HOW TO LEARN ENGLISH

1. Speak a little English every day. The absolute best way to learn any new language is just to
speak it. It doesn't matter if you only know five English words or if you're practically fluent --
speaking English with another person is the fastest, most effective method of improving.

 Don't wait until you "feel more comfortable" speaking in English -- you probably won't
reach that level for a long time, so push yourself outside of your comfort zone and start speaking
English today. You' ll be amazed at how quickly your language skills improve.
 Find a native English speaker who is willing to spend some time speaking English with
you -- you may be able to offer them a language exchange, where they spend 30 minutes
speaking English with you and you spend 30 minutes speaking your native language with them.
 If you live in an English-speaking country, you can practice by starting simple
conversations with the people you meet, whether it's saying "hello" to a shopkeeper or asking a
stranger for directions.

2. Carry a dictionary. Carrying an English dictionary with you at all times (whether it's an actual
book or a phone app) can be very useful.

 Having a dictionary means that you will never be stuck for a word. It can save you a lot
of embarrassment if you're having a conversation with an English-speaker and forget a word in
the middle of the sentence -- all you have to do is take a second to look it up!
 Aside from saving you awkwardness, looking up the word you need then immediately
using it in a sentence will actually help you to commit the new vocabulary to memory.
 It is also helpful to have a dictionary to peruse throughout the day during private
moments, like when you're sitting on the train, waiting to cross the street or just having a cup of
coffee. You could learn an extra 20 to 30 English words per day using this technique!
 As a beginner, you should start with an English dictionary that provides definitions in
your native language. However, once your language skills improve, you should switch to using an
English-English dictionary, which provides English definitions for English words.

Study with others. Take an actual English class or find a small group of other English students to
practice with. Studying the language with other people will allow you to learn from each other.

Formal English classes work well because they are led by professional teachers. Trust your
English instructor. Don't be afraid to make mistakes or ask questions; correcting you and
answering those questions is part of your instructor's job.
 When learning English informally, try to work in small groups instead of large groups. Smaller
crowds may make you feel more comfortable and less embarrassed.

Keep practicing. Be patient. Learning English easily does not mean that you will learn the
language quickly. Take as much time as you need to understand the language instead of trying
to speed through the learning process.

Practice consistently. If you do not study or review past lessons on a regular basis, you might
forget about the information you learned. Regular practice is the only way to remember
English on a long-term basis.
3. Don't be discouraged about how long the process takes. No one can fluently speak or write
English after only studying for a few months, and you will probably need to study for at least
one or two years before you can hold conversations in English. It will probably take an even
longer amount of ti

 8. Listen to English music. Listen to music with English lyrics. Find a few favorite English songs and
continuing listening to those songs until you understand the meaning of each one.
 If you don't know where to find English music, look for an English radio station that streams
online. Check YouTube and other video websites for English music videos. Learn who some of
the most popular English musicians within your favorite genre (pop music, rock music, etc.)
and find several of their songs.

9. Watch videos, shows, and movies in English. Watch the characters' actions to help yourself
understand the context behind the English they speak. You can also turn on subtitles in your
native language to help yourself follow along, but turn them off if the subtitles prevent you from
focusing on the English words you're listening to.

 Listen to English podcasts, especially podcasts designed to help people learning English as a
foreign or second language.
 Watch the "Top Videos" on YouTube or other video hosting websites with English content.
 Visit websites that legally host free episodes of English shows and watch a few. Try to
understand who the characters are and what the show is about.
