10 Tips Improve English


  





Read more in English:

 Reading and writing are closely linked. Reading helps you see how English works and how grammar works.

Find something you like to read, and then keep on reading, try to read as many different genres (e.g. newspaper, articles, blogs, short-stories).




Write more in English: 

Writing is a great way of using new vocabulary and getting your head around grammar. Try writing a daily journal in English.

Also any extra practice that you can get is going to help you. 

It’s also a good way of comparing your progress as you improve your knowledge of the English language. If you have access to English speaking friends or a teacher, you could ask them to look over your writing and give you some pointers.




      Watch Television and films in English:  

    You can learn English while watching them, putting the English subtitles on so that you can read along and listen at the same time.

 Also, watch T.V shows and films help you learn helpful new word and phrases while you enjoy watching movies.





      Listen to British and American music:


   In addition to watching films and TV, listening to music is another great and fun way of improving your grasp of a language. There’s an almost endless amountof music out there to choose from, with most tracks having lyrics easily available online.

   You could listen to a song a day and read the lyrics along to it. If you come across any language that you don’t understand then research it. 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 go for some rap music,which is        generally a lot quicker and harder to understand.





     Learn vocabulary :

     Lear the words that you hear or read again and again.

           Write the words in a notebook with the definitions.

     Say the words many times, if you can hear how the word is pronounced, is better.

           Make associations with pictures or with other works.

    In all of the above ways, you are doing something with the words. It’s usuallynot enough to just read through a list of words with their definitions or translations and try to remember them. Most students find that they memorise words better if they do something with them. Even better is to try and learn the word in a typical combination with other words.


  





    Speak, Speak and Speak:

Practising speaking is one of the most fun and rewarding parts of learning English. Once you can speak even little English, there are loads of ways to improve your skills quickly while having tons of fun.
