Why do you learn English language?

4 reasons why learning English is so important

1. English may not be the most spoken language in the world, but it is the official language in a
large number of countries. It is estimated that the number of people in the world that use in
English to communicate on a regular basis is 2 billion!

2. English is the dominant business language and it has become almost a necessity for people to
speak English if they are to enter a global workforce, research from all over the world shows that
cross-border business communication is most often conducted in English. Its importance in the
global market place therefore cannot be understated, learning English really can change your life.

3. Many of the world’s top films, books and music are published and produced in English.
Therefore by learning English you will have access to a great wealth of entertainment and will be
able to have a greater cultural understanding.

4. Most of the content produced on the internet (50%) is in English. So knowing English will
allow you access to an incredible amount of information which may not be otherwise available!

valuable to learn and can create many opportunities!

How do you learn English?

Learning a new language can be difficult, but it's not impossible. Learning any language can be
broken up into four pieces: reading, writing, listening and speaking. If you want to learn English
faster, get started with Step 1 below.

Part 1

Fun Techniques

1. Read, read, read. One of the easiest things you can do to learn English faster is to read
as much as you can. Read things all the time. This will make your vocabulary better and
it will also help you learn grammar and slang.
o Read comics. An easy option, if you don't want to read children's books, is to read
comic books or comics instead. You can buy many English language comic books
in bookstores and online, or you can read free comics online (these are usually
called webcomics).
o Read books you've read before. You can also read a book you have read before. If
you already know a little bit about what happens, then you will have an easier
time guessing and understanding the words.
o Read the newspaper. Newspapers are a good way to learn the basics of a
language, because they usually have very good grammar and are written to be
easy to understand. You can find online versions of many good English language
newspapers, like the New York Times or The Guardian.
2. Watch movies. Watching movies will also help you improve your English, by helping
you to hear what it sounds like and also helping you to learn new words. You can start
watching with subtitles on, but you will learn more with the subtitles off. Once you have
a basic vocabulary, try to keep the subtitles off and focus on listening for the words you
do know and guessing the words you don't know from what is happening on the screen.

3. Play MMO games. MMOs are video games that you play online with other people. You
can choose to play with people in English-speaking countries, which will give you the
chance to talk with them and learn from them. Try playing Guild Wars, World of
Warcraft, or The Elder Scrolls Online.

4. Find an online pen-pal. Pen-pals are people trying to learn your language that you write
letters (or emails) to and they write back. You write half of your letter in your native
language so that they can practice and half in English so that you can practice. You can
 talk about whatever you want! There are many websites that can help you find an online
pen-pal.

5. Make a friend. You can also just make friends with English language speakers online
and chat, email, and Skype together in order to practice your English. You can find online
friends by joining fan communities or through language-learning communities like
Fluentify.

6. Sing songs. Learning and singing songs is another good way to make your English better.
This will help you learn the sounds of English (rhymes will help your pronunciation). It
will also help improve your vocabulary. Find a song you like, learn it, and learn what the
lyrics mean.

Part 2

Serious Study
1. Take a course. English courses will help you learn the most important words and
grammar and can help you make sure you're learning everything correctly. There are two
main ways to take English language courses:
o Take an online course. You can take courses online. Some of these cost money
and some are free. The ones that cost money may be better than the free ones but
not all the time! Good examples of online programs are LiveMocha and
Duolingo.
o Take a course in school. You can take a class from a local college or English
language school. These cost money, but the help from the teacher will be very
important and will help you learn faster than trying to learn on your own.

2. Write in a journal. This will force you to practice your writing and vocabulary. It will
also force you to practice making new sentences, instead of just repeating sentences you
already know. You can keep a diary of your day. You should also keep a small journal
where you write down new words when you hear or see them.

3. Travel to an English-speaking nation. Traveling to a place where everyone speaks

English will help you learn a lot faster. Take a temporary job or a study abroad course in
an English-speaking country. You can also take shorter trips, but immersing yourself in
the language for at least 3 months will help the most.
4. Teach yourself. Of course, you can teach yourself English too. The trick to teaching
yourself English fast is to make it the most important thing to you. Spend all of your free
time studying and use your English as often as you can.

5. Take advantage of online tools. There are many online tools for helping you to learn
English faster. These range from flashcard type programs to phone apps. Try ANKI
(flashcards), Memrise (flashcards and so much more), or Forvo (pronunciation guide).

6. Immerse yourself. Immersion is one of the best ways to learn a language. This means
that you need to study English every day, for at least 3 hours a day. One hour once a
week is not enough to learn. If you can spend at least 6 hours a day hearing, writing, and
speaking English, this will help you the most.
Part 3

Do's and Don'ts

1. Do work with small sets of words. When you are trying to learn new words, don't work
from a giant list of vocabulary. Learn only a few words at a time and do not move on until
you really know those words.

2. Do label everything in your home. Put a label on everything in your home to help you
learn those words. This will teach you to think of the image when you see the word,
instead of translating everything in your head.
3. Do make use of Google Images. Google image search is a great way to learn nouns (and
some other types of words) in a language. Search new words in the image search tool and
the pictures that show up will help you learn!

4. Don't try to learn with flashcards. Generally, you should not use flashcards with only
words (with the English word on one side and your word on the other). This teaches you
to translate everything inside your head, making you slow to understand the English you
hear. Instead, try to learn the English word with a sound or picture.

5. Don't focus too much on grammar. The thing about English is that most people don't
speak with perfect grammar and few people even speak with good grammar. If you spend
all of your time trying to learn the grammar, you'll waste a bunch of time. Speak
incorrectly: it's ok! Someone will correct you and you'll learn over time. Eventually it will
sound right and you won't even have to think about it.
6. Don't be afraid to try! The most important part of learning a language quickly is to just
speak it. Just use your language skills as much as you can. Don't worry about being wrong
or not saying something correctly. Not using your skills makes you learn so much slower.
Just speak! You can do it!
