1.
You can’t learn English from a book.
Like driving a car, you can only learn through doing it.
2.
The most natural way to learn
grammar is through talking.
3.
Keep an English diary or journal.
Start by writing a few sentences a day and then get into the habit of writing
more.
4.
Why not start an online blog and
share your writings with the world?
5.
To become a better writer brainstorm
as many ideas and thoughts onto paper without worrying about grammar or
spelling. Then think about the structure. After that, write your piece using
good grammar and spelling. Finally, read it through or give it to someone else
to check for mistakes.
6.
Keep an eye on your punctuation as it
can totally change what you’re trying to say. Check out the difference in
meaning between these two sentences: “A woman without her man is nothing” and
“A woman: without her, man is nothing”.
7.
Sing your heart out! Show the world
your beautiful voice! Learn English songs and sing along with them to improve
fluency and intonation… anyone for Karaoke?
8.
Get a penfriend or use chat-rooms,
forums and community sites. If you can’t speak to someone in English, this is
the next best thing.
9.
Shadow English CDs. Listen to a few
sentences then repeat what you heard. Focus on the rhythm and intonation.
1
Have English radio on in your house.
Even if you are not actively listening to it, you will still be training your
ears.
Mirror CDs. Read out loud along with
a CD. Again, this is great for intonation, pronunciation and rhythm.
12.
Dictation. Listen to a CD or friend
and write down what you hear.
13.
Nobody
likes to hear their own voice, but be brave and try it! Record your voice and
listen to your pronunciation and intonation. It will help you to identify your
problem areas.
