Overview

This video provides a comprehensive guide to learning English for free, focusing on practical resources, strategies, and methods. The speaker shares her personal journey from an A1 to a C1 level and outlines a structured plan divided into three stages: A1 to A2, A2 to B1, and B1 to C1, offering specific techniques and recommended platforms for each level.

Key takeaways

• Assess your level: Start by taking a free English proficiency test (e.g., Duolingo English Test) to accurately determine your current level and where to begin in the video's plan.
• Stage 1: A1 to A2 (Beginners):
  • Grammar: Use websites like engvid.com for simplified grammar explanations and quizzes. Focus on one grammar rule per day to build a strong foundation.
  • Pronunciation & Listening: Utilize the "Easy English" YouTube channel for slow, clear pronunciation and listening practice. Extract three new words from each video, practice their pronunciation, and use translation tools to understand their meaning in sentences.
  • Vocabulary: Use the app "Busuu" for 10 minutes daily to learn new words in context.
• Stage 2: A2 to B1 (Intermediate):
  • Grammar: Continue with engvid.com, focusing on A2 grammar lessons and repeating phrases from videos to improve pronunciation and fluency.
  • Listening: Engage with "English Speaking Course" YouTube channel for enjoyable content suitable for this level, focusing on extracting five new words and practicing them on engvid.com.
  • Writing & Speaking: Summarize video content in writing, use tools like Grammarly to correct errors, and practice speaking by reading your summary aloud in front of a mirror.
• Stage 3: B1 to C1 (Advanced):
  • Listening: Utilize podcasts from VOA Learning English for varied topics and vocabulary. Practice shadowing (repeating audio with exact pronunciation) for accent and pronunciation improvement.
  • Speaking & Writing: Write scripts summarizing learned content, get them corrected by tools like QuillBot, and then practice speaking extemporaneously in front of a mirror. Alternatively, use the "word to story" method by creating narratives around new vocabulary.
  • Fluency Practice: Use ESL discussions.com to answer questions on various topics for 15 minutes daily, simulating real conversations.
• Continuous Assessment: Regularly retake the Duolingo English Test (monthly) to track progress and ensure you're ready for the next level. Avoid self-assessment to prevent inaccurate evaluations.

For beginners (A1-A2), the speaker recommends using the YouTube channel "Easy English" for pronunciation and listening practice. The strategy involves:

1. Watching short, engaging videos daily.
2. Taking notes with a pen and paper.
3. Extracting three new words from each video.
4. Practicing the pronunciation of these three words.
5. Using translation tools (like Microsoft Translator or Google Translate) to find the meaning of these words in Arabic.
6. Using the word on engvid.com to see example sentences and practice pronunciation within those contexts.
7. Repeating the sentences from the video to mimic the speaker's pronunciation and improve fluency.
