Fifth week

 

Hi everyone,

The days have passed so quickly! I have completed 64.5% of the course, and I feel that I am no longer stuck on the English plateau. I am improving more each day.
I can clearly see now that it is possible to balance English studies, a PhD, and work while still 

improving consistently. Dedicating around 12 hours per week to English has been enough to noticeably increase my skills.

All the strategies I have been using have helped me strengthen my target skills: speaking and listening.

Now I have been thinking about how to improve my listening, because I feel that something is missing, but I still don't know what it is yet. Lol.

Another week completed!
