10 Tips to Learn English Quickly

Sign up for a regular English tip. Some websites offer a weekly or even daily short English lesson sent to your email account. If your mobile phone has an e-mail address, it is also possible to have the tips sent to your phone to read on the way to work or school. Please note, however, that such services are not usually graded very well to the levels of different students, and they should be used as a little added extra or revision in your English studies rather than as a replacement for something you or your teacher have chosen more carefully as what you need to learn.

Listen to English music. Even listening to music while doing something else can help a little for things like getting used to the natural rhythm and tone of English speech, although the more time and attention you give to a song the more you will learn from listening to it again in the future.

 Read a translation into English. Another way of making sure books are easier to understand is to choose a book that was originally translated into English, preferably from your own language. Even if you haven't read the book in your own language, you will find the English is written in a slightly simplified way that is more similar to how your own language is written than a book originally written in English would be.

 Read a book with lots of dialogue. Opening up books before you buy one and flicking through them to find one with lots of direct dialogue in it has several advantages. If there is less text on the page due to all the speech marks etc, this can make it easier to read and easier to write translations on. Dialogue is also much easier to understand than descriptive parts of a book, and is much more like the language you will want to learn in order to be able to speak English.

 Ask your company to start English lessons. Even if you don't need to speak English at work, English lessons can be a fun and reasonably priced way for your company to spend their training budget in a popular way.

Watch English language films with English subtitles. For people who can't understand a film without subtitles but find themselves not listening at all when reading subtitles in their own language, this should be the way of watching a film that you should aim for. If it is too difficult to watch the whole film this way, try watching the (usually important) first 10 or 15 minutes of the film with subtitles in your own language, switch to English subtitles after that, and only switch back to subtitles in your own language if you get totally lost following the story of the film.

 Read the whole thing with no help. Although using a dictionary has been shown to help with both short term and long term learning of vocabulary, the fact that using it slows reading down can stop some people reading in English at all. Reading a whole book quickly through just for pleasure from time to time will help you remember how fun reading in another language can be.

Keep a list of language to learn, e.g. a vocab list. Even if you don't often find time to go though your vocab list and it keeps on building up, just the act of choosing which words you need to learn and writing them down on a special list can help you learn them.

  Online chat. The closest thing to speaking for people who don't have the chance to speak English is online chat, as you have to think and respond quickly, and the language is short and informal just like speech.

 Record your own voice. For people who don't have much or any correction of pronunciation from a teacher, recording yourself and listening back makes it easier to hear whether you are really making the English sounds that you are trying to or not.

Improving your motivation for learning English

Imagine yourself in the future

Imagine you can talk to native speakers just like you talk in your first language. Imagine other people wanting to speak English as well as you do. Imagine the possibility of writing e-mail to people from all over the world.

It is helpful to read an article about the advantages of knowing English well. There are two such articles on Antimoon: Why learn English and English makes you feel good.

You should know that it is possible to learn English really well. Just look atother people who have done it.

Remember that you are already good

You already know some English (you’re reading an article in English right now). That’s a big success! Now it’s time for more successes. Time to start using powerful methods of effective learning. Time to gain an impressive knowledge of English.

Remember there is a lot that you don’t know

You are good, but your English probably isn’t perfect. You probably can’t understand English-language TV, read books in English, talk to native speakers easily, write letters without mistakes, etc.

You should never think your English is perfect. Even if you are the best student in your class, always try to find your weak areas and work on them. When you’ve learned to speak English well, your problems will be quite small:punctuation, rarely used grammar structures, rare words, understanding “street language”. Right now, your problems are probably more basic: mistakes in pronunciation, small vocabulary, grammar problems with the present perfect tense and conditional structures.

Use English whenever you can

Probably the most important way to improve your motivation is to use English.

Using English is fun. It is simply very enjoyable to use your English to read a good book, understand a song, watch an interesting movie, get an answer to a computer problem, exchange e-mails with a native speaker, etc. The more you use English, the more you will want to use it.

This is great, because using English is learning English. When you’re reading an interesting article or watching an exciting movie, you are using your English, but you are also learning new words and phrases. When you’re writing a message on an English-language discussion forum, you are using your English, but you are also practicing your writing.

But using English can also improve your general attitude to English andincrease your motivation to study English in other ways. For example, if you see that your knowledge of English pronunciation helps you understand a movie or speak more clearly, you will be motivated to study pronunciation even more. If you see that checking your sentences in a search engine lets you write error-free e-mail messages, you will want to keep doing that. If you memorize some words with an SRS and later you come across them in a movie or an article, you will want to add even more things to your SRS.

Talk to people about English

This is a very simple method, but it is very effective. Here’s how it works:

You usually talk about things which interest you. But the opposite is true, too.If you start talking about a boring subject, you will begin to get interested in it.

Imagine you are studying a subject that you hate. You are bored and tired, but you have to pass the test tomorrow. If there are people near you, you have two options: you can tell everybody how much you are suffering or you can tell those people about the things you’ve learned. If you choose the first option, you will only feel worse.

If you choose the second option, and start a conversation on the “boring” subject, you will begin to look at it in a totally different way. Suddenly it will become a subject worth talking about — therefore, an interesting subject.

How can you begin such a conversation? If you’re studying English, you can surprise another person by talking to him/her in English. Say (in English): Hi, I’m studying English and I hate it. Or you can say (in your first language): Hey, I’ve learned 50 English words today. Do you know what’s the English word for ...? If there are no people near you, you can telephone or send an e-mail message to your friend.

What will your friends say? Probably they won’t be very interested, but it doesn’t matter! The important thing is this: After talking about English, you will study it with more passion. Try it.

Find a friend who is learning English

If you can find a friend who is learning English and is on a similar level of skill, you will be in an excellent situation:

• you will have someone to talk about English with. These conversations will increase your interest in English, as explained in the previous section.
• learning English will be easier, because you will be able to discuss your problems with your friend.
• you will study English more, because you will want to be better than your friend. :-)

You should meet your friend regularly. Ideally, he/she should live near you, or go to the same school as you. If you absolutely can’t find anybody willing to learn English with you, you can try to find somebody by e-mail. This is a worse solution: your conversations will probably be less frequent, and it is difficult to compete with someone who you don’t know well.

Spend some money on learning English

If you spend your money on something, you will want to use it. For example, if you buy an expensive tennis racket, you will probably go out and play tennis every day.

This rule is also true for learning English. If you want to increase your desire to learn English, buy a new dictionary, an interesting English-language book, English-language cable TV, etc. The idea is simple: You paid for it, so you will want to use it, and you will improve your English.

There is a problem with this method. It only works for a short time. You usually lose your desire to learn English after a few days. To keep learning, you would have to buy something every week!

However, this method is helpful, because it gives you an impulse to start learning. For example, if you buy a dictionary of phrasal verbs, you will probably learn some words from it. Then you should try to use them. For example, write an e-mail message with these words. This will increase yourmotivation (as explained before), and you will learn more.

Read Unlimited Power by Anthony Robbins

Anthony Robbins’ book Unlimited Power: The New Science of Personal Achievement gives excellent advice on how to achieve any kind of goal. This book has changed the lives of many people, so you might want to take a look at it.

Remember that learning English requires action

We have said this many times. One small action is more powerful than reading hundreds of articles. Yes, we know it is very hard to do things, even if they are good for us. We humans are lazy creatures. That is why not many people speak English well.

Still, we hope you can do the things we talk about in our English learning method — not only read about them. You will be successful only if you change something about your life.

Don’t put it off. Begin now.

Tips In Speaking Skill

How to Talk to Non- Native English Speakers

A non-native English speaker wouldn’t understand a word of that previous sentence. One would think the words, generally speaking, are simple, right? However, when put together, these words form complicated, idiomatic expressions that are incomprehensible to a non-native English speaker. Depending on the level of the non-native English speaker (NNES for short), he/she may not even understand “hey”. One must take into account a few guidelines when speaking to a person whose primary language is not English.

1. Speak slowly, not loudly.

Though it may seem needless to say, it’s not. When a person feels misunderstood, he/she tends to raise the volume of his/her voice to achieve comprehension. This method will not work on an NNES. Keep in mind, there is a language barrier, not an audio barrier. Consider the speed of your speech. Separate each word with a brief pause without subtracting from the overall message. “Do you need to use the restroom?” A native English speaker may say, “Duyu nee tuse therestroom?” Take that sentence and separate each word to have an individual meaning. Apply this method in a regular conversation, and it will improve an NNES’s understanding.

2. Use hand gestures.

Some people are embarrassed to use hand gestures because of the societal implications associated with such a manner. However, using hang gestures when speaking to an NNES will drastically increase their comprehension of the conversation or topic. Think of simple hand gestures that could be internationally understood. For example, the word “walk” could be shown by using two fingers as if they were legs across a surface. The word “eat” could be mimed by holding an invisible spoon and scooping food into your mouth. This method especially comes in handy when speaking in the past or future tense when the form of the verb changes greatly from its original form. For example, an NNES may understand the word “tell” but not the word “told”. You can use an opening-and-closing hand gesture like a duck bill to show this verb in the present and past. The NNES will be able to draw an easy conclusion as to what you are saying without fully understanding the word itself. If communication is the goal, it can be achieved by using this technique.

3. Don’t use idioms!

An idiom is defined as a statement or phrase whose individual words do not convey their literal meaning. For example, “to hang out with friends” does not imply that anybody is literally hanging. “Surfing the web” does not imply that the person is actually surfing. These are just a few examples of the vast amount of idioms in the English language. The most common forms of idioms involve the word “get”. The word “get” is, arguably, the most flexible word in the English language. “Get”, by itself, means “to obtain”. However, “get” is often used to communicate other ideas: get by, get over it, get up, get down, get away with, get over here, get taken, etc. In general, try to avoid using the verb “get” at all because this will help you avoid using idioms, which NNES only understand at an advanced English level.

4. Feel free to use incorrect English when appropriate.

This may sound strange at first, but there is a disclaimer: only use incorrect English if communication is the only goal. If, for example, you are an ESL teacher, you should avoid using incorrect English with your students. On the other hand, if you are talking to an NNES for informal reasons, incorrect English will not harm the NNES’s understanding of the language.

For example, if you want to say “Did you enjoy the party last night?” you can use implicit language and shorten it by saying, “The party: fun?” The NNES is likely to understand these simple words and be able to respond effectively. Use discernment with this technique and analyze an NNES level of English before assuming the use of incorrect English. If they are a lower-level English speaker, feel free to use incorrect English. Otherwise, use correct English accompanied by the other techniques mentioned in these articles.

5. Think of different ways to say something.

Challenge yourself. Think of the first sentence of this article – “Hey! How’s it going? What time did you get in last night?” Knowing that an NNES may not understand the arrangement of these words, think about non-idiomatic expressions to say instead of the words used in the previous sentence. “Hello! How are you? What time did you arrive home last night?” These nouns and verbs are taught in basic levels of language learning and the NNES is likely to understand all of them. If this simple phrase is accompanied by speaking slowly and using hand gestures, the NNES will be able to comprehend what you are communicating.

6. Pronounce letters and phonemes clearly.

A phoneme is a sound a letter or group of letters makes in English. For example, the /th/ in the word “the” is often pronounced as a /d/ sound when native English speakers are talking quickly. The double /t/ in the word “better” is often pronounced as a /d/ sound, as well. Refer to #1 and think about how to apply that concept to the word “better”. Instead of pronouncing it as usual with a /d/ sound, try pronouncing it with a strong /t/ sound to ensure that the NNES understands the word you are trying to communicate. Again, if communication is the main goal, there is no need to pay close attention to detail and attempt to speak as you would with a native English speaker. Be cognizant of these pronunciation changes that affect the way English can be communicated.

Keeping in mind these few techniques will help an NNES understand more often and more quickly. Learning a language is difficult. Learning English is especially difficult because English is a language that is inconsistent and ever-changing.

Material for A Good Writing Text

Brainstorming

 What do you do before you write?
You brainstorm about the idea or topic you are writing about. Everybody brainstorms before writing about something, even famous authors like J.K. Rowling, Beverly Cleary, and Judy Blume. Brainstorming is a way to think up ideas for a story or a book. Write down everything that comes to mind.
Brainstorming is a method students can use to generate ideas for writing a paper. In the process of brainstorming you should suspend any concerns about staying organized. The goal is to pour your thoughts onto paper without worrying about whether they make sense or how they fit together.
Because students have different learning styles, some students will be uncomfortable with the disorganized frenzy of spilling thoughts onto paper. For instance, left brained students and sequential thinking students may not benefit from the process if it becomes too cluttered.
There are more organized ways to brainstorm, however. For this reason, we’ll explore a few ways to get the same results. Find the one that feels most comfortable to you.

Steps

1. Set your timer.

It can be any time that you feel would put your brainstorming sessions to their full potential. One suggestion would be a topic word or a thought that you would like to explore at the top of your paper. Maybe use words such as 'education' or 'government.' Continue writing words or phrases in list form down the page until your time has run out.

2. Never stop writing.

Even if you have to write down an idea that's completely stupid and wouldn't work, it's better than stopping and interrupting the creative flow. Keep working, and if you can't think of anything, continue to write "I don't know, I don't know" in a continuous loop. This will get so boring that your idle brain will come up with something.

3. Assume that no word is self-explanatory.

Continue to focus on one topic word until you cannot describe it with any further detail. In other words, take a deeper look at an individual or minute part of a larger whole.

4. As your thoughts slow or become stagnant, begin to review your lists periodically.

Previous terms may need further explanation, or may bring forth new ideas to the surface.

5. When you are finished brainstorming, re-organize your words and phrases into sequential categories.
6. If you have a sufficient collection of good ideas, begin to work on the rough draft.

If more ideas are needed, try other informal invention techniques such as freewriting or mapping.

7. Utilizing a dictionary, search for random words.

Close your eyes and place your finger on the page or choose the most attractive word as you scan through the pages. Write these words down as well as any other thoughts that may be in relation to these words.

Tips

• While brainstorming, it can be helpful to listen to classical music or jazz, or any songs without lyrics.
• A few extra writing utensils along with a thick pad of paper ensures for an adequate supply of materials to continue the flow of your work without interruption.
• Brainstorming is an uncensored practice. Try not to make any corrections during the brainstorming process.
• Keep going, even if you come across a good idea near the beginning of the brain storm session; as other ideas that are just as good - or even better - may come along.
• Don't immediately dismiss an idea. Continue to write and see where your thoughts take you.
• Save your brainstorming papers, as you never know when you may need them.
• Brainstorming can be difficult during your first few sessions, but don't give up! If it doesn't work, try again.
• Try, as illustrated above, using sticky notes. Every time you think of something -ANYTHING!- write it down and stick it up. It could come back around to be useful.
• Don't be afraid to go crazy with your thoughts.
• Try brainstorming with a friend. They might have different ideas and your collaboration could end up with the perfect result!

 Warnings

• Brainstorming is not guaranteed to break the toughest writers' block, but it should give you a mental warm-up and an idea of where you are going with your writing process.
• Brainstorming can be very frustrating at times, so remember to take a break every so often.
