What Does it Take to Learn English Well

            Learning English requires action. You may know all the tips of studying, but if you do not start doing it, you will nothing results. The fact is that, if you want to learn to speak English well, you should change the (way) of your life. Here are some example of what it should do :

·         Read a book written in English for an hour every day, by analyzing the grammar in sentences and looking up difficult words in an English dictionary.

·         Listen to the audiobook or other  records in English, listen it over  and over again, and try to understand  what is being said, and then try to imitate the speakers pronuncation.

·         Spend little time in the afternoon by practicing pronuncation of English sounds, especially “r”.

·         Write an e-mail or messages in English. Carefully use a dictionary or a web search every 20 seconds to make sure that every word is true, and also for five minutes to make a sentence.

·         Think of the sentence that you have read, think about whether he can be spoken with “a”  and not “the” in the sentence, and try to find similar sentences on the Web to find out the answer.

·         Walk on the street and try make a simple sentence in English in your mind ( talk to yourself in English about things that you see around ).

In learning and teaching English as a foreign language, problem that often faced is all English learners want to speak English better, which are most them do not want to spend their time to learn English independently. ( perhaps this thing causes them to follow the courses and hope their teachers will inject knowledge into their brains )

Low motivation means the students basically do not spend their time learning English independently, or even if they do, they do not that on a regular basis. For example, an ordinary student might learn phrasal verbs in English for 12 hours before an English exam. However, he will not read a book in English for 30 minutes every day. He did not feel that learning Engish was pretty fun, so he would do so if he was forced. The problem is a big effort which done once will not give any results, on the other hand, small effort, which is done from day to day activity will provide great benefits.

People who enjoy the English language will have a better memory

If you enjoying learning English, you will spend more time with it. Do regularly. High motivation will provide additional benefits. It will easier to you to remember the words and new grammatical structures. The reason is your brain will easy to remember the things you like. ( For example, some people like history and know everything about World War II.if you ask “ other people “ to remember these facts, they can never remember). So be fun in learning English. It will give you a double benefit. (posted by susanti)
