For Everybody

LISTENING

-          Listening to the radio.

-          Watch movies, choose ones with subtitles.

-          Watch English TV, choose program that you would enjoy in your own language but remember that much of what your hear on TV is slang.

-          Use internet listening resources: everyday listen to English online.

SPEAKING AND PRONUNCIATION

-          Talk to yourself. Talk about anything and everything. Do it in the privacy of own home. If you can’t do this at frist, try reading oout loud untill you feel comfortable hearing your own voice in English.

-          Record your own voice. This might feel very comfortable, but it will help you find your weak pronunciationpoints. Listen to yourself a few days later. Which counds do you have difficulty hearing?

-          Participate in class.

-          Understand the sounds that your language doesn’t have. For example, many language don’t have the “r” sound. These sounds require extra practice.

-          Recognize that teachers are trained to understand you. When you get out into the real world. Average people will have a more difficult time understanding you unless pratise speaking slowly and with proper pronunciation.

-          Practise minimal pairs, study word and sentence stress, learn common idioms.

READING AND VOCABULARY

-          Read something everyday: Children’s books, simplified readers (Penguin), newspapers, magazines, internet sites, novels, and much more …

-          Read what interests you: Remember that you learn better when you’re having fun.

-          Read at the appropriate level: you want to learn new vocabulary, but you also want to understand what you are reading. If you are looking up every word, the reading is too difficult.

-          Always an English – English dictionary nearby.

-          Record vocabulary in a personal dictionary: keep this notebook separate from other work, record vocabulary in alphabetical order.

WRITING AND SPELLING

-          Keep a diary/journal: Don’t always pay attendion to grammar. Free-writing can be very useful. It can show you that writing is fun. Have fun with the language.

-          Write emails in English: Stay in contact with teachers or other students.

-          Rewrite your local news in English: This is another exercise that can be done on a daily basis. Remember that regular activities are the best ones.

-          Learn important spelling rules: Remember, you won’t always have a dictionary or a spell-checker handy, especially when you are writing a test. Even native English speakers need to review the spelling rules from time to time.

-          Learn commonly misspelled words, learn common English errors.

This is my way may be useful for everybody improve English and hope you use English good in your life!

Many people said with me : “ difficult to study English, what’s way talk to foreigner if you don’t know English?”.

According to my friend: “learning a new language is like learning a whole new way of communicating. And it really is because no matter how similar two languages may be, their differences always outnumber their similarities. When one learns a new language, he or she not only learns a new way to communicate through writing, reading and speaking, but also it is very often a new way of thinking. But with anything, perfection comes with practice, so no matter how much difficulty i have in learning a new language, i can always overcome them with time and practice”.
