I've noticed a lot of people use English TV shows to get a better understanding of the language. Have you tried this? What shows really helped you? I saw that a Korean rapper called Namjoon learnt to speak English by watching the show 'Friends' over and over!

Sometimes we get so busy that we forget to appreciate the little things. Today I was really cold in my house and my little brother gave me a hot water bottle and it really made me happy! What have you smiled about today?

Hi all :-)

I've recently updated the lesson plans on my profile to include "A conversation with Ally" where I will be offering you the chance to practice English speaking and listening in an hour long conversation. If anyone is interested in this or would like to know more, you can message me. I believe that having more and more conversations with an English native will help you be more confident in your understanding and the conversations you have with others will flow more naturally.

I hope to hear from you soon!

When you learn a new language there is always one or two things that really stand out for you or that help you understand something so much better. What were these things for you?
