Welcome to our new Learn English with Cambridge video.

Your first mission for today is to subscribe to the channel if you haven't done it.

The second one is to come with me on this journey.

I will give you three gamification tips that can help you study and learn on your own.

[Gamification {What is it?}.]

"Gamification" is when you take something which is not a game and then add something to make it seem like a game.

It helps to make studying and working easier and more fun.

It isn't totally clear yet?

Don't worry, explorer.

You'll see a couple of examples throughout the video.

[Unlock New Achievements {tip 1}.]

First, set your learning goals.

[To know how to order food perfectly.]

Break the content or topics you need to study to achieve your objectives into learning chunks.

For example, I will need to learn some vocabulary, like food, ways food is cooked, and dietary requirements.

Some useful expressions will help me too, like how to order, how to ask about a dish, or how to ask for the bill.

And some cultural aspects won't be bad at all.

Like, for example, how to tip, and which situations are polite or not when eating in different countries.

Organize them into a graphic, or a map, on a board, or online.

What is more fun to you?

Once you have achieved one learning chunk, and you're sure you understand it, color or mark it.

This will help you see where you are and how far you are from your learning goal.

[Win Points And Get Rewards {tip 2].}

This is a really fun tip because you can get prizes.

You can apply not just if you master a topic you wanted to achieve, but also if you fulfil the number of hours, or books, or exercises you want to work on daily.

For example, my daily goal is to practice at least 15 minutes in Memrise, read an article or a piece of news in English, and to watch one video in(on) YouTube or Instagram on how to improve my pronunciation or speaking skills.

I will set a scored goal per week or month.

Each activity will be worth one star or more.

Every time I finish one activity, I will note the score somewhere - my map of goals or my cell phone.

If I reach the score I had set for the week or the month, I will treat myself by going to a new place or buying something nice.

These will, of course, motivate you, not just with the prize, but with the satisfaction of being able to see how much work and progress you have made.

[Challenge Your High Score {Tip 3}.]

You may probably do this, but if not, make it a habit.

Challenge yourself with a quiz immediately after studying a topic.

You can do it online by looking for quizzes in pages like Kahoot!, or Quizizz and much more, or trying to solve one of your book exercises a specific amount of time.

Congrats, explorers.
