 Day 31: Practicing Formal and Informal English


Today, I worked on understanding the difference between formal and informal English and practiced using both styles depending on the situation. My goal was to adapt my speaking style based on who I’m talking to.


What did I do today?


Learning the Differences:


I studied common phrases and expressions used in formal English (e.g., “I would like to...,” “Could you please...”) and informal English (e.g., “I wanna...,” “Can you...?”).


I noted the situations where each style is appropriate, like formal for work or school and informal for friends or casual settings.



Role-Playing Conversations:


I practiced formal conversations, like writing an email or talking to a teacher: “Good morning, I hope this email finds you well.”


Then, I switched to informal conversations, like chatting with a friend: “Hey, how’s it going?”



Mixing Styles:


I practiced switching between formal and informal styles in role-play scenarios. For example, talking formally to a boss and then informally to a colleague in the same setting.




How did I feel today?

It was fun learning how to adapt my style, but I realized it’s easy to mix them up without noticing. With practice, I started feeling more confident about knowing when to use formal or informal language.


Achievements of the Day


Learned key phrases for formal and informal English.


Practiced switching between styles smoothly in conversations.



Plan for Tomorrow


Focus on improving writing skills, including formal emails and casual messages.


Practice more real-life scenarios where I can use both styles.

Day 11

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 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 quest...

Day 5

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 ...
