💠 Focus on Listening Every Day
So, what makes this method work? Much like a child absorbing their first language, learning English through context and repetition allows your brain to forge connections organically. Imagine recognising phrases effortlessly because you've heard them hundreds of times in relatable scenarios—train announcements, casual chats, or even TV dialogues. The key lies in daily exposure: just 30 minutes of targeted listening can sharpen your ear for rhythm, vocabulary, and nuance. Traditional courses often neglect this, leaving learners awkwardly "flying by the seat of their trousers" when speaking. But by focusing first on understanding, you'll build the confidence to respond naturally, without overthinking grammar rules.
