LEARNING TIPS: ENGLISH IN THE SUMMER

Good morning.

Tomorrow's Essential Weekly Vitamin for Spanish-speaking learners of English will be the last Daily Vitamin until Monday, September 15th. Therefore, today I wanted to take this opportunity to encourage you to make a plan to stay in contact with English this summer.

If you are a Ziggurat student or a Daily Vitamin Plus! subscriber, these months might be a good time to:

1) review and revise the almost 1000 Daily Vitamins that we have created since October 2003.
2) listen to Daily Vitamin sound files to improve your pronunciation and listening skills.
3) do the monthly activities that we have created, which will help you to consolidate the content covered for each month.

A couple of years ago I had a student return from summer holidays with a stronger level than when he left. (This is a true story!) During the summer he read in English, watched films and DVDs in English and went to Scotland with his family (among other things). There is no reason not to improve your English in the summer.

To help give you ideas, I'm attaching a document (in Spanish) with some suggestions for Summer English activities. I hope you find them useful.

Have a great summer and we'll see you on September 15th.
