How to Build a Daily English Practice Routine (That Actually Works!)

-
Image
  Set a Realistic Time Goal Consistency beats intensity. It’s better to study 15 minutes every day than to cram once a week for 2 hours. Try This: - Morning: 5 minutes of vocabulary flashcards - Afternoon: Listen to an English podcast or song - Evening: Write 3–5 sentences in a journal Choose the Right Materials for Your Level Don’t start with Shakespeare if you’re still mastering the basics. Use materials that are just a bit challenging — enough to keep you learning without feeling frustrated. Great Resources: - A1–B1: Duolingo, BBC Learning English, ESLfast.com - B2–C1: TED Talks, The English We Speak (BBC), graded novels - All Levels: YouTube channels like English Addict, Speak English With Mr. Steve, or EnglishClass101 Practice Listening Every Day Listening is the secret sauce for fluency.

Let’s Talk About Learning English and How You Can Improve

-
Image
           Hi, dear students! I know that learning English isn’t always easy—but it is possible when you have the right mindset and daily habits. I always tell my learners, “It’s not about being perfect—it’s about making progress.” So today, I want to share some simple but powerful tips that can help you improve step by step.           First, try to surround yourself with English every day. Listen to English songs you enjoy, watch movies or series with subtitles, and follow English-speaking creators online. Even small things—like changing your phone’s language to English—can help you feel more comfortable with new words and phrases. The more you hear the language, the more natural it becomes.           Next, don’t be shy when it comes to speaking. I know many of you feel nervous about making mistakes, but that’s how we learn. Practice speaking out loud—maybe with a friend, a teacher, or even by ...

Building Confidence in English: Strategies That Work

-
 Learning English can feel like an uphill battle, especially for shy learners who hesitate to speak for fear of making mistakes. For these students, confidence is the key to unlocking their potential. As teachers, our role is to nurture that confidence with strategies that make learners feel supported, motivated, and ready to thrive. Techniques like scaffolding, positive reinforcement, and role-playing have proven to be game-changers. These methods not only make lessons more engaging but also empower students to overcome their fears. Let’s explore how these approaches can transform language learning and build a stronger foundation for success. Scaffolding: Building Step by Step Think of scaffolding as constructing a staircase to fluency—one step at a time. By breaking lessons into manageable chunks and offering guidance along the way, teachers can help learners feel secure as they tackle challenges.

My Journey

-

  Hello! I’m Sharmaine Calimlim , though many call me ShamSham . I was born and raised in the warm and lively city of Urdaneta, Pangasinan , in the northern Philippines. My story is one of growth, discovery, and finding my true calling. From childhood dreams to college lessons, from a new life in America to coming back home to Baguio City—this is the journey that led me to where I am today: a passionate online English teacher, filled with purpose and joy. Growing Up in Urdaneta City, Pangasinan Life in Urdaneta was simple but full of color. I grew up in a close-knit family where values like hard work, humility, and kindness were taught early. I was the type of child who loved to talk, laugh, and ask questions. I enjoyed books, music, and spending time with my loved ones. That love for learning and connection would later become key in my journey. Education was always important in our family. After graduating from high school, I pursued a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting . Numbers and...

Mistakes English Learners Make (and How to Avoid Them)

-
 Learning English can be challenging, especially when you're trying to navigate its many rules and exceptions. Even the most experienced learners make mistakes, but the key is knowing how to avoid them. Here are some common errors that English learners make, along with tips on how to avoid them: 1. Mixing Up “Make” and “Do” A common mistake is using “make” and “do” interchangeably. Make is used for creating or producing something (e.g., I make dinner ). Do refers to actions or tasks (e.g., I do my homework ). How to Avoid It: Memorize common phrases like “make a decision” or “do the dishes” to get a feel for which verb to use. 2. Confusing Prepositions Prepositions like in , on , and at can be tricky. For example, we say in the car but on the bus . How to Avoid It: Practice with specific examples and learn phrases rather than just individual words (e.g., at the airport , on the way ). 3. Incorrect Word Order in Questions Many learners forget to invert the subject and auxiliar...
