INPUT, FEEDBACK, MUSIC, CHAT, DVD, and... can you help me?

Estava pensando em algumas palavras que poderiam te ajudar a falar logo este tal de inglês, aí vieram estas:

INPUT: isto mesmo, precisa ler, escutar músicas que goste, assistir canal de TV "in English", na hora de assistir aquele DVD que locou para o final de semana, brinca de deixar o som e a legenda em inglês, pelo menos por alguns minutinhos, garanto que não vai perder o fio da meada mas vai se acostumando mais ao som, ao ritmo e à escrita. Lembre-se, tudo que fazemos por prazer... é bem melhor!

CHAT: isto mesmo, bata papo, pode ser na net, ao vivo, com sua teacher, mas fale, tecle, sei lá, mas sem preocupação se está 100% gramaticalmente correto. Já percebeu que tem momentos em minhas aulas que não corrijo ninguém? É que o objetivo daqueles minutinhos é, provavelmente, o de desenvolver esta competência estratégica...

MUSIC: Prepare um CD com as músicas que mais gosta, pega na net as letras e dá uma "lidinha" nelas, aí vai escutando, escutando...

FEEDBACK: quer postar algo neste blog mas está com vergonha, como eu entendo que publicar sua carinha aqui e seus comentários já é algo que traz medo, manda pra mim primeiro pelo email, eu te dou algumas dicas, e depois você publica, e eu prometo que não conto para ninguém!!!

E você, tem mais palavrinhas/ dicas para que possamos aprender este tal de inglês mais rápido e melhor? Manda para mim as sugestões!!
