Diskusi-diskusi singkat ini bisa jadi memberi semangat Anda untuk lebih menggali materi-materi bahasa Inggris karena Anda telah memiliki rekan belajar. Namun, jika Anda tidak memiliki teman diskusi di kantor, Anda bisa mencarinya di luar kantor atau di lingkungan tempat tinggal Anda. Kalau sudah hafal bahasa Inggrisnya, anda juga bisa meminta orang lain untuk mendiktekan nama-nama bulan dalam bahasa Inggris, kemudian anda menulis atau menyebutkan bahasa inggris nya. Sekali lagi, ulangi langkah-langkah diatas sampai anda benar-benar menguasai nama dan cara pengucapan nya dalam bahasa Inggris.
