Listen, Listen & Listen

How did you learn your native language when you were young? By listening, right? So, this is what you should do while learning English. Buy a Netflix subscription and start watching American sitcoms like FRIENDS, HIMYM, etc. They will help you learn the most common words of the language along with getting the basics right. If online streaming is not your thing, you can always go for Podcasts. They’re very famous podcasts on the Internet which you can listen on your way to college or late at the night. 

 

Read, Read & Read

Reading is also essential in understanding the Grammar and structure of the language. You can read novels, self-help books, and even comics. If you are interested in other topics like Health and Fitness, you can always go for reading blogs on the web. Some famous blogs are Huffington post, Healthline and medical news. 

 

Practice Speaking 

The only way to be a good English speaker is to be non-hesitant when you practice speaking. Just stand in front of the mirror and start reading a newspaper or a book. You can also record your voice in a recorder and listen to it afterward, to see where you need improvement in accent and pronunciation of the words. 

 

Learn Vocabulary & Phrases

Keep a pocket diary with you and if you listen or see words that you can use in your day to day conversation, just write them down in your notebook. Moreover, you should also add common phrasal verbs and idioms in English which will take your language learning to the next level.

 

Have Fun & Don’t Shy

Don’t shy away from talking to strangers and make language learning a fun process where you can learn English with genuinely being interested.
