New Year's Resolutions

With the new year comes new resolutions. The most common ones usually involve exercising and eating. But as English learners there are some new year's resolutions that we can all make. Here are some examples:

• Set some goals for the new year. Is there a test you want to pass? Is there a level you want to reach? Write these things down and refer to them throughout the year to check your progress.
• Find more time to study. Studying English should be done when you are relaxed, so finding the right time to study is very important.
• If you are at a good level, a good resolution could be to watch a television series in English. Watching the same series will help you with your listening and understanding of a specific genre. Pick something that you are interested in and something that isn't too difficult or technical.
• Try to speak English more. A lot of students spend a lot of time studying without speaking. This could be done by self study (reading articles out loud, finding a language exchange, listening and repeating) or by starting an English course.

What other resolutions can you think of? Although you can start doing the above at any time throughout the year, there isn't a better time to start than in the new year.

Happy new year to all of my readers. I hope it's a good year both for English learning and generally.
