Think about some other English challenges you can do for the summer time.
Let’s spring into action!
How the Challenge Works
Each day, you’ll complete a small, manageable task to strengthen your English. So, you can do this challenge alone or with a friend for extra motivation! Try to be consistent and track your progress.
Week 1: Vocabulary Boost
Day 1: Study five new spring-related words (e.g., bloom, drizzle, pollen, thaw, rejuvenation). Use them in sentences.
Day 2: Find an English song about spring and write down 10 words you don’t know. Then look them up and use them in a short paragraph.
Day 3: Choose an English news article and highlight new words. Then write definitions in your own words.
Day 4: Learn five phrasal verbs (e.g., wake up, set off, give up). Then write a short story using them.
Day 5: Play an online word game like Scrabble or Wordle.
Day 6: Watch a short video in English and note down 3-5 useful expressions.
Day 7: Then test yourself! Use all the new words you’ve learned this week in a conversation or writing piece.
Week 2: Speaking and Listening
Day 8: Describe today’s weather in English. Then try to use at least three adjectives.
Day 9: Call a customer service line or voice assistant (like Siri) and ask a question in English.
Day 10: Record yourself reading a short paragraph aloud and compare it to a native speaker’s pronunciation.
Day 11: Watch an episode of an English TV show with subtitles. Then write down interesting phrases.
Day 12: Practise tongue twisters to improve pronunciation (e.g., “She sells seashells by the seashore”).
Day 13: Join an English conversation group online or talk to a friend in English.
Day 14: Then have a “no native language” day – try to think and speak only in English!

Day 15: Review one common grammar mistake you often make and find an easy way to remember the rule.
Day 16: Write a short diary entry about your day in English.
Day 17: Practise using conditionals (“If I had more time, I would…”). Then write five sentences.
Day 18: Rewrite a short paragraph in a more formal or informal style.

Day 22: Learn an English joke or pun and explain it to someone.
Day 23: Read a short English poem or quote and try to summarise it.
Day 24: Find a menu from an English-speaking country and practise ordering food out loud.
