If your Slavic lady is keen to improve her English so that she can communicate with you better in the long term (communication is the key to a successful marriage), this article will give you the right information right now.

  • Work on her weaknesses and maintain her strengths.

After living in an English-speaking country for a while, your Slavic lady will know which components are her weaknesses, and which components are her strengths in terms of English language skills.  For instance, if writing is her weakness, she will find a way to work on it (buy a book on writing and study this area; find a tutor who can teach her writing or can give her feedback on her essays).  If reading is her weakness, she will find a solution to this problem (learn some reading skills; read as much as possible).  If listening is her weakness, she will figure out a way to improve her listening skills (learn some techniques and strategies; practice listening as often as she can).  If speaking is her weakness, she will strategize her approach to speaking.

If your Slavic lady is not good at speaking, she would know it based on the feedback from people around her.  Alternatively, she can record her voice and listen to it by herself!  Or ask someone who can help to listen to her!

Your Slavic lady need to spend a few months working on her weakness(es).  If she has more than one weakness, she will need more time.  As to how much time she really needs, it depends on her specific circumstances such as how weak her weaknesses are and how much time she can spend studying English every day.

Meanwhile, don’t forget to maintain her strengths by doing some practice in those areas each day as well.

  • Do ten practice English language tests to measure her progress.

In order to create a sense of urgency, I’d like to encourage your Slavic lady to sit the IELTS test which will help her improve her English and get a professional job in an English-speaking country. (International English Language Testing System = IELTS)

She will mark her own tests according to the suggested answers at the end of each practice tests book.  Then she will also write down every mistake she has made in each practice test in her journal (include how to improve as well).  Use a blue pen to write down each mistake; use a red pen to write down how to improve.

Usually, after a period of intensive study, her weaknesses should have been improved.

If your Slavic lady is a bit concerned that she may not improve certain areas due to ineffective approaches to strengthening her weaknesses, then she may even hire a private tutor.  In this way, she will see whether her methods of improving her weaknesses work well or not, so she can re-calibrate her approaches accordingly.  Of course, if you are a very helpful husband, you can help her in this regard as well.
