Last week marked the end of the school year for Columbus Public Schools. There’s no doubt in our minds that the kids are extremely happy for the break, but having them home during the day can create some challenges for parents.
Between work and classes and taking care of your kids, it may feel like you don’t get much of a summer.
OR maybe you are planning a vacation during the warmer months. This is the best time to rest and relax, but it doesn’t leave much time for working on your English skills.
Don’t worry! Even if you aren’t in class, there are still some things you can do to ensure you’re staying focused over the summer.
Probably the easiest way to ensure you continue to learn English over the summer is to read to your kids. It doesn’t matter what types of stories or books you choose, just make sure they’re in English. Whether it’s right before bed or in the middle of the day, reading with your kids can be incredibly enjoyable.
In addition to reading with your kids, another option you have is to listen to audiobooks. There are a variety of apps that you can download onto your phone that give you access to a wide range of stories, so you’re sure to find something that you enjoy.
The best part about audiobooks is that you can listen while doing other things. It doesn’t matter if you’re driving, working, doing chores, or just hanging out, you can have a book playing in the background.
Audiobooks are ideal if you’re traveling. Whether you’re in the car or getting onto a plane, pop your headphones in, be transported to another world, and immerse yourself in some English!
If you happen to have the Burlington English app, spending some time on it during the summer can be incredibly beneficial—even if it’s only 5 minutes a day.
At night, right before you go to bed, instead of scrolling through social media, open the BE app and do a quick lesson. Sitting in a waiting room? This can be a great time to do some English lessons on your phone!
During the summer, there are tons of events to go to, and this can be a great time to practice your conversational English skills. Sure, it can be a bit intimidating to talk to others, but it’s also a great way to hone your skills and stay focused on your studies over the summer.
Plus, you’ll get outside, enjoy some fresh air, and have some fun!
Summer can be an incredibly busy time of year, and it can be hard to find time to study. However, by finding ways to include the kids or engage in activities while on the go, you can still study over the summer and improve your English skills.
We also hope to see you in class.
