.

In order to successfully learn English, it is importantthat you:○ Practice English every day. A little practice every day
is better than a lot of practice on only a few days.

○ Make weekly English goals. These should be specific,
such as “I will learn 20 new words.” Write down yourgoals and record your progress.
It is also important to decide what, when, where, andhow you will study.

My English Practice Plan
EnglishConnect courses come with a plan to help
you practice English 10+ hours every week and keep
track of your practice time. Use this plan to record thehours you spend practicing and to track your progress. My English Practice Plan suggests several ways
you can practice.
○ Practice and listen to spoken English by attendingclass each week.
○ Complete the Invitation to Act included at the endof each EnglishConnect lesson. This gives you an
opportunity to apply what you have learned in class.
○ Review and practice the vocabulary from eachlesson. Practice writing the words as well as sayingthem.
○ Practice the homework vocabulary at the back of
the manual. The homework vocabulary is an expansion of the lesson vocabulary.

vi

○ Practice the conversation from the lesson with apartner or by yourself.
○ Preview the vocabulary for the next class. This prepares you for what you will be learning.
○ Duolingo is a resource available for free for both
Android and Apple users. Visit the corresponding
app stores. Please note that Duolingo uses yourcellular data, so you might want to use it when
you are connected to WiFi on your handheld

Pronunciation Principle: Linking and Reducing Words
In English, people put stress on the important words in a phrase. This means they make parts of some words longer
and louder than the other words in the sentence. They say the other words very quickly and they sound shorter.
What about you? What do you like to do?
What does she like to do?
