Stick with one useful resource to study grammar and my favorite one is the Oxford Learner’s Grammar

Use Italki feature called “Notebook” and write entries about anything you want (see Pinterest for some inspo) and you’ll receive corrections by native speakers, super useful to improve your writing skills

Tandem and Hello Talk are perfect to practice your speaking, English native speakers are EVERYWHERE! Don’t be afraid and use only voice messages

To improve your pronunciation I highly recommend to check out some basic linguistic knowledge because it makes easier, this helped me a lot and I highly recommend to check @maripolyglot YouTube video about it

WORK ON YOUR VOCABULARY! Type “English vocabulary or vocab list” in the search field. You’ll thank me later~

College students around the world are all (or at least the majority) quarantined, this means that lectures and classes are now online.

So here’s some general tips I am practicing myself to live peacefully and still be productive during hours and hours spent in front of my laptop:

refill your bottle with nice and fresh water before starting

turn on some scented candles to give you chilly vibes

keep your agenda by your side

after 4 hours in front of the screen, go change the setting of your laptop  and turn on night mode / make the screen yellowish

every 3/4 hours have a healthy snack, my fave is walnuts

drink regularly

between one class and another take at least 5 minutes to walk around the room

after classes do at least the most urgent homework and tasks

rest at least 8 hours per night

when doing your homework, try to not listen to music or at least lo-fi mixes or something that cheers you up (lately I’ve been listening to kpop 24/7)

do not study all the time: read a book, look for new music to listen to, read a book, paint, decorate your bujo / agenda, play some video games

if you can, prepare projects with your friends and use FaceTime, Skype, Zoom or Teams to connect and discuss together

if you have one, let your pet to stay next to you during classes or homework

keep on your desk stationary that puts you in a good mood

use regularly a moisturizing hand cream, due to washing them often, they get drier and drier 

wear the most comfy clothes you can find
