In this episode, you're going to learn all about the three options available to you as an English learner and which option will help you reach fluency fast. Be sure to get my book here: https://www.tofluency.com/5-step-plan/ Here is the platform I recommend for one-to-one lessons (affiliate link): https://go.italki.com/tofluency The three options are to: 1. Take lessons at a language school or one-to-one 2. Go to an English-speaking country to take an immersion course 3. Learn English on your own I highly recommend making option three your focus. You need massive input in order to understand English speakers - this is something you can do by using your phone and headphones no matter where you live. You can add English lessons and immersion courses to help you improve. But make your self-study the foundation on which you build. Thank you for listening!
