The Biggest Misconception about Learning a Language “I need to spend three or four hours a day studying in order to make any progress in a language.”
A Little Math 15 min./day X 6 days/wk. = 1.5 hrs./week X 52 weeks = If you study 20 minutes per day, six days a week, in one year that’s 104 hours of English!!! 1.5 hrs 78 Hours!!
Where does the time come from? waiting for class to start waiting for your friend waiting for the bus, elevator, red light… going to school eating a meal before bed taking a shower
Do something you LIKE in English!!! Listen to music. Watch a movie or TV show. Read something you’re interested in. Surf the internet. Play a video game.
