English in the Big City. How to Make Language a Part of Life? Learning Every Day at Your Own Pace!

This book will help you form, develop, and solidify your skills in understanding spoken English and confident speaking. The material is structured around real life and authentic sources: you tune your "ear" on podcasts and videos, practice pronunciation and intonation through shadowing and karaoke, speak using prepared scripts and in free form, incorporate correspondence and journaling, learn to read without "pain" and write clearly. For motivation – a task wheel, goal bingo, game exercises, and dialogues with AI; for clarity – understandable explanations of grammar and tenses "through situation".
This book is suitable for self-study and lessons with a teacher: each section includes clear instructions, practical assignments, and "keys" for verification. Practice regularly and meaningfully – and English will become a natural part of your life.
Author: Alina Solodkova – founder of a popular blog and a teacher with over 8 years of experience, who organizes the educational process based on immersion in the English language environment.
