70 ways to improve your English

Today I decided to start following some 'rules' for improving my English. Every day I will read 5 tips from the list of 70 ways to improve your English and try to do these in my everyday life.

I've just created a new blog where I will write about my life and news in English, as it's suggested in tips #1 and #2.

Other tips for today:

3. Sign up for a regular English tip. Some websites offer a weekly or even daily short English lesson sent to your email account. If your mobile phone has an e-mail address, it is also possible to have the tips sent to your phone to read on the way to work or school. Please note, however, that such services are not usually graded very well to the levels of different students, and they should be used as a little added extra or revision in your English studies rather than as a replacement for something you or your teacher have chosen more carefully as what you need to learn.

Done! Now I will recieve one short lesson each day from About.com.

4. Listen to MP3s. Although buying music on the internet is becoming more popular in many countries, not so many people know that you can download speech radio such as audio books (an actor reading out a novel) and speech radio. Not only is this better practice for your English than listening to English music, from sources like Scientific American, BBC and Australia's ABC Radio it is also free.

There's actually plenty of interesting radio programmes from BBC! I loved it and I'm absolutely going to listen one progamme every night!

5. Listen to English music. Even listening to music while doing something else can help a little for things like getting used to the natural rhythm and tone of English speech, although the more time and attention you give to a song the more you will learn from listening to it again in the future.

English music is my everything so this is already my 'habit' :)
