🚀If one of your goals is to improve your English, this episode gives you a clear study method you can actually follow. I share a four-step system that combines reading and listening so you can learn faster and remember more of what you study. You will learn what “comprehensible input” means, how to choose a book that is interesting and a little above your level, and how to use English and your native language together to understand difficult texts. I explain several variations of the method, including ideas for beginners, intermediate learners, and students who only have a short time each day. By the end of the episode, you will have a simple plan you can use every day to build vocabulary, improve listening comprehension, and feel more confident using English in real life. 🔔 Follow us on social media @LearnEnglishPod and visit our website: Podcast website: https://learnenglishpod.com/ Follow us on social Media: https://linktr.ee/learnenglishpod Take lessons with me: https://www.italki.com/en/teacher/8531387 📚Affiliate link for italki: https://www.italki.com/en/i/ref/GBBdbb Affiliate link for Lingq: https://www.lingq.com/?referral=msusc 📜 SOURCES Steve Kaufmann: https://youtube.com/@Thelinguist Stephen Krashen: https://www.sdkrashen.com/ Project Gutenberg: https://www.gutenberg.org/ Faded Page: https://www.fadedpage.com/ Freeditorial: https://freeditorial.com/en 📝 Vocabulary list: 1) Stick to a plan - To continue following a plan without giving up. 2) Get the most out of - To gain maximum benefit from something. 3) Extensive reading - Reading longer texts for enjoyment and overall understanding, rather than focusing on every detail. 4) Copyright-free - Material that is free to use without restrictions on reproduction or distribution. 5) Trade-off - A compromise between two conflicting aspects, such as simplicity and difficulty. 6) Gap - A lack of knowledge or understanding in a particular area. 7) Push yourself - To challenge oneself to do more or better. 8) Reinforcement - Strengthening or supporting something to make it more effective. 9) Figure out - To understand or solve something. 10) Retain - To keep or remember information over time. 11) Skyrocketed - Increased very rapidly. 12) Gibberish - Nonsense words or language.
