Learn English with These 7 Tips, Tricks, and Techniques! Jul 30, 2021

Show notes

As an English learner you're probably looking for proven techniques that work when learning English. In this English lesson I'll go over 7 tried and true techniques that are guaranteed to work if you are learning English, but I certainly don't guarantee that you'll enjoy them. Some are boring. Some are hard work. Some are just really challenging.
What they all have in common though is that they've stood the test of time. In this English class I'll talk about: repetition, flashcards, drawing, taking notes, and more!
Each technique, though old, will come with my personal recommendations on how to use the technique well when learning English. In my time as a high school teacher I've seen students use all of these techniques in ways that work well, and also in ways that fail.
In this English lesson I'll share with you the secret of using each technique well!
I hope you enjoy this free English class. Have a great day!

How to Encourage Someone in English Jul 23, 2021

Show notes

Learning how to encourage someone in English is a good thing to do. Anytime you can be a positive person when learning English or in life in general it will make people treat you with kindness in return. In this English lesson I will do two things. I will give you some encouragement and I will teach you how to give others encouragement in English at the same time.
One of my favourite songs begins with this lyric, "Begin the day with a friendly voice..." I leave that as a hint, and you can figure out what song it is. It's an oldie, but a goodie. I think that phrase is very wise. A friendly voice, a word of encouragement, a smile instead of a frown can be a great way to start your day.
So I hope you enjoy this English lesson about encouragement. I hope you feel encouraged, and I hope you were able to learn a little bit of English along the way!
Have a great day!
