Adriane motivates students to work on their English by encouraging them to do something fun, such as watching your favorite tv shows and movies and using these fun and relaxing activities to improve your skills in reading, listening, vocabulary, and pronunciation. She says you can accomplish this by repeating subtitles until you're comfortable saying the sentences, yourself. You can also press the mute button and voice the conversations on the screen. She also suggests recording yourselves using your phones for one minute and transcribing (writing down) what you've said so you can check for grammatical mistakes.
