How To Keep Improving Your English at Higher Levels
A simple way to do it
Do you feel the way you use English is good but not as good as you’d like it to be? Does it feel like you’re not making as much progress as you used to?
The same happened to me.
When I got to a high level of English, everything slowed down and it felt like I was not advancing anymore.
Yes, I could communicate quite well and make myself understood. Yes, I could participate in conversations and understand others, native speakers included. But I wasn’t 100% happy about the way I used English. There was still something I hadn’t mastered that made me think that my English was somehow incomplete.
Sound familiar?
Maybe you’d like to use more idiomatic language instead of always using the same old words, or it might be that you can’t build sophisticated sentences. Perhaps you can’t come up with the most accurate word when having a conversation and get stuck.
For me, my Italian accent and relatively limited repertoire of expressions were the two main things that kept me awake at night.
I wish I’d known this little formula:
further progress = specific problem + focused practice
