This is how I normally start my day.
I sleep in my clothes and do my makeup at night
so that I don't waste time with unproductive things.
I only drink smoothies because I can eat and drink at the same time.
Plus, I can kill two birds with one stone while I start studying.
Now it's time to get ready for bed.
Besides studying super hard, the most important goal is to save time.
Even when it comes to bathroom time.
Time to get some rest before I start studying again.
Just kidding.
That would be ridiculous.
Now, let me show you how my day actually goes
You don't have to wake up
super early and start studying all day to improve your English.
So I usually start my day by listening to a quick five minute
motivational TEDTalk while I stretch and get ready to start my day.
This is a great way to feel positive
and practice my listening skills at the same time.
There are also
tons of great topics to choose from, no matter what you're interested in.
To become an advanced English speaker, you have to make English part
of your daily activities no matter what you're doing.
But if TEDTalks are not your thing, then why not try
a quick guided meditation or listen to the news of the day?
Whatever you enjoy listening to be sure to take note of any new words
you hear and write them down in a notebook or store them on a flashcard app
so that you can listen and review them later.
Okay, now let's go have breakfast.
So the key thing about advancing your English is to bring more
than just studying grammar rules and pronunciation.
It's about making English part of your lifestyle no matter what you're doing.
For example, I'm about to make breakfast, and since I'm learning Portuguese,
what I like to do is search
for some simple recipes on YouTube and listen in that language.
Like today, I'm making misto quente.
You can do the same in English.
It's a fun way to connect with the language and the culture.
So here we have the misto
quente that I just prepared.
Think of all the amazing ingredients and cooking methods
you could learn from recipes in English.
This is also the perfect time to plan the rest of your day in English.
So grab your notebook and write down all the things you still need to do today.

While studying from textbooks is not the most fun part of learning
English, it is important to make time to understand the rules of the language.
As Picasso said, it's all about learning the rules
like a pro so you can break them like an artist.
I love this quote.
It means learn the rules, and gain all of the competencies.
Then, when you know what you're doing and why you're able to break down
the boundaries and adapt them to any opportunity and any situation,
you don't need to spend long hours studying textbooks.
All you have to do is dedicate a portion of your day
and focus on specific areas of the language.
That way you'll be able to master them a lot easier
and it will be more enjoyable.
I also like to use this time
to watch a live listen on Instagram or listen to a podcast
while noting down any new vocabulary I learn and using them in context.
Before you continue watching, why not pause the video
and let us know if you would like to learn
more about everyday English Share your answer down in the comments.
And don't forget to add an encouraging message to the rest of the community.
Okay, so I just had lunch and it was amazing.
But now I'm about to start my afternoon
by practicing Portuguese, by speaking with a friend from Brazil.
Making friends
with someone who speaks the language you're learning can be very valuable.
You might be shy and confused about how to connect with English speakers
That's exactly why we created our RealLife English app.
It's the only place where anytime, anywhere, at the press of a button
you can connect with other English learners from around the world.
You can have fascinating conversations about your daily life,
your hobbies, your interests, your passions.
Absolutely
Anything.
Having a great teacher can be life changing.
But I know that many of you can't afford it and have to study on your own.
That is why we have made the RealLife English app a free resource
that you can practice you speaking for free.
So download it now by clicking up here or down in the description box below,
or simply go to your favorite app store and search for RealLife English.
Okay guys.
So after practicing speaking with a friend I have some work to do.
So now I'll start
my final study activity for the day so that I can become an advanced learner.
And I'll do that by watching my favorite TV
series, Friends without Subtitles. Movies and TV series
are packed with language used in real-life conversations.
So this is a fun and useful way to learn English and get advanced fast.
I usually write down any words that I don't know and then look it up later
so that I can use it in conversation with friends or speaking partners.
One important thing you should know is that to be successful and advanced
learner you should have a balanced routine.
This means getting enough sleep so that you can be your best self every day.
So I'm not going to pull an all nighter I'm going to end my studies
here and get to bed now.
Oh, wait.
Before you go check out this lesson
we recently did
So any ideas of
some things that he can do to when he gets tongue tied?
Yeah.
I think there are some useful things you can do.
I mean, yeah, I think there are some useful things you can.
Why can't I remember any of the words I just heard?
I know these words, but it's like it goes in one ear and out the other.
This is so frustrating.
Can you relate to this?
