Class is only a few hours a day. But English fluency happens 24/7. Here is how ELS teachers say you should use your free time:

Music: Listen to English songs and look up the lyrics
Social Media: Follow English content creators
TV: Watch US shows with English subtitles, then no subtitles
News: Read headlines from CNN, NPR or local papers daily
Conversation: Talk to your international classmates IN English, not your native language

Bonus tip: Keep a vocabulary notebook. Write 5 new words every day.
