One useful tip from FluentU is to think in English as much as possible. Instead of translating from your native language try forming ideas directly in English. This helps you become more fluent and natural over time it also reduces hesitation and builds your confidence when speaking or writing.

For example when you’re walking to school or doing homework, try describing what you’re doing in English in your head. It’s a simple way to make thinking in English a daily habit.

FluentU suggests speaking English out loud even if you’re alone. Reading out loud helps you improve pronunciation and rhythm it also trains your brain to get used to hearing your own voice in English. This is a simple habit that can really improve your speaking skills without needing a partner.

Apps like ELSA Speak from the Clapingo article are great for this. They use AI to correct your pronunciation and give you realtime feedback while you speak.

Another great idea from FluentU is to use real-life content, like videos, movies, or songs. Learning with authentic materials keeps you engaged and shows you how English is used naturally. It’s more fun than just reading textbooks, and it helps you understand slang, accents, and cultural expressions.

Memrise is a great app that lets you learn through native speaker videos, so you can hear how English is really spoken.

FluentU also recommends setting small, daily goals. For example, learning five new words a day or practicing speaking for ten minutes. These goals help you stay motivated and track your progress. It’s easier to stay consistent with short tasks than to study for hours once a week.

For example, you can set a timer every day after school to review new vocabulary while having a snack. That way you create a mini routine without stress.

The FutureLearn blog explains that creating a learning routine is very important. You should study at the same time each day to build a habit. Even 15 minutes daily can make a big difference. Regular practice helps your brain absorb English better than irregular, long study sessions.

For example, you can listen to a short podcast in English every morning while brushing your teeth or walking to school.

One key point in the article is to mix your learning methods. Don’t just study grammar practice listening, reading, speaking, and writing. This balanced helps you develop all your language skills. Watching videos, having conversations, and writing short texts all help you learn faster and more effectively.

Apps like Duolingo offer mini activities for all these skills in one place. You can use it during short breaks at school or while waiting for the bus.

As Ricardo said technology can be a powerful tool for learning English the Clapingo blog recommends apps that help improve speaking skills. For example,

Try to use ELSA once a week, join a video call on Clapingo to practice what you’ve learned. Combining tech with real practice makes your progress faster and more fun.

One tip from EF Education First is to learn and use phrases not just individual words. This helps you sound more natural and fluent. For example instead of memorizing “good” and “idea” learn the full phrase “That’s a good idea!” or “I totally agree.”

If you apply this in real life by practicing full phrases you might say at school, like “Can I go to the bathroom?” or “What did we have for homework?” Use these daily at home or with friends. It helps you think and speak in English without translating.
