English Learning Tips
How to learn english. Here some tips for english learning.
Speak without Fear
The
biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their
own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they
will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do this. The
fastest way to learn anything is to do it – again and again until you
get it right. Like anything, learning English requires practice. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.
Use all of your Resources
Even
if you study English at a language school it doesn’t mean you can’t
learn outside of class. Using as many different sources, methods and
tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster. There are many
different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to
only one or two. The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually
anything, but for the language learner it’s perfect.
Surround Yourself with English
The
absolute best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it.
Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to
English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and
television. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more
English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn
and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English.” .
Listen to Native Speakers as Much as Possible
There
are some good English teachers that have had to learn English as a
second language before they could teach it. However, there are several
reasons why many of the best schools prefer to hire native English
speakers. One of the reasons is that native speakers have a natural
flow to their speech that students of English should try to imitate.
The closer ESL / EFL students can get to this rhythm or flow, the more
convincing and comfortable they will become.
Watch English Films and Television
This is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English films (especially those with English
subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech
from the actors. If you listen to the news you can also hear different
accents.
Listen to English Music
Music
can be a very effective method of learning English. In fact, it is
often used as a way of improving comprehension. The best way to learn
though, is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to
and try to read them as the artist sings. There are several good
internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way
you can practice your listening and reading at the same time. And if
you like to sing, fine.
Study As Often As Possible!
Only
by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises,
can you really improve your knowledge of any language.
Record Yourself
Nobody
likes to hear their own voice on tape but like tests, it is good to
compare your tapes from time to time. You may be so impressed with the
progress you are making that you may not mind the sound of your voice
as much.
Listen to English
By
this, we mean, speak on the phone or listen to radio broadcasts,
audiobooks or CDs in English. This is different than watching the
television or films because you can’t see the person that is speaking
to you. Many learners of English say that speaking on the phone is one
of the most difficult things that they do and the only way to improve
is to practice.
Finally
Have fun!
