What should you do if you don't have much time to study English? First, remember what I said yesterday ー Something done is better than nothing done perfectly. What's important is that you do SOMETHING regularly. To learn and NOT forget the brain needs regular, frequent repetitive learning. It’s far better to do 15 minutes a day than 3 hours once a week. If you do 3 hours once a week you’re spending almost DOUBLE the amount of time… but it’s wasted because that’s not how the brain works. The second you learn something, you start forgetting — and you keep forgetting until it is hard-coded in long-term memory. Which again — takes time and repetition. So by learning and using English often (even if only a tiny bit) you keep the language and learn more, faster. So, here's my minimum effective weekly routine: https://youtu.be/AZ7zKySUArw This will work best if you actually use English day to day. But it’s still better than nothing even if you don’t. And of course… You can AND SHOULD do all this while you're doing other things (for example running, driving to work, on the train, cleaning the house). So really you don't need any extra time at all. If you're not an Extraordinary English Speakers member, you can (and should) apply this same logic to whatever materials you're using - just sure they're high quality, otherwise, it's all a waste of time anyway.
