Hello, my loves. Welcome back to Go Natural English.
If you're having a busy week, then keep watching because I'm going to show you five ways to improve your English in five minutes or less, so this is perfect for you if you are a busy, busy person, which I know you are very smart and busy.
So first of all, you can choose an article to read in five minutes.
Some of the shorter, faster, easier articles I recommend come from voiceofamerica .com.
You can also find some shorter articles on other websites, maybe the BBC, CNN.
New York Times tends to be longer, so I would save that for when you want a more focused, longer study session.
I would also recommend a blog post at gonaturalenglish .com.
You can improve your English while you're reading about how to improve your English.
Pay attention to any new vocabulary words.
You may want to write them down for future review.
Doing these simple five -minute English tasks may not seem like a way to significantly improve your English, but over time, when you do these things consistently every day, you will improve.
You will see a difference, so it's much better to do these five -minute routines than nothing at all.
What I mean is you could even add these ideas to your existing routine.
So while you're eating lunch, you could watch a video on YouTube like this one.
You could choose a video about English learning or just about a topic that you're interested in, but make sure it's not too long, because we're focused on five minutes here.
Just try to understand the main idea and also note any new vocabulary or expressions.
Another idea is to practice your pronunciation.
Try thinking of a few words that you find difficult, challenging, maybe even embarrassing to pronounce, and look them up on a reputable online audio dictionary site so you can listen to how they're correctly pronounced and then practice them.
You could even record yourself using a smartphone or other recording device to check how you sound compared to the online audio dictionary.
In five minutes, you can easily review some advanced grammar rules.
Check out YouTube videos from Go Natural English or other channels that talk about advanced tenses that you might want to review, such as the present perfect tense or conditional tenses or any tense that you've been struggling with or not feeling super confident about.
You could look for grammar cheat sheets online.
Googling them and looking for images may give you some great worksheets to fill out, and then practice using the grammar with a few sentences of your own.
In five minutes, you can create vocabulary flashcards.
Use a site like Anki, A -N -K -I, or simply use good old -fashioned flashcards, index cards, paper.
You can create these how you prefer, but this will help you to review vocabulary.
And if you're not sure what vocabulary to put on the cards, use a site like a vocabulary word of the day site, or you can search Google for academic vocabulary words to see if there are some new ones that might help you improve your English level.
So there you have it, five ideas to improve your English in five minutes.
You can do one of these each day of the week.
Do them all depending on your schedule.
You could do them all in one day within half an hour.
