School\u2019s out, the sun is shining, and routines are changing. But just because you’re taking a break from lessons doesn\u2019t mean your English has to take a break too\u2014especially your speaking skills!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking is often the easiest skill to lose<\/strong> during a long holiday. You\u2019re not doing grammar exercises or writing in class\u2014but without real conversation practice, it\u2019s easy to feel a bit rusty when September comes around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are six simple ways<\/strong> to keep speaking English over the summer\u2014even if you’re travelling, working, or just relaxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Try speaking out loud during the day. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It might feel silly at first, but it helps your brain stay in English<\/strong>\u2014and you don\u2019t need a partner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use your phone to record a short message once a week. Talk about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then listen to it. Did you speak clearly? Did you forget any words? Would you say something differently next time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if you\u2019re not visiting an English-speaking country, you can still use English while travelling:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Know someone else who\u2019s learning English? Ask if they\u2019d like to practise with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even 10 minutes a week<\/strong> on WhatsApp or Zoom can help. Choose a fun topic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep it relaxed and enjoy speaking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Changing your phone language is a great trick! You\u2019ll see English:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s an easy way to practise a little English every day\u2014without studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Choose one small speaking goal<\/strong> for the summer. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI want to talk for two minutes about my summer holiday when school starts.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Practise a little each week. In September, you\u2019ll feel more confident and ready to speak!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’d like a mini summer challenge<\/strong>, weekly speaking ideas, or feedback on your recordings\u2014I\u2019m happy to help. Just send me a message!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enjoy your break\u2014and keep speaking English!<\/strong> \ud83c\udf1e\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summer break is here\u2014but don\u2019t let your English disappear!
