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.

Share this with your study buddy!

Whew...it's the end of the session already! It's been a great session, but we're headed into quiz and test time now. Here are a few tips: *1* Get plenty of sleep the night before *2* Do something relaxing before the test *3* Don't cram...try to study over the next few days instead of just the night before.

Good luck everyone!
