Tips to learn English

Here are our top tips on how to learn English quickly:

BUILD YOUR VOCABULARY

Work on building your vocabulary every day by choosing new words to learn and repeating each word over and over to reinforce the memory of those new words.

• Underline words you don’t know. Look up the word in an English dictionary such as Merriam-Webster  (not the translation!). You’ll get much more out of reading the definition, and then read sentences using the word to get to know the meaning.

• Choose five new words that you would like to learn each day.

• Write the words and their meanings out on paper at least ten times each.

SPEAK ENGLISH

Speaking English daily will help you learn English and will also help your confidence while speaking the language. Keep in mind that confidence is the key to sounding natural and feeling good about your learning experience. Even if you only know a little, keep speaking out loud. Speak as often as possible, even if it’s only to yourself!

USE ONLINE TRANSLATORS TO HELP WITH PRONUNCIATION

As we mentioned in Tip #1, we recommend looking up a word you don’t know in an English dictionary. However, online translators can be a great resource as they can clarify your understanding and pronunciation of a word. To hear the word, you can click the audio button and listen to how the word or phrase sounds

ACTIVE LISTENING

Listen intently to a variety of English content anywhere you can. Paying close attention to sources like the news, popular songs and everyday conversations can greatly increase your knowledge of words, word patterns, phrases and expressions. By focusing on the audio alone, you can learn a great deal about inflections and nuances of specific words
