3 Steps to Level Up Your English

Ready to boost your English skills and prepare for a career at TTEC? Here are some steps to get you started.

1. Immerse Yourself in the Language

To improve your English skills, surround yourself with the language as much as possible. This is one of the most effective ways to learn naturally.

• Change your device language: Switch your phone, computer, and social media accounts to English.
• Consume English media: Watch movies and TV shows with English subtitles, listen to podcasts on topics you enjoy, or check out TTEC's Talking Off The Clock.
• Read and write in English regularly: Start reading articles, blogs, or simple books. Reading helps expand your vocabulary and understand sentence structure. Writing can then help you put your vocabulary to practice and improve your English writing skills.

Bonus Tip: Use English media to hone your nonverbal communication skills as well. Practice active listening. Observe and try to adapt facial expressions of English speakers.

2. Practice Speaking Every Day

So, how to develop your english speaking skills? Confidence comes from practice. Find opportunities to speak English, even if it's just for a few minutes each day.

• Find a language partner: Use apps like Tandem or HelloTalk to connect with native English speakers who want to learn Spanish.
• Talk to yourself: It might feel strange at first, but narrating your daily activities in English is a great way to practice thinking in the language.
• Record yourself: Use your phone to record yourself speaking. Listen back to identify areas for improvement in your pronunciation and fluency.

3. Create a Simple Study Plan

In mastering the English language, consistency is more important than intensity. A simple, manageable study plan will help you stay on track.

• Set small, daily goals: Aim to learn five new vocabulary words, practice speaking for 15 minutes, or watch one short video in English each day.
• Focus on practical vocabulary: Learn words and phrases related to customer service, technology, and professional communication.
• Use free resources: Websites like Duolingo, BBC Learning English, and Coursera offer excellent free courses and exercises.
