Everyone knows that if you don’t practice a foreign language, you just forget it with time. There are so many unconventional and interesting ways that can not only help you remember what you’ve learnt, but also help you improve your knowledge. Here are 13 fun methods.
1. Teach your kids, relatives or friends to speak English.
Start teaching your children or your friend who doesn’t speak English at all. It will not only help you remember and structure the knowledge in your head, but will also teach you something new. When you will prepare for the next lesson, you will search for something interesting to make this lesson fun. It will help you to jog your memory and your kids or friend to learn a bit of English.
2. Sign up for daily news in English.
Sign up for different resources in English (notes, articles, idioms, saying of the day, etc.). Thus, you will see and read some English every day so you cannot but remember it.
3. Listen to English radio or TV programs in the background while you are doing your anything.
Even if you don’t actually sit and listen to what they are saying, English language on the background is still helpful to learn and remember. Just turn the Radio, TV or an Internet broadcast on and do your regular things like cleaning, doing homework, etc.
4. Play English language learning games.
Such games can be very helpful. Besides, they are fun you don’t feel like studying at all.
5. Read comic books in English with many various dialogues.
Diversify your studying with reading comic books, fun stories, etc. full of dialogues!
6. Write a diary in English.
Start writing your thoughts, feelings and observations down in English. It can be a blog or just a small notebook. If you have the time, make detailed notes about your life: the description of your day, your trips, fun weekends, the movie you saw yesterday, the concert you want to visit etc. Write in English as often as you can.
7. Write a film, an album or a book review.
Leave your comments, feedback or reviews on different movies, books, games, songs on the Internet. It is another way to practice expressing your thoughts in English.
8. Sing karaoke in English.
Singing songs helps working on your pronunciation and speaking skills. So go ahead!
9. Online chat.
There are lots of online chats where people can communicate in English. There are also many of them for English learners. Sign in for a couple of those and find friends around the world to practice English with.
10. Learn a poem in English by heart.
Learning poems in English will not only help you with your learning, but will also keep your memory in shape.
11. Read aloud and record your own voice.
Read small stories aloud and record it. Listening to these records will help you hear your mistakes and work on them.
12. Topic of the day.
Choose different topics every day and try to learn as many words on this topic as you can. I have a friend who works with English all the time; she teaches foreigner students learn English and she writes English papers for EssayJedii.com. And she always gives her students topics of the day saying that it is very effective.
13. Write down your every-day tasks in English.
Make your shopping lists and to-do lists in English. It is also quite an effective way to learn new words and to jog your memory.
Learn English with pleasure!

No. 3 is my favorite, listening to English while doing anything, even though I couldn't understand it 100 percent, You will use to get absorbed on the sounds of English, its helpful for understanding oral and as well as your unconsciously learning the pronunciation.
