After just three months, it will mean that you have practiced for an additional 60 hours! We will guide you through the program, telling you exactly what you need to focus on each week for the highest chance of success.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let\u2019s have a look at your 3-month study plan!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Who is the 3-month study plan for?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Disclaimer: while you may follow this plan without a SpeakUp subscription, your chance of following through is substantially higher if you do.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">English level<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First of all, this plan is created for intermediate level students (CEFR B1 students). When you\u2019re at this level, you have a good basis of grammar and you can only express yourself in familiar situations. Talking about travel or hobbies feels possible, but talking about hypothetical situations or describing a political ideology less so! When someone talks to you, you usually understand parts of what they are saying as long as they don\u2019t speak too quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Commitment<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We then need our students to be aware that this 3-month study plan requires a weekly commitment of 5 hours at a minimum. We will help you to make it as easy as possible to commit to those 5 hours by including topics you can easily work on with our SpeakUp program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The last requirement is that our students trust the process and commit to three full months of work. Learning English requires effort, but here at Magoosh we make sure it never feels painful! If you commit consistently for three months, you will notice that by the end of that period, your level of English will have improved a great deal!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The 3-month study plan<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">*Note: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We\u2019ve opened a few of the lessons from our premium product for you to experience in the plan below, at no cost to you.

Record yourself while you do it and listen back to your recording.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How would you pronounce a sentence like \u201cWe could go\u201d? Would you be surprised to hear that we don\u2019t pronounce the \u201cld\u201d as such but that it becomes a \u201cg\u201d sound? In this lesson on<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/english-speaking\/assimilation-when-sounds-change\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> assimilation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> you will learn more about this phenomenon. After class, try to think of a type of assimilation that really surprised you. Make 2 sentences using this type of assimilation.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Homework: Watch a short clip in which a native British person speaks, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=64R2MYUt394\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">like this one.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Do you notice any sounds that are different than what you would expect in an American accent?

Let\u2019s polish your pronunciation even further. Let\u2019s have a look at the differences in s and z sounds, as some surprising words have z sounds that you may not expect.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/english-speaking\/the-s-and-z-sounds\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> After this lesson<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, write down 10 words that have an unexpected s or z sound.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let\u2019s also have a look at all the different ways a t can be pronounced. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/english-speaking\/the-many-sounds-of-t\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This lesson<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> will help you identify when you need to use which kind. Afterwards, make one sentence in which all 5 types of t can be heard.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our last lesson on this program is a lesson about compound nouns, when two words become a new noun when placed together. You\u2019ll learn more about which words are compound nouns and how these should be stressed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/english-speaking\/compound-nouns\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">in this lesson<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Homework: Reflect on what you\u2019ve learned in the past 12 weeks and prepare a little 2-5 minute presentation about this. Mention what surprised you, what challenged you and what was easier than expected.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So how does Magoosh SpeakUp work exactly?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In short, you will become part of a welcoming and safe community in which you have the chance to practice your listening and speaking skills in multiple lessons a day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You sign up to SpeakUp, where you will immediately feel welcomed as a valued member of our student community. You will have the chance to choose from a wide-range of lessons that are offered 6 days a week and suitable for all time zones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Classes are structured in such a way that you will have the chance to speak as much as possible. Most classes have only 2 to 4 students, so you will receive personalized attention from our experienced teachers throughout the lesson. Our teachers have been selected based on their experience, qualifications and ability to make you feel at ease. You can be sure that they want to see you succeed!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students can also choose to be active on our dedicated Slack platform, where many choose to get to know each other better, comment on classes or ask each other questions. We would love to see you there too!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After joining, students frequently comment on how quickly SpeakUp feels like it has always been part of their lives.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How to make sure you execute the 3-month study plan<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To make it as easy as possible for yourself,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/speaking.magoosh.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> join SpeakUp<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">! We will be happy to welcome you personally. We reply to each of our new members within one business day, creating a tailor-made program just for you based on your needs. This will make it very easy for you to know what you should be focusing on first for maximum results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You will immediately notice the wide-range of classes that are on offer that week, so you can go ahead and select your first few. Your new classmates will welcome you with open arms and will love to hear what your reason is to improve your English further. These classes are great opportunities to speak with people who are at the same level as you. Because of how the classes are structured, you can be sure to feel supported in every class and never criticized for any mistakes you make.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Having accountability partners that check in with you weekly<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The best way of staying engaged when following a 3-month study plan is by having people who care about you check in with you weekly. Although it could be any friendly person in your life, you will get the best results when you have accountability partners that are either doing the same as you, or are professionals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An easy way of finding people who will check in on you, is when you decide to join SpeakUp. In this way, you can stay in touch with your classmates and teachers on our dedicated Slack channels after class to practice your written English as well as your reading skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s almost too easy to succeed when you combine our 3 month English learning plan with SpeakUp!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What happens if you fall off?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, we are all human and life sometimes surprises us in ways we couldn\u2019t foresee. It happens occasionally that a student can no longer commit to the hours that they thought they could originally for that 3-month study plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The most important thing is to remain kind to yourself. You signed up to the program in the first place, so you know that you are dedicated to improving your English. All you need to do is keep going as you were doing before as that will give you the results you are looking for. Students who have found themselves in this situation have extended the 3-month study plan timeline. You could add another month or more to your program to make sure that you finish what you set out to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some students have told us that they set up a system of treats for themselves when they manage to meet their goals. For example, you can go on that fun day trip if you complete all the planned lessons every 4 weeks. Other students like to scare themselves into going to class: If you don\u2019t show up for class, you\u2019re not allowed to eat any chocolate today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Usually, however, we find that our students like coming back to class so much that they soon forget about their own reward and punishment systems!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why not give the 3-month study plan a try?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We have multiple daily lessons on business days and frequently, weekends as well. As our students are based all around the world, from the U.S.A. to Germany to South Korea, we always offer classes that are right for your time zone too. Why not take a class in your lunch hour, right before you start work or at the end of your workday today?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We are excited to welcome you to our SpeakUp community!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A good English learning plan is specific, achievable, and tailored to your needs, and that\u2019s exactly what we are going to deliver today.
