There are a lot of way for learning new language but also consolidating to that is important as learning them. I think the best way of consolidating your language is using them frequently.

Today we talked about how can we write problem-solution essay. I think that it could be more enjoyable than writing a cause and effect essay. We're gonna find our articles and we try to solve to these problems. This is an advantage for being more creative.
We listened something about slang and language change. It was interesting topic for me because I think that I should learn some slang words to enhance to my speaking abilities and also to keep up with english culture.
