Make a study group. Meet with other English learners once a week

to study together. Do exercises from your English class together or

try some of the on-line learning websites recommended in this

document.

5. Make an English club. Meet once a week or once a month with

other English language learners. You could have a supper club or a

movie club. You could go to a park, a museum, or just sit and listen

to music together. You could show pictures and talk about your

country. Make sure you speak English most of the time, or if you

can, all of the time! Challenge yourself at the first meeting to speak

only English for 30 minutes, then 60 minutes the next time, then 2

hours the next time.

6. Volunteer. Go to a community centre or your children’s school. Ask

if you can volunteer. You can be helpful and practise English at the

same time.

7. Watch television and movies, listen to the radio and listen to

English music. Relax and try to understand the general meaning

even if you don’t know every word.
