7 Steps to Learn English

1st step: Plan a strategy

Learning English is a goal that cannot be taken lightly.
Therefore, you need to plan your learning strategy. No
matter how lucky you are, no miracle will happen that allows
you to handle a smooth conversation overnight. The path of
learning requires strategy and preparation. A good tip to
start is to make a space in your agenda to schedule your
goals. It is good to prepare a list of everything you expect to
learn in a certain period of time. Although you may not meet
all the objectives, having your purpose clear at each stage
allows you to progress steadily.
 2nd step: Choose the teaching method

To start the whole process, you need to think

about how you will learn the language. You will
need to research and find out which method can
help you acquire fluency in English. At this point, it
is important to consider your ability to discipline
and your daily commitment to the study. Also, it is
important to find a material to guide you made by
specialists and language scholars,
 3rd step: Organize your studies
It is important to make a commitment to yourself
and reserve a daily schedule to study and maintain
daily contact with the language. For example, you
can set aside about 30 minutes to study English.
During this period of study, stay fully focused on
what you are doing. Find a quiet place that is free
from external factors. Set up a study calendar and
follow it according to your goals.
The study needs to be a habit, but it cannot take all
your time to the point of tiring your mind. Thirty
minutes a day is ideal in a daily routine, especially
considering that it is a reasonable period for not
compromising other daily tasks. In addition to
being important to reserve this study time, you will
not miss some idle moments throughout the day.
Use them to think, read texts, and listen to songs in
English.
 4th step: Familiarize yourself
with the language
To learn to speak, it is necessary to learn to listen. It is not enough to
listen without understanding. Create a base in the language, make
contact with English daily. Familiarize yourself with it. A good and fun
way to start is by watching English movies and series that you already
know. Knowing and enjoying the story, it is easier to watch it a second
or third time with English subtitles, and then even without subtitles.
The same goes for books and music. Listen to some music you
already know and like and follow along with the lyrics. You will see
that it will be easier to understand.

The important thing is to be immersed in English and contact with the

language exists in every way: speaking, listening, writing, and reading.
Try taking the English language for small day-to-day tasks, such as
social media or your smartphone.
 5th step: Start learning
• Now, it is important to know how the learning process
actually happens. Studying is not just sitting in front of a
book and reading it from beginning to end. The act
involves discipline and some more effective techniques.
Go through the learning process slowly. Do it with fun, so
you don’t get bored easily. Below are some of the
techniques to help you quickly learn English.
• Learning vocabulary is very important when learning
English. If you have a little vocabulary with you, you will
encounter many difficulties. It could even be that you will
easily give up learning English if you learn grammar, but
your vocabulary is only a little. Memorize vocabulary
continuously, every day. It doesn’t need much, as long as
you have to memorize at least one vocabulary one day.
Also, don’t forget to practice the correct pronunciation.
 5th step: Start learning
Pronunciation
• This should be the first phase of learning. Pronunciation is the
saying of a word in English correctly. English is used in
several countries, so the accent used is not always the same.
But the most commonly used are American English and
British English.
• So, why do you have to learn the pronunciation first? This is
because you need to be trained to pronounce correctly in the
early stages of learning English. The correct pronunciation
will also depend on practice. That is why you will need to
practice daily.
• If you are wrong in its pronunciation, it will even lead to
misunderstanding. Therefore, it is essential for you to start
learning correctly from the beginning. A good pronunciation
helps you not only to speak well, but also to understand those
who already speak the language. Besides, it will also give you
the confidence necessary when the time comes to talk with a
native.
 5th step: Start learning
• Vocabulary
• Learning vocabulary is a must if you want to be
able to speak English. You can’t make a
sentence if you are confused. Make a list of nwe
words every week and take your time to learn
them every day. However, this does not mean
you memorize a large number of terms as you
will forget them easily. You can write these
vocabularies down in a word document, a
notebook, or any other system that can help you
memorize them easily.
 5th step: Start learning
• Spelling
• Spelling has a relationship with the pronunciation of
the correct English vocabulary. So, practicing correct
spelling and pronunciation is already a package with
learning vocabulary. When you memorize vocabulary,
make sure the spelling in each vocabulary is correct.
For example, the word “book.” You should know this
word is spelled or formed from the letters “b-o-o-k.”
By knowing the spelling of each word, you can avoid
using the wrong word when writing in English.
• In English, there are also several words in the same
pronunciation but different spelling. In other terms, it
is often called ‘homophones‘ (similar sounds of
words). Learn to differentiate them so that you
don’t get confused.
 5th step: Start learning
• Grammar
• When you start with your learning
process, remember that every aspect of
the language is very important,
and grammar may be the most essential.
This does not mean that you should learn
the rules as if you were a linguist, but
understand how the main tenses are
structured (past, present, and future in all
its variations). Regardless of the method
you choose to learn English, it is a good
idea to try to learn at least ten new words
every week. After a while, your
vocabulary will be wide.
 6th step: Immerse yourself in the language
• Anyone who has learned English and wants to give
you some advice will not find better words to refer to
than telling you to watch English shows, movies,
series, programs, etc. Watching programs and
listening to conversations in English is an option that
will develop your learning to new levels. In this way,
you will have a real-time interaction with the
language. In some cases, you will see the type of
behavior and expression of the language used in
everyday situations.
• The best thing about this is that it gives you the tools
and level of English of any native person while
enjoying your favorite movies and stories. Your
success will be determined by your consistency in
learning until your English skills experience rapid
progress.
 7th step: Motivation

• The simple desire to learn a new language

and the personal goals of can already be quite
a motivation. However, there are other factors,
such as finding an interaction group where
you can meet and talk in English. This will
make you practice the language even more
and learn during conversations and exchanges
of experiences.
