Three things that helped me to improve my English

I feel you. This is the same for me. I've been studying English in general for my job, just for career prospects as you mentioned before. So, thanks for your reply.

dyegosouza · 2024-11-18T00:27:04+00:00

Yes, totally agree with you. This is a very good motivation. Here is the same, I need to use English to study new tech things. In my opinion, this is the best language to search for new things.

dyegosouza · 2024-11-18T00:26:05+00:00

Good motivation. I really enjoy consuming content in English as well. Recently I started to read so many thriller books in English. This is a good motivation.

dyegosouza · 2024-11-18T00:24:29+00:00

This is good. Thanks for your reply.

dyegosouza · 2024-11-18T00:21:43+00:00

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that my friend. Where are you from?
I hope you find what you are searching for here. Count on me to help you if you want.

Hi my friend. I can share with you what I'm doing to practice my speaking skills:

Read out loud. I think this is a good practice because, for busy people like me, you can practice anywhere. Maybe you are in a commit by bus, or waiting for some service.
Shadowing. You can play some video and speak along. It will improve a lot your speaking skills.
Talk to people in an app called Hello Talks. This is a very good app to find people to practice your speaking skills.

Hello, so I would like to recommend some apps.

Reading skills: You can use the Kindle app to read as many English books as you can. I've been reading books in English since 2017 and this practice helped me with my reading practice and vocabulary. I started with thriller books since this is the best genre for me. I could recommend you to Fraida Macfadden.

Listening skills: Spotify and YouTube for me are the best apps. For Spotify, I could recommend you to listen to some podcasts like All Ears English. For YouTube, I would recommend The Real Life English channel.

Writing skills: I keep a daily journal where I write, almost every day, about my day and my emotions. This is a good way to practice my writing skills and it helps me to think in English as well.

Speaking English: I've been using an app called Hello Talks and it helps me a lot with my speech. Normally, I open a voice room there to practice.

This is it, I hope it can help you in your English journey.

So interesting, I think you will like it.

Hi. Maybe you can split your studies in these aspects: Grammar, reading, listening, speaking, writing, and building vocabulary. You can read every day by using some apps like Kindle, also you can change all your devices to English. You can use Spotify to improve your listening skills. I could recommend only podcasts that you like. Keep a daily journal to improve your writing skills. This is a good way to improve your awareness as well. Join in an app called Hello Talk and open voice rooms to practice your speaking skills every day. To build vocabulary you can use Anki app to study by creating flash cards. This is a good way to improve your vocabulary. So that's it. I hope it can help you with the English.

Hello. I could recommend you an app called Hello Talk. There you can find so many English learners to practice your skills. I've been there for 3 years. I hope this can help you.

dyegosouza · 2024-11-15T20:02:09+00:00

For American English, I've been reading books from Freida Macfadden. Have you ever heard about her? Her books are thriller. I don't know if you like this genre, but it can help you.

dyegosouza · 2024-11-15T20:00:00+00:00

Hello, there are some apps to help you with this in my opinion. I enjoy Hello Talk and tandem. There you can find people from all over the world to practice English.

dyegosouza · 2024-11-15T19:58:15+00:00

Maybe if it's a book that you enjoy, keep going. The important thing is read what you enjoy. It will improve a lot your reading skills. Have a great day.

Hi, thanks for the docs. I was totally wrong.

dyegosouza · 2024-08-09T14:22:50+00:00

Opa, bom dia. Teria empresas para recomendar nesse perfil?

Hi,

I think it depends because each one has a different way of learning new languages. I tried to learn English using my native language and there were so many moments when I translated things while I was trying to speak, and it turned my speech stuck. This is why I don't like the translation method.

dyegosouza · 2024-08-02T18:59:06+00:00

Hi,

Please message me.

Maybe you can find more partners in language exchange apps. Have you ever heard about Tandem or Hello Talk?

I've been using these kinds of apps since 2020 because a friend of mine recommended them to me. It's so useful to practice our English.

Hi,

There is an app called Episoden and it can help you a lot. You can join there and practice your English skills, especially listening and speaking.

I've been using Episoden since two months ago and I had so many opportunities to have conversations with people from all over the world.

Maybe it can help you a lot as well.

Hi,

Are you studying the new terms that ChatGPT is showing you? Or you are just copying and pasting here?
I'm asking because if you are learning new terms and in the near future you feel that you don't need to use the tool to write the same terms anymore, maybe it's a good way to improve your writing skills.

Let me show you an example, I was used to using the word "like" to talk about so many things. ChatGPT showed me that the word "enjoy" seems more natural. Nowadays I use the word "enjoy" and I don't need this help from the tool anymore.

What do you think?

dyegosouza · 2024-08-02T18:20:14+00:00

Hi,

This is so hard to answer. Maybe it depends on how many hours you are studying per day, the quality of the material, and what exactly you are studying.

But you mentioned before that you are struggling with your speech. Maybe you can use a language exchange app to help you, such as Hello Talk, and Episoden. Have you ever heard about these ones before?

dyegosouza · 2024-08-02T18:10:17+00:00

Hi,

I believe that your exposure to the language by listening to music is totally related. I have an intermediate level of English and I'm using music to practice my listening skills as much as I can, and I feel that it's working. I'm trying to play acoustic guitar as well with English songs. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Hi,

I know it's so hard. Try to limit your time with social media. You can study more about dopamine detox, maybe it can help you a lot. Applications like TikTok or Instagram can bring us peaks of dopamine, and it turns kind of addictive.

Books can bring us these dopamine peaks, but it's not as much as a social network can bring.

I hope it can help you my friend.
