Every time you write — you also read.
Every time you speak out loud — even to yourself — you also listen.
These concepts may seem simple, yet they’re really quite profound.
When we find the courage to open our mouths and string words together… when we find the energy to write words on paper… we are both creating and giving ourselves English to consume.
Start your 5 minutes of English today by picking 5 words. Then pick another 5.
Choose words you like. Or words you don’t like. Think of words that delight or confuse you. Words you remember learning or ones you love to say.
Write them down on paper. Perhaps in a notebook. Say them aloud. To yourself. For your SELF.
Choose a question word. A verb. A person, place or thing. An action. A want. A need. A hope. A dream.
Pick some words and make a start.
They are your words. In your English. Created today. Done, until tomorrow.
You’ve checked a box. You’ve begun a practice.
It can be as simple as you want to make it. It’s your game, and you get to make the rules. Celebrate the fact that you did it.
And tomorrow, you’ll get another email, and we’ll do it again!
Until then!
