Catch up with / on your English!!!

On holiday we always have extra time for what we really enjoy doing.
- Try to find a few minutes a day to catch up on those aspects of your learning you feel weaker at.
- Or devote more time to that specific topic / field you want to know more about...
- Or just re-read that post / note you weren't able to find time for earlier in the year.
- Buy an English magazine dealing with a topic you're interested in or get a novel you feel like reading or re-reading (in English).
- Download the lyrics of your favourite songs (and sing along!)
- Listen to the English news (BBC or SkyNews ...)

Do post comments with other suggestions you might find useful to review and share them with your mates!!!
