TIPS TO LEARN ENGLISH FASTER

Hello again :) For all posts I wrote about different things, and for this I chose tips for learn English faster. I hope so you will like it.


1. Take a deep breath and speak
The more you think about speaking, the more nervous you'll get. Yust try speaking more. For example, you can speak with your friends or roommates. Or just you can argue or talk with your siblings if you don't want you parents to understand.

2. Don't apologize for not knowing everything or "Not speaking English!" You are learning English. 
You don't say "I don't know how to cook that." and stop cooking new things. You just keep doing your best and you learn more and more as time goes on. Don't say "I don't speak English." Instead you could say:
- "I am learning English. Could you speak a little slower?"
- "I'm sorry, I didn't understand."
- "Could you repeat that?"
- "What does ____ mean?"

3. Stop translating everything word for word to your native language. If you are doing it, STOP right now. 
 Translating everything is slowing down your progress. If you hear something in English and instantly try to translate it to your native language; you will not be focusing on learning English, but rather translating. When you hear people speaking in English you should listen for words you DO understand or use contextual clues.

4. Try your ears to understand
You need to focus and listen. Train your ears to listen for words that you know in English. listen for patterns. Don't focus on grammar or single words. Focus on the phrases. Listen to English movies, music, and TV. Listen to the way things are phrased or ordered. If you train your ears, you will automatically start to understand more when people speak English.

5. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Fear can stop you from learning English.
Stop being so afraid to speak English! You need to let go and relax. You need to stop thinking of the "What if's..?" Instead focus on doing and your actions. No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. The more you do something the better you get at it. To be a better English speaker and understand more English you need to stop being afraid of making mistakes.

6. Keep trying, Don't give up!
The more you practice speaking English, reading English, listening to English, and writing in English the better you will get. You won't be able to speak English fluently tomorrow or even next month. Over time if you put in the effort, you will be more comfortable and know a lot more English.

7. Keep a small notebook... write down important phrases. 
Write down entire phrases that you hear. You could write it down because you think you will use it, you learned something new, or you didn't understand. When you look back at the notebook later you will have the whole phrase; instead of one world with no example. By writing down the entire phrase you mind remember is like that. Next time you need it, the whole phrase will come out, instead of just one word.

8. Try something new
Have been trying to learn English the same way for the last year? Or even more? Try something new! Change is good for you. It will help you grow.
-try listening to English podcast,
-take an online English class,
-listen to music in English,
-watch TV or news in English,

I hope that this tips will help someone. Good luck!
