A few self-directed exercises build real progress with English's specific difficulties, even before a structured course exists.
Build a running deck of common English words that don't follow regular spelling-to-sound rules, and drill them until recognition is instant — this targets exactly the words that slow reading down the most.
For each phrasal verb you learn, write its meaning next to it as a single unit ("give up = quit"), and use it in one full sentence — treating it as one vocabulary item rather than two separate words.
Pick a short clip of natural spoken English, listen once, then listen again while repeating it aloud in real time, matching rhythm and reduced forms as closely as you can — this builds both listening and speaking together.
A running sight-word flashcard deck, drilled until recognition is instant — this targets exactly the high-frequency irregular words that slow reading down the most.
Write the phrasal verb's combined meaning next to it as a single unit and use it in a full example sentence, treating it as one vocabulary item rather than two separate words.
Listening to a short natural-speech clip and repeating it aloud in real time, matching rhythm and reduced forms — it builds listening and speaking skill together rather than separately.
That's the plan, mirroring the vocabulary, listening, and matching practice modes already in Tarc's existing courses.
