This advice will change your life

Hi there,

Daniel Tanner here and welcome back to the The English Workout.

If you’re new around here, this is the weekly newsletter from ChatBubble that helps professionals practise the English skills they need to succeed. 💼 

Let’s get started….

Something to play 🎲 

What’s wrong with these sentences? 🤔 

I’ve meet him before. ❌ 

Hey, you’ve ate all the pizza! ❌ 

….the past participles are incorrect. They should be…

I’ve met him before ✔️ 

Hey, you’ve eaten all the pizza ✔️ 

These are irregular verbs and they can cause trouble for English learners at any level!

But don’t worry. I’m here for you. All you need is a bit of practice, so try the quiz below and see if you can get them all correct.

Follow these steps:

1. Read the verb in the infinite and think of the past participle forms.

2. Click 🔍️ to check your answer!

3. Repeat with the next verb and become an irregular verb master!

This advice will change your life

Something to watch 🎦 

Let me guess…

You really want to speak English fluently.

You want to understand your foreign friends and colleagues.

You want to feel confident and ready to speak English at work.

What if I told you that you could achieve this in just 2 minutes a day? 🤯 

How? Well, you might have already seen my video on how to create meaningful and achievable goals using the SMART approach (watch it here if you haven’t seen it yet), but today I wanted to share this other incredible piece of advice with you.

I came across (=found by chance) an interesting chapter in a book I’m reading right now about creating small habits in your life that lead to big changes (the book’s called Atomic Habits by James Clear) and I found a video for you that summarises the main idea.

How is this applicable to you? Well, it suggests you can learn anything with just two minutes of study every day. Including English!

Sound good?

Watch the video from 1 min 20 secs to find out how.

Test your understanding by answering true or false to the following statements (Reply to this email with your answers):

1. You have to simplify any task down to two minutes or less. - True / False

2. At first the technique seems stupid. - True / False

3. Studying for just 2 minutes a day helps you to become the kind of person who studies every day. - True / False

4. A habit needs to be expanded upon before it is established. - True / False
