Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking are all
important,
and put together they add up to just one thing,
knowing the language!
Question: How did you learn your own language?
Answer: By
listening and repeating...
Question: How can I learn English?
Answer: By
listening and repeating...
If you are learning English with a native teacher,
then just listen and repeat whatever your teacher tells you.
If you are here because you are teaching yourself – then read on.
Some
things that you should do…
- Study and practise the FREE lessons
on this site.
- Talk to as many people as you can, whenever you can,
about anything.
- Don’t be embarrassed, it’s O.K. to make mistakes.
- Learn phonetics first and practise the pronunciation
of each
word.
- Don't try to learn English from movie subtitles. The
translation is not exact and you
won't learn the language correctly.
- Check your mouth positions
and watch yourself
speaking in a mirror.
- Study only the basics of grammar, leave the advanced
stuff until later.
- Leave the difficult vocabulary and verb conjugations
for later.
- Learn phrases, not just single words.
- Practice repeating the phrases to be found here at
ESL Fast Robot.
- Try not to translate into your own language. Remember
each sentence in
English
by putting a picture into your mind. Try to 'see' the words in
pictures.
- Practice one phrase a day, and repeat it to yourself
over and over again.
- Listen
to as much English as you possibly can, and repeat what you hear.
- Make audio recordings of yourself speaking
in English. When you
listen to
them,
make a note of the words that sound different from the ones
that
you have learned.
- Practice each of these words again and again
until you get them right.
