9 Ways to Learn English at Home in Your Pajamas

1. Watch TV

"The Simpsons"

You know all about "The Simpsons" already, right? Who doesn't?

This long-running animated comedy is famous all over the world, and takes us through the ups and downs of a dysfunctional American family.

Not only is it hilariously funny and culturally important, but it deals with aspects of day-to-day life like school, work and socializing.

It's also fantastic for slang words and cultural references. The main characters are Homer Simpson, a rather clueless and fun-loving safety inspector in the local nuclear power plant; his wife, Marge; and their three children. There's also an enormous number of supporting characters!

FluentU 3

"Friends"

You've probably heard of this popular American situation comedy about a group of six friends living in Manhattan.

Since the show went on for many years, it's exciting to watch their lives and relationships with each other change. The friends themselves are all very different people. Rachel is trendy and fun, Ross is geeky and shy and Phoebe is sweet and slightly crazy!

Their English is very casual and relaxed, so watching this is a must if you want to practice sounding natural. It's also available with subtitles and in other languages.

Still need inspiration for more video resources? Check out FluentU. FluentU has a huge collection of English video clips taken from real-world sources like music videos, TV shows, "The Hunger Games" trailers, news and inspiring talks.

These videos become unique English lessons for every user. Choose videos that work with your learning style, English level and personal interests, and we'll recommend more videos just for you!

It's a great way to figure out what kinds of English language videos help you learn best. Plus, FluentU provides plenty of tools to actively practice your English vocabulary and grammar, like interactive subtitles, flashcards, vocabulary lists and more.

2. Keep a Diary or Blog in English

Writing can be a very creative and relaxing activity. Keeping a diary or blog in English is the best way to get regular writing practice. As well as sharpening up your grammar skills, writing will also improve your ability to use everyday English.

You could be writing about your disappointing rainy vacation or the exciting baseball game you watched on TV--it's up to you!

Of course, you can write entries as often as you want. Even writing one entry
