English Learning Strategies6104324
You've been studying English for a couple of years now and for some reason or other you nonetheless can't speak nor understand the language well. Let me be clear, there is no magic pill, there is no simple-to-learn system out there. Certain, there are many on-line courses and all sorts of English learning software available, but you will not attain fluency with these options alone. Learning a second language requires effort and time. The reality is you should dedicate study time outside of class to discover English.
Ideally you have enrolled in a school that offers one and a half hour classes five days a week. In my opinion, this is 1 of the very best methods to start the English language learning process. Hopefully your teachers are native speakers or have accomplished a native level including pronunciation. If your teachers do not teach English in English, discover another school immediately. You are paying to learn English, not hear your native language.
Arrive early so you have some time to speak with your classmates in English. Review any homework with them. Also speak about the lesson using the language and grammar from that lesson. Invite some classmates to go out for coffee after class so you can practice speaking more English.
Begin an expression notebook that you can effortlessly carry in your briefcase, backpack, or purse. In the expression notebook write down expressions from your class. Create complete sentences and questions. Then, when you are commuting, waiting at the doctor's office, or have some down time, pull out the expression notebook and begin reading.
Listen to music in English. Study the lyrics as you listen. Look up any new words in a dictionary. Ask your teacher to explain any expressions you can't figure out. Create these expressions in your expression notebook. Try to memorize the lyrics and sing along without reading them.
Watch Television and movies in English. Use subtitles if you must. Watch the plan once with subtitles and then with out. You can also do this in reverse, watch the plan with out subtitles and then watch it with subtitles. The option is clearly yours.
Use the Internet. There are a plethora of on-line learning activities for ESL learners. You can do on-line lessons, practice for the TOEFL, watch English classes, read a book, and much more.
