The 5 essential skills to master English

  1. Maximum Motivation: Motivation is that strong coffee that energizes us, making us feel ready to climb Everest! So, if you're lacking spirit, here's a secret: contrary to the common belief that motivation and focus should come before action, often, it's the other way around. They appear on their own after simply starting something. It's almost magical!
  2. Total Immersion: Imagine immersion as the fresh air, trees and rocks on your mountainous route to English! Not only does it give you a break, but it also surrounds you in a world as real and tangible as the mountain itself, helping you remember each word and phrase for the long term. It is as if each tree teaches you a new word and each rock will show you a new expression.
  3. Practice, Practice, Practice: How do you achieve fluency? Practicing, of course! Imagine each practice as another step on your path to fluency. The more you practice, the more automatic your language skills become, as if you were on autopilot but in 'super-learner' mode.
  4. Conscious Reflection: At the end of the day, it's time to pause and look at the path we've travelled. Have we made progress? Have we gotten a little lost? It's okay, reflection is like our internal GPS, essential to know if we are going in the right direction.
  5. Steel Perseverance: Hey, the mountain doesn't climb itself! Perseverance is that safety rope that keeps us glued to the mountain, even when it seems like we are going to slip. And if you come across an accent that sounds like Chinese, don't give up. Take it as an opportunity to fine-tune your ear!
