How to make best use of these language highlights

Don’t try and learn them all, as if learning poetry or rules.

First, just make a mental note of them.

Then the next time you speak English, start to use them mindfully.

For example, select one and focus on it exclusively in every conversation until you get it right.

Once you have mastered it, move on to the next.

The point is not to feel overwhelmed. If you master just one from each session, you are already winning.

You can always practice more highlights later, and focus on each until you master them.

(If you are able, you could try and master one grammar and one pronunciation highlight after each session.)

Enjoy!
