Learning English in a Fun Way
Have
you ever thought that learning English is difficult? Especially in memorizing a
vocabulary? You have to struggle in memorizing a lot of vocabularies and it
drives you crazy. Or maybe you feel confused when you learn about grammar? You
memorize about the formula of the grammar. However, you still feel confused
when you build a sentence based on the grammar that you have learned before. “What
grammar should I use?” That is a question which always comes when you write a
story or maybe an essay in English.
Therefore,
what should we do to improve our English’s skill? There are several ways for us
to improve our English. In my opinion, if you learn a language you have to
connect the language to something that you like. For example, if you like
reading comic book, novel, journal, article, or a magazine, try to read it in
English. There might be many words that you don’t know the meaning and then you
search the meaning of the words you don’t know. Write down the words that you
don’t know with the meaning also in a book. Instead of you look for the meaning
in a dictionary, it might be better for you to make your own dictionary. Based
on research, our brain will more remember the lesson that we learn when we see
and also write it. If you are an auditory people, after you write it, you can
say it aloud. Or maybe you can make the words into a song so you can memorize
it better. And don’t forget to understand all of the sentences. And try to
understand the pattern of the sentence. Why they use this grammar instead of
the other? Try to find the differences in the time sign. Because the key of
understanding the grammar is the time sign itself.
Second,
for improving your listening skill, try to watch a lot of movies in English and
don’t use a subtitle. However, if you are a beginner, you are allowed to use
the subtitle but of course the subtitle is also in English. You also can listen
to the English’s music to improve the listening skill. Don’t forget to always
try to understand the sentence by sentence and what the meaning of the sentence
itself. And you can also listen to the native speaker because every region has
its own pronunciation.
And
the third, you have to practice writing something maybe a story, a poem, or an
article. If you done writing something you have to check what you have written
and don’t forget to correct it if there is a grammatical error. It would be
better if you correct it with your English teacher or someone who is an expert
in English.
And
the last but not least, don’t forget to improve your speaking skill by doing a
chit-chat with your friends. It would be better if your friends are British
people or American because you also can learn about the pronunciation. As we
know, there are so many regions in United Kingdom. And every region has its own
style in pronounce something. You can also learn how people who live in
Manchester pronounce it and how people who live in London pronounce it. And
also the American has its own style. And try to imitate them in the way of
speaking. And don’t forget to gain your confidence first. Because when you feel
confident you will be more confortable to speak with them. And don’t worry to
make any mistakes. Sometimes people learn better when they do some mistakes.
Because when we do a mistake, we can know where the mistake is and then make
sure not to do it again. All you can do just keep trying and keep trying again.
Because the more you try the more you get better.
