HOW TO LEARN ENGLISH?





Here are some tips which may help you to master the English Language!

1.Speak without Fear

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.

2.Use all of your Resources

Using as many different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster. The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect.

3.Surround Yourself with English

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.”.

4.Listen to Native Speakers as Much as Possible

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.

5.Watch English Films and Television

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. 

6.Listen to English Music

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. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time.

7.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.

8.Do Exercises and Take Tests

One of the best reasons for doing lots of exercises and tests is that they give you a benchmark to compare your future results with. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing. Start now by doing some of the many exercises and tests on this site, and return in a few days to see what you've learned. Keep doing this and you really will make some progress with English.

9.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.

10.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.

11.Finally

Have fun! :D
