My way for improving in English Recently I have listened a video on Youtube from my Italki teacher Joseph. His tips for self study english student were very simpe and pragmatic : First half an hour talking or shadowing, then half an hour writing. Because I trust him I decided to follow his advice and share here some of my struggles in order to get advanced one day, hopefully. Usually I get up early in the morning / at 5.30 a.m / and spend half an hour listening some randomly chosen TED talks video and shadowing as good I can. Then for the next 15 min. I try to enrich my vocabulary with some of the new words and frazes I encounter in the last talks. So here is my routine when it comes to English. I would be glad if somebody see something helpful for their own purpose. I am open as well to hear any of yours " colleague" experience.

My way for improving in English (My method for improving my English)

Recently I (delete have)  listened   to a video (I would say "watched a video") on Youtube from (by instead of from) my Italki teacher, Joseph. His tips for self studying english students were very simple and pragmatic : First half an hour of talking or shadowing, then (use either "and then" or  "followed by") half an hour of writing. Because I trust him, I decided to follow his advice and share here some of my struggles in order to get advanced one day, hopefully (to someday get to/be at/achieve/reach an advanced level (hopefully is not necessary here) Usually I get up early in the morning / at 5.30 a.m / and spend half an hour listening to some randomly chosen TED talks video and shadowing them as good  well as I can. Then for the next 15 min. I try to enrich my vocabulary with some of the new words and phrases that I encountered in the last talks. So here this/that is my routine when it comes to learning  English. I would be glad if somebody else sees something helpful here for their own purposes. I am also open as well to hearing any of yours " colleague" experiences from fellow language learners about their experiences.


Excellent!  I can see you are really pushing your limits.

My way to improve in English

Recently I have watched a video on Youtube from my Italki teacher, Joseph. His tips for self study for the English student were very simple and pragmatic : first half hour talking or shadowing, then half hour writing. Because I trust him I decided to follow his advice and share here some of my struggles in order to become advanced one day, hopefully. Usually I get up at 5.30 a.m and spend half an hour listening to some randomly chosen TED talks video and shadowing as good I can. Then for the next 15 min. I try to enrich my vocabulary with some of the new words and sentences I met in the last talks. So here is my routine when it comes to English. I would be glad if somebody sees something helpful in it for their own purpose. I am open, as well, to hear any of your own experiences.

Very well written!

I am having a similar experience with Spanish. I can write and listen okay but I can not speak well at all. Every day I write something, read out loud and try to shadow something. It seems to be working.
