Reading

How much time do you spend reading English every day? I always tell my students that they should try to spend at least an hour a day reading a book, a newspaper, or a magazine in English. There are a lot of places online, too, but it's good to get away from the computer, go outside, and just read something that interests you. It can be any subject--gardening, music, history, religion, astronomy--and you should try to write down words that you don't know in a notebook that you use for collecting new vocabulary. I did this when I studied German and it helped me develop new vocabulary. �

That's the only thing I can't do. I think I don't have enough patience for it. I suppose it depends on each individual. For me conversation is the only way to learn a language. Your videos improved my vocabulary a lot. Is there any test on your site to determine the level of a student?
