The best way to learn english

Nowadays, we’re living in a world which is in a constant change and we must improve with it if we want to be ready to any situation. In actually, we’re suffering a world crisis and maybe someday we’ll get a job in another country with another language - cause we don’t find it in our country. Languages are really important: they help us to communicate with people; we can share opinions, feelings, desires… But to communicate with people of all over the world, we must know different languages… or maybe only one, an international or universal language!

English is considered an universal or auxiliary language, cause it’s a language meant for communication between people from different nations who don’t share a common native language. Learning English could be difficult to many people. Even if they are taking many classes or if they study really hard, sometimes they don’t know how to face a real situation in which they have to use that new language.

      

And how can we improve our English? Well, I’m gonna tell you some advices based on my experience, so take a pen and a paper and take notes of the best way to learn English:

First advice: When you’ve decided that you’re gonna learn English, you don’t have to think that it’s something that you’ll study by heart. You have to think that learning a language it’s a very interactive activity, and that you can enjoy learning. Don’t worry and relax!

Second advice: Depending on your level, you’ll have to do different activities. For example, if you’re taking classes, you can improve your English at home with some interactive activities of your level (like seeing films in English: at first with subtitles in your language, later with subtitles in English, and at last, only in English, without subtitles). With this advice, you will do an important step: You’ll start to learn real English.

Third advice: Look for some series, films, songs or books that you like a lot. When you have done the 2^nd advice, you can try that. With that advice, you’ll know much more vocabulary in English, you’ll habituate your ears to listen English and you’ll understand conversations, compositions and explanations faster than ever.

Fourth advice: The best way of all to learn English is go to a country which has that language like the official (USA, Britain, Scotland…) and live there for some years, cause you’ll have to talk everybody in English. If you can’t travel (for economic reasons, or others), you have to make a friend who’s English. Doesn’t matter if you make the friend during a trip with your family, in a chat, in an exchange, by facebook or twitter… You must talk to him/her often, and you’ll learn to face real situations, you’ll habituate your ears to real English and you’ll start learn informal English vocabulary.

Fifth advice: Once you have done the four last advices, you’ll be prepared to combine them. I’m sure you’ll learn English really fast if you take classes, study hard grammar and study by heart some difficult vocabulary, listen to songs in English, make an effort and watch movies in English and talk with some English or American friends.

And remember, you have to enjoy what you learn, don’t get angry if you don’t understand something, relax and try it again!
