English articles. I mainly choose articles about learning English, motivation in learning languages, etc. Invaluable source of those articles are blogs of polyglots (like Benny Lewis). I write down all vocabulary I don’t know, and add them to AnkiDroid app using google chrome extension. Then I go for a breakfast and have an another coffee. Due to the breakfast I download on AnkiDroid new vocabulary and learn it by rote. Then I spend next half of hour on writing. I had a list of interesting topics, but I used all of them, so now I just write whatever I think about. Then I publish my work on italki and look for some new friends... because next whole hour I’m spending on speaking.
Of course that the ideal plan and it changes in case of different circumstances. I’m using it for about week, I wonder how you rating it. Any comments are welcome, especially tips & tricks about the fastest way to speak advanced English! By the way I'm still looking for language partners to practice speaking, so if you interested, don't hesitate to invite me!
