Why study tips still matter in 2025
And five quick ones to try this week (with a free download)
In 2025, there’s an app for everything — grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, even accent coaching. You can watch English teachers on TikTok, chat with AI tutors and get instant feedback from your phone. So do we still need old-fashioned study tips?
Actually, yes. Especially if you’re a real adult with a real life.
Whether you’re learning English for work, travel or just to feel more confident, simple study habits still work — as long as they work for you. That’s why we’ve created a free, printable resource with five easy ways to build your English this week.
🧠 Why tips still matter
Learning a language is like forging a path through a forest. Every time you practise, you walk that path again — and make it easier to find next time. Study tips aren’t just about discipline, they’re about making that path more walkable.
They help you:
- Keep going when you’re tired or distracted
- Use the language in real life, not just exercises
- Feel a small sense of progress every day
