2) 15 minutes a day is better than zero minutes a day: even if
you spend 15 minutes a day doing something as simple as listening
or reading, it will help your overall skill. Of course the longer
you study the better you get but... a little is better than nothing.
3) reward yourself: after studying stand up and look at what you've
done and feel good about it! Then reward yourself with something
a little special, it can be as simple as a cookie or a nice warm
bath. Why is this such an effective technique? If you can link
the feelings of studying English with the feelings of pleasure
and a feeling of accomplishment wound you will be more likely
to study in the future.
