Have you ever done an Ironman Race?

4 Things You Can Learn for Your English:

Take it one step at a time: If you are learning English, don’t focus on everything you need to do to reach your goal. Focus on the next, smallest action that you can take. You will see that over time the little steps add up to the full goal. Keep it moving.

Make a small deposit into the “training bank” each day: For English learners, if you work on your English every day for 15 minutes and you make that deposit into your account, you will be able to withdraw from that account when you get into a conversation situation. Practice creates confidence. Luck does not create confidence.

Go it alone: Even if you don’t know other people who are learning English you can do it on your own. You can find information and programs online to support you. Maybe your friends are still learning in a traditional way. You can “go it alone” by being a more proactive learner and learning in your own way.
