Summer break is here — finally! Maybe you’ve been catching up on sleep, enjoying some sunshine, or even traveling. But now that June is coming to an end, it’s the perfect moment to think about how you want to use your time in July.

July is the perfect time to refocus your energy and stay on track with your full-time English studies. Whether you’ve just started at Amlotus or you’re continuing your academic journey, this new month is a fresh chance to grow — in the classroom, in your habits, and in your confidence. With a clear plan and the right mindset, you can make this summer your most productive yet.

Let’s talk about how to set simple, meaningful learning goals for the new month (without the stress).

☕ Step One: Pause and Reflect

Before setting any new goals, take a moment to think about how your learning has gone so far. Ask yourself:

• What’s one thing I’m proud of from this month?
  
  
• Where did I struggle?
  
  
• Is there a skill I want to focus on more?
  
  

You don’t need to write a long report. Just take a few minutes to think — or better, try journaling your thoughts in English. It’s a great way to practice writing and stay honest with yourself.

🌱 Step Two: Set One or Two Realistic Goals

You don’t need a long list. In fact, it’s better to keep things simple.

Here are a few ideas:

• “I want to learn 5 new vocabulary words every day.”
  
  
• “I’ll watch one English video every night before bed.”
  
  
• “I want to join a conversation group this month.”
  
  

Just one or two goals like these can completely change your learning this summer. And the best part? You can do them from anywhere — your home, your favorite park, or while traveling.
