2. 1. Motivation Attitude Persistence (MAP)
Without knowing where you’re going, how will you get there? That’s why you need a good
map and realistic goals. Why are you motivated to study English? The best motivation
for studying English is for the purpose of interacting with the world. What’s your
attitude toward studying English? You need to believe you will succeed & have no
fear doing so. Will you be persistent enough to keep working hard until you reach your
goal? You must be! If you want to achieve excellence in English you have to make a
habit of studying English daily. And remember to be patient. At 119ENG.com we have

English when doing chores, errands, ordering in stores & at restaurants, etc. You can
also keep an English diary. At 119ENG.com we have examples of diary entries for you
to study and get you started on writing your own.
4. Study, Memorize & Review Phrases
You NEED to Study English Phrases NOT individual words. After you learn/study a
new phrase memorize it. Next, write in down right away so you can review it at a later
time. DON’T study or translate grammar or words (if you can) as this will get you
thinking in your Native Language not English. At 119ENG.com we have a lot of phrases,
idioms & phrasal verbs you can use to Study English Phrases.

confidence; confidence gives you the power to speak English easily. You NEED to be
confident speaking English in ANY situation. At 119ENG.com we have a Search Bar
(at the Top Right of every page) so you can practice any English situation you may
encounter.
7. Study Real English
Real English is NOT what you learn in school or in textbooks. Real English is what
