Second Day of Intense Study

Today is the second day of my little challenge: I am going to improve my English skills from B1 to C1 in 60 days. Today I am intence practiced vocabulary and reading. I am not sure what I should say today. While I listened podcast I always thinked about something sweet because I was really hungry. The main part of podcast for me was about using singular they/their. I've been interested how I should use that a long time. So now I got a answer on all my questions. I have hard with vocabulary because I don't know what the better way of learning new words. I wonder, can somebody give me an advice in it?

Second Day of Intense Study

Today is the second day of my little challenge: I am going to improve my English skills from B1 to C1 in 60 days.

Today I am intencesely practiceding vocabulary and reading.

If you mean that today is a day where you intend to focus on these two areas, then the past tense can be avoided and the above correction sounds natural.

I am not sure what I should say today.

While I listened to a podcast, I always thinkedrepeatedly thought about something sweet because I was really hungry.

the clause with "while" can go after "hungry" without a comma, or it can go at the beginning with a comma like I added. Also, "always" sounds like it is still happening or like it happened a long time ago and then stopped when enough time went by. For example:

I always drive carefully.

When I was little, I always had a night light.

The main part of the podcast for me was about using the singular they/their.

Before, it was "a podcast" because it was unspecified and it was being introduced for the first time.

Now, it is "the podcast" because the reader knows that you are referring to the same one as earlier. "The podcast" means if someone asks "which podcast?" we could tell them "the one already mentioned above."

I've been interested how I should use that for a long time, so now I got an answer to all my questions.

The phrase is "for a long time." Alternatively, "since a long time ago."

you could also say "for all my"

you could also say "all of my questions"

Also, "a" is used when the next word doesn´t start with a vowel sound. "An" is used when the next word begins with a vowel sound. For example:

I ate an apple.

I ate a banana.

So now I got a answer on all my questions.

"So" is used here as a conjunction, so it needs to be attached to another clause in the same sentence. If you didn´t want to combine the sentences, you could also say something like this:

Now I got an answer to all of my questions.

I have a hard time with vocabulary because I don't know what is the bestter way of learning new words.

The phrase is "to have a hard time."

- I have a hard time, she has a hard time, we have a hard time, et cetera.

- "better" compares at least two choices. When you mean "the optimal choice" or "the choice with the highest benefits," "best" is used.

I wonder, can somebody give me an advice ion ithat?

It is hard to explain why "in" doesn´t work here in this way. Some examples:

1. give me advice for that
2. give me advice with that
3. give me advice on that
4. give me advice in that area

all would be acceptable

also, advice is not usually used like a single thing. You might see "give me a piece of advice," but otherwise it is just "give me advice" or "give me some advice" or something like that

Feedback

Clearly written. I wish you the best with this goal!

I don´t know the best advice for vocabulary, but I think there´s consensus that these are good ideas:

1. our vocabulary will grow naturally if we read a variety of texts and study new terms they present
2. it is best to practice vocabulary that has a meaningful context (read/write/speak the words in sentences, paragraphs, books, et cetera.)
3. prereading texts for technical or noticeably difficult terms can help
4. using context clues can help
5. understanding morphology can help (for example, knowing certain Latin roots and/or affixes)
6. images, visual representations, and mnemonic devices can help as well

Memorizing word meanings in isolation isn´t nearly as good as memorizing what words mean because we keep reading/hearing/writing them over and over in stories, conversations, movies, et cetera.

I keep a list of digital flashcards with important terms. If I come across a word or phrase and I can't figure out what it means without a dictionary, I'll add it to my deck of digital cards.

thank you so much!

Today I am intencesely practiced vocabulary and reading.

I made the smallest adjustment to make it grammatically correct there.

While I listened to a podcast I alwayskept thinkeding about something sweet because I was really hungry.

"While I listened" is specific to a single event while always covers a much larger scope, so they don't go well together.

The main part of the podcast for me was about using singular they/their.

I've been interested in how I should use that a long time.

So now I got a answer ton all my questions.

I have hardtrouble with vocabulary because I don't know what thea better way of learning new words.

"hard" is an adjective and you need a noun after "I have here".

I wonder, can somebody give me an advice ion it?

advice is uncountable, so you don't say "an advice" or "advices".

Today is the second day of my little challenge: I am going to improve my English skills from B1 to C1 in 60 days.

Today, I am intence practiced vocabulary and readingsely reading and practising using new vocabulary.

I am not sure what I should say today.

While I was listeneding to a podcast, I alwayswas constantly thinkeding about something sweet because I was really hungry.

"Always" is used for habitual actions. When speaking about one time, you would instead use "constantly" or "repeatedly."

The main paroint of the podcast for me was about usinghow to use the singular "they/"/"their."

I've been interested how I shouldin knowing how to use that for a long time.

So now I gothave an answer ton all my questions.

"got" is not wrong, just more colloquial/slang/not as proper

I have hard a hard time with vocabulary because I don't know what the betterof a good way tof learning new words.

Another option is saying "my vocabulary"

I wonder, can somebody give me any advice in it?

To increase your vocabulary, watch movies with subtitles on, read books, watch Youtube with subtitles on, etc. Pick a topic that interests you and you will naturally learn more words and phrases.

Today is the second day of my little challenge: I am going to improve my English skills from B1 to C1 in 60 days.

Today I am intencesely practiceding vocabulary and reading.

I am not sure what I should say today.

While I listened to a podcast I always thinkeding about something sweet because I was really hungry.

"While I [past tense verb], I [past tense] (+ {optional present tense verb}...)" is the basic structure.

Examples:
"While I [thought] about that podcast, I [was] {listening} to..." (Means the same as: "While I thought about the podcast, I listened to..." or "I listened to XX while I thought about that podcast.")
"While I [ran], I [thought] about {going} to the baseball game." (Also: "While I ran, I thought." or "I thought about going to the baseball game while I ran.") ('going to the baseball game' can be left out if the additional information isn't necessary')
"While I [ate], I [decided] I to go {swimming} today." (Same as: "While I ate, I decided." or, more naturally, "I decided while I ate." or "I decided to go swimming while I ate.")
"While I cleaned, I was singing." (Same as: "While I cleaned, I sang." or, more naturally, "I sang while I cleaned.")

The continuous present tense verb can be
1) Combined with the second past tense verb to become past tense itself for the same meaning ("While I ate, I drank.")
2) Only provides additional context for the second verb and can be left out entirely. ("While I ate, I thought." For situations where what the speaker thought about is only implied or otherwise not explicitly stated.)

The mainost important part of the podcast, for me, was about using singular they/their.

I've been interested in how I should use thatit for a long time.

More natural: "I've been wondering how that worked for a long time." / "I've been wondering how it worked for a long time."

So now I got ahave the answer ton all my questions.

Good job! Just a bit of grammar tweaking, but fully understandable!

For advice...Everyone is different, so you need to do what's best for you, but if I had to offer general advice:

I recommend a flashcard app called "Anki" for vocabulary. It should be totally free on any computer and for android phones. (If it tells you to pay for it, it's fake.) It's really popular and good for memorization. Set it up for FSRS in the deck options, and as you study normally, just put any words that seem useful or that you're struggling with into the deck. There are a lot of tutorials for it if you're confused! (Many tutorials are also in English, so it can double as practice!)

Otherwise the thing that helps vocabulary the most, in my opinion, is just reading a lot. You're at a level where simple books and some games should be manageable in English with a little patience. Getting through some of those will likely help your vocabulary a ton.
