Are you looking to improve your English proficiency while living in a non-English speaking country? Don't worry. It's completely possible. With a little dedication and practice, you can improve your English skills and become more confident in your ability to communicate in this globally important language.

In this lesson, we'll explore some practical tips and strategies for improving your English proficiency while living in a non-English speaking country.

There are a few ways you can improve your English proficiency while living in a non-English speaking country. 

So the first thing to do, practice speaking and listening as much as possible. Find opportunities to speak English with native English speakers or other English language learners. This can include joining an English language club or finding an English language exchange partner.

Read and write in English. Find books, articles, blog posts, newsletters, and other reading materials in English, and practice your reading comprehension skills. Reading in English can help you improve your vocabulary and comprehension skills. You can find English language news articles or books online or even at your local library.

You can also try writing in English, whether it be in a journal or by creating your own written content. Do this both virtually and also analog. Writing it out. 

Listen to English, music and podcasts to practice your listening skills. 

Take an English course. Consider enrolling in an English language course at a local language school or through an online platform. This can give you the opportunity to learn from a qualified professional and receive feedback on your progress. 

Immerse yourself in the language. Surround yourself with English as much as possible by listening to music, watching movies and series, and using English apps and websites. 

Watch English language, TV shows or movies. Watching TV shows or movies in English can help you improve your listening skills, your listening comprehension, and expose you to different accents and dialects.

You can also find a wide range of English language content on streaming platforms like Netflix or Hulu, or Amazon Prime, or HBO. 

Enroll in an online English community. Consider joining a community such as Explearning Academy, where we meet live multiple times a week for discussions, workshops, and events. You'll also get language lessons, communication lessons, challenges, and quests to complete, and lots of opportunity to practice your communication skills, apply the concepts and strategies we teach at Advanced English and Explearning, and receive feedback on your progress. 

Remember, the most important thing is to be patient with yourself. And keep practicing. Improving your English proficiency takes time and dedication, but it can be extremely rewarding and enriching.

Are you ready to put this into practice? Well, I have a set of quests for you to complete if you're a member of our private community Exploring Academy. So if you would like the Quest, the weekly plan of exercises, the discussion that goes along with it, and an opportunity to submit questions or ask me live in real time, then you can sign up for our community by going to academy.explearning.co.
