How to improve your English

Remember that learning a language is a gradual process - it does not happen overnight.Define your learning objectives early: What do you want to learn and why?Make learning a habit. Try to learn something every day. It is much better to study (or read, or listen to English news, etc.) 10 minutes each day than to study for 2 hours once a week.Remember to make learning a habit! If you study each day for 10 minutes English will be constantly in your head. If you study once a week, English will not be as present in your mind.Choose your materials well. You will need reading, grammar, writing, speaking and listening materialsVary your learning routine. It is best to do different things each day to help keep the various relationships between each area active. In other words, don't just study grammar.Find friends to study and speak with. Learning English together can be very encouraging.Choose listening and reading materials that relate to what you are interested in. Being interested in the subject will make learning more enjoyable - thus more effective.Relate grammar to practical usage. Grammar by itself does not help you USE the language. You should practice what you are learning by employing it actively.Move your mouth! Understanding something doesn't mean the muscles of your mouth can produce the sounds. Practice speaking what you are learning aloud. It may seem strange, but it is very effective.Be patient with yourself. Remember learning is a process - speaking a language well takes time. It is not a computer that is either on or off!Communicate! There is nothing like communicating in English and being successful. Grammar exercises are good - having your friend on the other side of the world understand your email is fantastic!Use the Internet. The Internet is the most exciting, unlimited English resource that anyone could imagine and it is right at your finger tips.

  • Hi Millas:
    I think you are right... I totally agree with you..I faced some of them.If the teacher becomes bored or apathetic, students will too. Typically, a teacher's enthusiasm comes from confidence, excitement about the content, and genuine pleasure in teaching. If he\she feels uninterested in the material, they should think back to what attracted them to the field and bring those aspects of the subject matter to life for their students.
    Thanks Millas..

    That is a real and effective way of learning,But I found some teachers are not concern of upgrading themselves , even they lack of some part of the English language grammar.They teach as they read without their own influence (i.e. lack of known what they are teaching).
