  1. First of all you have to know how to read and speak primitive English. Just try to start as soon as you can. To keep in touch with the language is, maybe, the most important step on learning any language.
  2. Learning English requires a lot of practice, so don't wait! Try borrowing some books from a friend and try to talk with your friends that have better skills than you do in English, even if you're in a country which the native language is not English.
  3. Grammar is important, but the only way to fix all those rules in your mind is through conversation. Don't ever forget that!
  4. Many languages have similar rules, but remember: When learning a language, use Translation only in the beginning! If you use translation a lot, this might become an addiction, which won't let you to THINK in English. Thinking in the language is mandatory, after a certain point.
  5. Get a bunch of books written for young people. They use to be in plain English and it's a good way to start, before reading any more complex books.

Tips

  • Try to speak English as much and as often as possible.
  • Reading books is a good way to improve your English. When reading, read them aloud, so you can practice your pronunciation. Remember that books are, maybe, the best teachers you'll ever get! They give you new vocabulary, practice your grammar(since you see a lot of sentences, this helps you to memorize the rules) and give you more control of the language.
  • Watching TV and listening to the talk back radio will effectively improve your English. Watching the news is a good way to start, because most of the journalists speak very clearly, without strong accents.
  • Read, read, read. The more you read the better your English will be. Through reading you acquire new vocabulary without even realizing.
  • Whenever possible read aloud. This way you will improve your pronunciation

    • Warnings

    • Learning English requires a lot of practice and determination, so don't try to learn everything at once, but don't ever give up!
    • Remember that the hardest part on learning English is to get the correct pronunciation, since the grammar is very easy, in comparison to other languages.
    • English, much like French, is unfortunately one of the hardest languages in the world to learn because of all the silent letters in words. It makes it complicated. But don't give up!

     

    Things You'll Need

    • A bilingual dictionary in the beginning and an English-English dictionary further on.
    • A Thesaurus to improve your vocabulary.
    • To surround yourself with English. This is very important!!
    • Motivation! Keep trying and you'll be able to learn! :)
