Daily English Plan: UPDATED for Pronunciation Practice

While you're living in Victoria, you should make a daily plan to make sure you're using your time well. Here's an example of a schedule that I recommend for students at REV:

UPDATE: I also require all students to practice Ben Franklin exercises to improve fluency in speaking, but also to improve your ability to understand natural English as spoken by native English speakers. 

Listen to these exercises as often as you can and repeat everything in the text that Rachel uses. You may have to do these exercises 4 or 5 times to get it correct!

Rachel's English: Ben Franklin Exercises

English Learning Plan

Morning & Afternoon

7:00AM-9:30AM    >>> Watch CBC News or Listen to CBC Radio
10:10AM-12:20PM >>> Attend morning classes.
12:20PM-1:00PM   >>> Eat lunch at REV
1:00PM-5:30PM     >>> Attend Classes

Evening

Watch CBC Fifth Estate and/or Listen to CBC Radio

Spend time talking with roommates, homestay family, friends (even from your home country) in English.

After a couple of weeks, you will notice that it gets easier and easier to speak without thinking too much. This means your fluency is improving, and that is why you came to Victoria!

If you tell me your situation, I will try to give you some ideas to help you improve, too!
