In this era of globalization, knowledge of English language is very important for us. For International communication it is necessary to a common language. For higher education and getting a good job you must have skill in English.
For learning any language you should go through a methodical way. If you want to improve in English you will follow my instructions. At first you need to be more attentive and industrious. You should live no stone unturned. Try heart and soul. Prepare a routine and practice regularly.
If you want to improve in English you need to improve the four core skills:
1)Reading
2) Writing
3) speaking and
4) listening
a)Reading:
Every day read more and more, more you read more you learn. You can read newspapers. Primarily you face some problems like pronunciation and new vocabulary. It is not problem yet. Because nobody in the world can achieve success without facing difficulty. There are many pronunciation dictionaries on Google Play Store. Nowadays digital dictionaries with pronunciation are available on various operating systems like android, apple, Microsoft. So you can use them for your vocabulary improvement. You can also read story books, magazines first you should read easy writings that you can easily understand and realize any topic.
For learning any language anybody should enrich vocabulary of the regarding language. It is necessary to develop your vocabulary day after day. Don’t worry about understanding every word, then go back and look up new words. When you face any new word, you should note it and save it. If you have PC, you can make a database on new vocabulary. Data base header can be add as ‘WORD’, ‘MEANING,’ ‘SOURCE.’ Carry cue cards with you. These are small cards which you can write new words on. You can pull them out and look at them whenever you a free minute. Use post-it notes and stick them around your home. You can use them to label things. Stick one on your pet dog or cat! I think instead of vocabulary card you can take camera shot or screenshot from your mobile digital dictionary. For memorizing any word, you should read it loudly again and again. When you memorize a single word, you should write a sentence with it and read loudly the sentence at least three times. At first you don’t memorise any hard and complex word. You should level up gradually. If an English dictionary seems difficult, there are special dictionaries like “Students Vocabulary.” I suggest you a basic vocabulary book name as “Word Smart 1&2.”
★Learn root words. For example: Condone = forgive, massive = big. It's helpful to remember the meaning of words.
★When you learn a new word, think of all its other forms.Examle: Friend(noun), friendly(adjective). Learn prefixes (dis-, un-, re-) and suffixes (-ly, -ment, -ful), these will help you to figure out the meaning of words and build your vocabulary.
★There are hundreds of widely used phrasal verbs in English. You should know them.
★English has many irregular verbs. Practice them.
★Idioms will make your English more colourful. But it is not very easy to memorise idioms.
★Be aware of the use of correct article (a/an, the).
2) Writing:
You should practice writing when you reading. Habit of writing is very useful to learn anything. Some grammar you must learn for writing without any mistakes. Tense, Vocabulary and parts of speech is very important. Keep an English diary or notebook. Start by writing a few sentences a day and then get into the habit of writing more. You should aware about grammar and spelling. Finally, read it through or give it to someone else to check for mistakes. Find out your strong and weak points. Write down which areas you want to improve on and work on improving them.
3) speaking:
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, be confident, you can learn through mistakes. The best way to learning English is practice speaking with others. Make your environment surrounded by English. You can practice with your friends and family. Debate,discuss topics in a group.You should practice speaking in front of a mirror or camera! Spoken English is totally dependent on your practice. When you practice speaking English, you should not hesitate about your grammatical mistakes. Because when you started learning your mother tounge nobody teach you grammar! In this regard grammar is second subject. Never fear of criticism of people. Some people are so fear about criticism that they can not tell any single word in front of others. They always feel shy. Bear in mind that learning a language is like a riding a bicycle. When you stop paddling you fall on the ground. That’s why never stop practice speaking English and always cling to it. Keep it up! If you take a break from speaking English, you will find that your level decreases and all your hard work has been wasted. It can be great practice for speaking to native English speakers, so you can learn pronunciation and grammar. In this digital world you can communicate through internet. Many kinds of social apps have video calling features. You should use them to speaking with other countries. Use English whenever you can. Don’t translate into English from your own language. Think in English to improve your fluency. Talk to yourself but not in the public places otherwise people will think you have gone mad! The effective way to learn grammar is through talking. Show the world your beautiful voice! Learn English songs and sing along with them to improve fluency. If you get nervous when speaking, take a break and start again. When you feel relaxed, You’ll speak better. Gather your thoughts and take a second to think about what you’re going to say. Know the grammar try use it correctly when you speak in English. Simply put, we link words ending with a consonant sound to words beginning with a vowel sound (consonant > vowel). We link words ending with a vowel sound to words beginning with a vowel sound (vowel > vowel). Practise pronunciation carefully. There are 44 sounds in English. Be aware of the differences in American and British English and use your words accordingly. For example: Movie (US) / Film (British).
4) listening:
Without listening you can not learn English well. Listen and try to understand and write it on exercise book. You should watch English movies with subtitles. There are many popular movies on online. You can watch top listed movies of Hollywood with English subtitles. Some movies has no subtitle with it, and you need to download subtitles from other websites. Millions of short film are found on YouTube based in your mother tounge. Watch recorded English videos rather than TV. Because you can watch recorded videos again and again. Save any English videos on your PC, mobile memory card and listen to them. Read out loud along with a video. This is great for pronunciation and rhythm. Keep an English radio on in your house. Most of us don’t like to hear our own voice, but be brave and try it! Record your voice and listen to your pronunciation. It will help you to identify your problems in pronunciation! If you don’t understand something you’ve got to ask someone. Ask your teacher, classmates or friends for help. Make sure that you take the time to review things you have studied in the past. It is helpful to improve your English. Lear through fun! We can learn more when we take a lesson with fun. Enough sleep is very important to concentrate more. Never give up! Stay positive! Sometimes you will feel that you aren’t learning quickly enough. Procrastination is a bad habit. It can stop you from being successful.
Finally, I want to say,"wake up English, go to bed English, dream English eat English, drink ENGLISH.
