Today I'm going to talk to you about five things that you can practise every single day to improve your English. Learning a language is like learning to play a musical instrument, you can't just pick up a violin and know how to play it, or at least I didn't when I learned the violin. You have to practise a little bit every singe day, and over time you will improve and become fluent. You can't just practise loads the day before an exam and expect to be perfect at playing that violin, it's exactly the same for languages. The best way to learn a language is to practise a little bit every single day. And in this lesson I'm going to give you five different ways that you can incorporate English, or any other language, into your daily life. I think that quite a few of these you wouldn't have heard before. So let's get straight into it. Number one, and ugh I am so excited to be able to mention, one of my favourite things to listen to ever on my channel, my first piece of advice is to follow an audio soap-opera.

What is a soap-opera I hear you ask, well I shall tell you. A soap-opera is a daily serial, or series, dealing with the daily lives and events of the same group of characters, normally in the same location. Most commonly they are on television. We have lots in the UK like Eastenders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, but I'm recommending you listen to an audio one. And there's one in particular I would like to recommend. I really, really recommend a radio soap-opera by the BBC Radio four, called The Archers. The Archers. The Archers. It's special for so many reasons, not least because it is the longest running drama in history, it was started in 1950, first aired in 1951, and also because I think it is absolutely perfect for English learners. It follows the daily lives and dramas of a group of fictional characters in the fictional countryside village of Ambridge.

Each episode is around 12 to 14 minutes long, I'm not quite sure exactly how long, but it's definitely under 15 minutes. It's spoken in relatively clear English, in a variety of British accents, and sometimes not British accents as well, other accents. But it's fantastic because the plot summaries are posted on the BBC website. I will link all of this below in the description box. And the great thing about this is that it deals with daily happenings which is great for your life too, current events, routine things, and you can repeat all of the parts you missed. It's on every single day apart from Saturday, they have a rest, and once a week they condense all of the week's episodes into one and that's called an omnibus, and that's around 75 minutes long. I love listening to The Archers when I go running. I listen to it every single day and if I miss one I always catch up. There is no beginning and there is no finish to the series, there aren't any seasons. So it might take you a couple of episodes to get used to the story lines and to work out who is who and to recognise the different voices. Give it five or six episodes and you'll feel really included. It's wonderful because it's free to listen to, it's beautifully produced, and there is a huge community of Archers fans. A lot of them are older, but a lot of them are younger too.
