Learn English On The Go

If you’re a busy professional, finding the time to acquire a new skill can be challenging – especially when your chosen skill is something that can’t be learnt on the job, like a language. For example, many professionals want to boost their employability by learning English, but may find it hard to attend classes or follow a traditional study routine. But being busy is no reason you should miss out – and in fact, many of us have more free time than we think. Here are some ideas for how you can fit learning English into a busy day.

Use multiple devices

If a traditional study routine won’t work for you, then neither will traditional study materials. Forget about the textbooks, notebooks and folders you used as a student and take a more digital approach by using devices such as your smartphone, iPad or tablet to help you learn. Even a laptop is too cumbersome when you’re on the go – make the most of your time with a device that allows you to access information quickly and efficiently and an English speaking app that teaches you what you need to know.

Learn English on your commute

Whether you take the train, tram, bus or underground to work, your commute is a great time to learn – after all, you’re not doing anything else. Simply swap your novel, Sudoku, computer game or newspaper for an app that will help you learn business English and you’ll be all set. Think about it: if your commute is at least 30 minutes, you’ll quickly achieve the recommended number of weekly learning hours.

Language learning over lunch

Another often overlooked period of the day that’s great for learning is lunch time. Rather than sitting at your desk staring at news websites or Facebook, find a quiet space where you can concentrate on your business vocabulary as you eat. Even better, if you know an English speaker, why not ask them to join you for lunch and practice your skills. Not only will this help you improve your English, you’ll be in a better state of mind for your afternoon of work after taking a break.

One of the secrets to successfully learning a new language is immersion – and having an app that allows you to keep learning at different points throughout the day is a great way to achieve this, especially when combined with other techniques such as watching films and reading the news. To find out just how much different this approach can make, take a trial of the Learn English app today and gain access to its extensive rage of tools.
