How I Practice English Daily as a Non-Native Speaker


Simple tips that actually work for learners like me

Improving English is not just about memorizing grammar rules or long vocabulary lists. For non-native speakers like me, it's more about building daily habits and staying consistent.

Here’s how I do it, step by step:


1. I speak to myself in English

When I’m alone, I talk about what I’m doing or thinking — in English. It’s a simple trick, but it builds confidence.


2. I listen to English content I like

I enjoy listening to short YouTube videos, songs, and sometimes even news clips. I focus more on the sound, the sentence structure, and how real people use the language.


3. I learn new words naturally

Instead of forcing myself to learn 20 words a day, I focus on just 2–3 words that come up in my day. Then I try to use them in a sentence.


4. I write casually in English

I keep short diary-style notes in English. For example:
“Today I felt happy because…” or “I learned a new thing…”
It doesn’t have to be perfect. The goal is practice.


5. I speak out loud daily

Even just for 5 minutes, I try to speak clearly. I read something out loud or practice pronunciation to improve fluency.


Final Thoughts

If you're a non-native English speaker like me, don’t be afraid to start small. Try one thing today. Keep going step by step and you’ll see the change.

But I found a fun and free way to improve: YouTube! Here’s what I do that really helped me: 1. I started with kids' content and subtitles I wasn’t ashamed to start small. I watched simple cartoons, beginner English channels, and videos with clear subtitles. This helped me match the sound to the words. 2. I watched English vlogs with real conversations I like to hear how people actually talk — not textbook English. So I followed daily vloggers, travel bloggers, and lifestyle YouTubers. I listened, paused, and repeated. 3. I used ‘slow playback’ on YouTube If someone speaks fast, I just slow it down (click the gear icon > Playback speed > 0.75x). It helped me catch every word clearly. 4. I watched the same video 2–3 times First, with subtitles. Then, without subtitles. And somet...
