Even just five minutes a day can make a big difference.
If you’re learning English, you’ve probably been told to “practice every day.” But some days, it’s hard to know what to do. That’s where AI tools can help. With the right prompts, you can practice in simple, low-stress ways that fit into your daily routine without cracking open a heavy and complicated textbook.
Here are five easy English AI prompts you can use to build your skills:
- Ask for a short conversation
Prompt: Can we have a short conversation about _____?
Fill in the topic with anything you’re interested in such as food, music, travel, or pets. For example:
Ex. Can we have a short conversation about my favorite meal?
The AI will ask you questions and keep the conversation going. You can even ask it to correct your grammar along the way.
- Get feedback on your writing
Prompt: Correct this message and explain my mistakes in simple English.
Write a short paragraph or message, then use the prompt above. You’ll not only see the corrected version, but also learn why something was incorrect. This helps you improve over time, not just memorize answers.
- Learn new vocabulary
Prompt: Teach me a few new words related to ____.
Choose a topic like travel, business, emotions, or daily life. For example:
Ex. Teach me a few new words related to airports, and use them in example sentences.
This is a quick way to build vocabulary that feels useful.
- Practice with a quiz
Prompt: Can you quiz me with a few easy English questions?
This is a great prompt for reviewing grammar or vocabulary.
You can make it specific:
Ex. Can you quiz me on past tense verbs?
Or keep it broad:
Ex. Give me a multiple-choice quiz about animals.
The AI will give you questions, check your answers, and explain anything you get wrong.
- Try a real-life role play
Prompt: Let’s role play a situation where I need to speak English.
Pretend you’re ordering food, asking for directions, or booking a hotel room.
Ex. Let’s role play a situation where I’m at the airport and my flight is delayed.
This helps you get comfortable using English in everyday situations.
