 Day 24: Developing Confidence in Asking Questions


Today, I focused on improving my ability to ask questions in English, whether for information, clarification, or starting conversations. Asking the right questions is essential for real-life communication, so my goal was to practice forming questions naturally and fluently.


What did I do today?


Practicing Question Forms:


I reviewed how to form different types of questions, including:


Yes/No questions (e.g., “Do you like coffee?”).


WH-questions (e.g., “Where do you usually go on weekends?”).


Indirect questions (e.g., “Could you tell me where the station is?”).



I practiced asking each type of question aloud, focusing on correct grammar and pronunciation.



Role-Playing Conversations:


I created scenarios like meeting someone for the first time, visiting a store, or attending a class. I practiced starting conversations and asking follow-up questions to keep them going.



Question-Answer Practice:


I practiced both asking and answering questions, imagining a natural flow of conversation. For example, “What’s your favorite hobby?” followed by explaining my own hobbies.




How did I feel today?

Practicing questions made me realize how important they are for keeping a conversation alive. At first, I struggled with forming indirect questions correctly, but after repeating them, I started feeling more confident.


Achievements of the Day


Improved my ability to ask clear and grammatically correct questions.


Practiced starting and maintaining conversations using effective questions.



Plan for Tomorrow


Focus on listening to conversations and identifying the types of questions used.


Try to use indirect and follow-up questions in speaking practice to make conversations more engaging.

Day 11: Listening to Native Conversations and Shadowing Today, I focused on listening to more natural, native conversations to improve my listening skills and comprehension. I also practiced shadowing, which is repeating what I hear in real-time to get more comfortable with the flow of the language. What did I do today? Listening to Native Conversations: I listened to a series of short conversations between native speakers, paying close attention to how they speak in natural settings. I tried to catch common expressions and phrases used in daily life that might help me sound more natural. Shadowing Practice: I picked a short video with a native speaker and repeated what they said immediately after they said it. This was challenging, but it helped me match their rhythm and tone. I tried to match the speaker's intonation and pronunciation as closely as possible, focusing on improving my fluency. How did I feel today? Shadowing was tough at first because I couldn’t keep up with the sp...

Day 5: Practicing Listening and Understanding Conversations Today, I decided to focus more on listening, as I believe it's a key part of language learning. By listening to conversations, we get the chance to improve our skills significantly. My goal was to understand conversations better and learn common words and phrases used in daily life. What did I do today? Listening to Simple Conversations: I watched short videos in English with subtitles. First, I focused on listening, and then checked the subtitles to make sure I understood everything. I chose videos that had simple conversations between people in everyday situations like "at the cafe" or "shopping." Reviewing New Vocabulary: I learned new words while watching the videos and wrote them down to review later. How did I feel today? At first, I wasn't sure if I would be able to understand, but after a while, I started noticing that certain words were repeated across videos. This made me feel like I’m on ...
