Many adult learners believe that mastering English requires hours of uninterrupted study every day. In practice, long sporadic study sessions are far less effective than short, daily micro-habits sustained over weeks and months.
Consistency beats intensity: A 15-minute daily English practice routine creates continuous brain exposure and prevents skill decay.
