👉🏻 When studying a foreign language, one of the best techniques is to mix your skill training (listening, reading, speaking, and writing) and train on these daily. 

👉🏻 This takes more time and requires you to either think deeply or interrupt your own language environment daily. This is an intentional feature of our programs. 

👉🏻 It is especially important if you really want to improve your use of English in specific topics.

👉🏻 Practice and daily training have a cumulative effect. You might not notice improvements each day, but just keep training yourself and you will develop fluency in the subject. 

👉🏻 You will soon realize your vocabulary increases, your pronunciation improves, and you speak more fluently.
