1/ Practice watching movies with English subtitles.

Watching movies with Vietnamese subtitles certainly has a positive impact on your English skills. But if you want to "boost your abilities," try taking it to a higher level: watching movies with English subtitles!

This is a great way to improve your listening skills.

There will be parts where you don't understand what the characters are saying at all, but don't worry, why not try your hand at "guessing" what will happen next?

For words or phrases you don't understand, don't hesitate to pause the movie and write them down or look them up in a dictionary! I guarantee that your level will improve significantly after just a few months!

2/ Sing karaoke in English 

Singing karaoke in English is an excellent way to improve your English pronunciation and expand your vocabulary! You might not be a great singer, but that's no reason not to try this fantastic method.

Go to YouTube and search for the karaoke version of your favorite song and "sing it alone" if you're shy. I guarantee that after a few weeks, once you're used to singing in English, your pronunciation skills will improve significantly and sound closer to a native speaker!

3/ Watch a TED Talk

If you haven't heard of it before... TED Talk, If you're still missing out, then I'm very sorry to say that you're really "missing out," because TED Talks are a treasure trove of amazing knowledge.

Through videos capturing speeches and inspiring stories from people all over the world, we see individuals who could be scientists, artists, entrepreneurs, or simply ordinary people, but who offer truly remarkable insights.

There are many topics to choose from, ranging from science and skills to historical stories… all presented in English, with numerous subtitles in various languages around the world. You can choose Vietnamese or English to improve your skills.

And the great thing is that you not only practice your English but also learn hundreds of useful things.

4. Gossip with your friends in English.

You're hesitant to talk to foreigners because, after all, they're strangers, right? Then find a like-minded friend and try chatting about anything and everything in English. Your pronunciation might not be perfect or fluent, but that's okay! The important thing is that you feel comfortable speaking English first. Other issues like grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation can wait! You can improve with books or supplementary English classes, can't you?
