TIPS FOR IMPROVING YOUR ENGLISH #2

2021年3月21日

Dear All!

Have you read Tips for improving your English #1 ? If you havent', you can click here to read it. If you prefer you can read these tips first and later on read the first one. 

Have you practiced and used the tips from the first article I published? I would love to know if they were helpful.

Five tips for today:

1. Figure out your best time to learn
What part of the day works better for you? Are you a morning or afternoon person? If you can work out when your brain is at its sharpest then you should cram in your language learning at this time. Some people work best first thing in the morning and switch off after lunchtime, while for others it takes a while to get going every day.
 
2. Listen to music
Last time I mentioned about watching films and TV, listening to music is another great and fun way of improving your English skills. There’s an almost endless amount of music out there to choose from, with most tracks having lyrics easily available online.
You could choose a song for each day and read the lyrics along to it. If you come across any language that you don’t understand then research it.
You can choose the song according to your level. If you’re at a low level then perhaps go for some slower folk, country or acoustic music, which often has lyrics that are slower and easier to understand. 
Once you’re feeling more confident you could choose some rap music, which is generally a lot quicker and harder to understand.
 
3. Exchanging language learning
In addition to learning English in class, you could find somebody who is keen to learn your own language and exchange information with them. Being able to speak a language is a gift and, whatever your mother tongue, there will be somebody out there that wants to learn it.

4. Practice English as much as you can
It’s incredibly important that you don’t leave your English learning inside the classroom. Make an effort to study your notes, read and write in English, and speak to English nationals and other English speakers. 
When you’re in bed at night, look over your English notes from the day and try to memorise some vocabulary as you’re falling asleep. The first thing you do in the morning while you’re eating your cereal could be to learn a couple of new words. Remember to learn when you have a free time.

It's always good to learn at your own pace. Make it a relaxing moment. Learn having fun and enjoying each minute with whatever activity you choose  ( ͡❛ ᴗ ͡❛)

I hope these tips can help you.
