Hi, everybody!🖐
In this post, I would like to share with you what I usually do after my posts have been revised and edited by native speakers (thank you 3 x times).
I copy fragments that contain errors into the Google table and highlight mistakes. Having done that, I usually wait 1-2 days before I go back to those fragments and correct them trying to pull out from memory the correct or alternative option. That way is useful for critical thinking and helps me to activate those lazy neurons in my brain that usually sleep and resist working out :))
I also plan to add categories into the left column. It'll look like "punctuation", "phrasal verbs" etc., so that there are additional filtering options.
I'm inventing various learning strategies because I really want to smash (or nail?) English this year. Not least because of certain guys here on Journaly who managed to master Russian better than some natives do😱.
What about you? Do you have any Journaly life hacks?🖊
By the way, I expect a lot of users to come to the platform next days because of Robin's latest video on Youtube.
It took me 8 minutes to write this post⏱, that's exactly how long my son's favourite Lego video on Youtube is. Don't be hard on me this time.
Just an edit to the title (I'm in a rush!): We'd just say "How I use" (It's not a question) :)
Great strategy, going to give it a try! I'm also Russian but my level of English is far from impressive yet 😂 My ways of learning include Anki and grammar drills. I also try to do intensive reading every day at least for an hour; it's when I read slowly and attentively, analyzing all structures, articles, etc. I also sometimes add in my texts collocations and phrases that I like or that editors had offered me in my last posts.😊
Don't be too hard on me? You're joking, right? That was unreal! I agree with Adam's title suggestion: How I Use Journaly to Improve My English Other than that, the English on here is exemplary. Very impressive!
Thank you all for likes and comments! Спасибо, Gracias!
