🔤 English from Zero (ESL) · Lesson 8 of 8
What’s next
A plan to keep learning, by age.
A daily 15-minute plan
- 5 minutes: listen (a song, a cartoon, a podcast for learners)
- 5 minutes: read (a short story or the reading passages on this site)
- 5 minutes: speak (describe your day out loud, or talk with someone)
- Once a week: write 5 sentences about your week
For kids
Picture books, simple cartoons with English subtitles, songs, and games. Our Stories and Reading pages have short texts by grade. Read together with a parent and talk about the pictures.
For adults
Public libraries in the US often have free ESL classes and conversation groups. Community colleges offer low-cost ESL courses. Watch shows with English subtitles (not your language), and keep a notebook of new words.
