This just a simple method by me because I also want to enhance my english ability further. So, here are the ways that I want to share with you:

1. Read english news, e.g. sport, economics, or other interesting topic for you. Try to read just 1 interesting news per day. Duration: 5 minutes.
2. Listen 1 of your favorite song every day. Try to catch every single word. Duration: 10 minutes.
3. Listen english news via youtube, BBC, or another online source. Once again, try to catch every single word. Duration: 10 minutes.
4. Speak what you have done during the day before you sleep. Don’t be confuse about grammar. The purpose is just to get you used to speak in english. Try to speak at least 6 sentences (what, who, when, where, why, and how). Duration: 5 minutes.
5. Speak what you will do in that day after wake up. Once again. Just speak it slowly and consider to tell about 6 things: what, who, when, where, why, and how. Duration: 5 minutes.

So, with just a 35-minute training, I hope we can get used to english in our life. Remember, we can understand bahasa indonesia well enough not because we study the language, but because speaking in bahasa indonesia already become our habit. Literally, it applies the same terms and conditions for understanding english language.
