How to learn english well

If you want to learn English well, of course you can. The key is to study carefully and to speak English as often as you can. With some work, you can discover how to learn English .

English is a difficult language to learn, because you need to learn it in all areas, including listening, speaking, reading and writing. Here are some things that can help you learn English more easily in each area.

Reading
Of course, reading is one area you in how to learn English well, but this is something you can learn on your own quite effectively, outside of the classroom or even around other people. Keep a dictionary with you so that you can look up unfamiliar words. Then, you can write these words down in a notebook and use them in a conversation so that when you try to use them again, they will come to you much more easily.

Newspapers, magazines and books all help you learn English well. If you're just starting out, try reading children's books to start. This is especially helpful for people just starting to learn English. There are some books specifically written for people just starting to learn English; the words are quite simple and yet effective enough that if you use them, you can learn to speak simple English quite quickly.

If your English is more advanced, you can try reading from magazines books and newspapers. With these sources, English is more difficult, but they will challenge you if your English is advanced enough that you need more interesting things to read.

When you first begin to read English, don't try to understand every word. Instead, simply try to get a general idea of what you are reading; other words in the sentence will help you do this. If you don't understand the first time you read something, you can always go back later and use your dictionary to look up the words you don't quite know.

Writing
Another idea in how to learn English well is with writing. When you write, you can practice your English as effectively as you do when you read, only more so. This is because you reinforce your understanding of the language by writing it, which is a physical movement. For best practice, write something every day in English, even if it's a letter to a friend, or a simple message. You can also keep a diary, and use your English skills to write down what happened to you during your day. Start with simple sentences and as you get better, make sentences longer and more complicated.

You can also use the Internet this way, because the Internet will let you "talk" with other people simply by writing. You can visit chat rooms, or write a blog. All of these things help you learn English through writing. When you write, you can also take another look at words you have learned in the past, and use them in sentences to make sure you know them well.

As you learn, you can also look at a variety of writing topics that help you improve your writing skill with graphics and sound. For those who are advanced, I highly recommend a whole range of tools to help both students and teachers improve their writing skills onlin.This will also help you continue to refine your English and become even more effective in the language.

Speaking
One of the best ways in regard to how to learn English well is to speak. Speak as much as you can in English, even though you may be uncomfortable at first. Pronunciaction with a whole series of activities to practise individual sounds, minimal pairs, tongue-twisters and dictation is probably the best way to improve your English quickly. You can listen to sample dialogues from everyday situations and get the chance to practise and they can help you improve your language as well. As you practice, your English will improve.

Surround yourself with English- speaking people every day so that you have no choice but to learn the language. This will also help you begin to think in English, which in turn will improve your speaking and other English language skills. As you get better, you will longer have to translate from your language to English or vice versa as you speak. Even if you're not sure, use sentences that sound right to you. These are most often the right ones to use; if your English is not quite right sometimes, you shouldn't worry. Your English-speaking friends will help you and correct you if you ask them to. And you shouldn't worry about being embarrassed; your English-speaking friends will understand that you are doing your best to speak their language, which is quite an accomplishment.

Listening
Of course, listening is one of the most skills you need when we speak about how to learn English well. If you are in a country that speaks mostly English, of course you are going to be listening to it all day long. In turn, this is going to help you learn to speak the language effectively, because you will learn to adapt to the speech and language around you. You can then turn this into written language skills as well; oftentimes, listening to everyday English conversations categorized from easy to difficult is the best way to learn. If you are a silent listener at first, you can then gain your confidence and begin to speak it when you feel that you understand it well.

Of course, simply watching English-speaking television or listening to music and main news stories in Real Audio format along with well-illustrated text versions in the English language is also going to help you learn. It is really good to listen to a collection of authentic listening passages at three levels .All they will also help you learn English well,get pronunciation correct and speech patterns down the right way as well.

how to learn english well?

ladies and gentlemen. distinguished guests. and my fellow students.

please let me begin with "how not to learn english well?", then we may all see more clearly why english has not been learned that well, at least for most of the english language learners.

we all know that english is not chinese. do we all know that? i believe we do. so, english cannot, for one thing, be learned in the same way as chinese has been learned. secondly, english should not be turned into chinese, but into english, and english only. only when we can turn hard english into easy english can we say we have learned english, at least some english. if we can turn english into chinese, hard or easy, we are only reviewing chinese.

let us look at how our english has been learned since 1949, or perhaps, since 1900.

1. grammar: when we talk about english grammar, we use chinese, do we? a good example is the article in english grammar. do we have any articles in chinese? yes, but not in chinese grammar. why do we use a chinese word for the article in talking about english grammar? isn't that a waste of time and a waste of english? i think so. if we want to learn english grammar, we need to use english words to learn english grammar, to talk about english grammar, so that at the same time, we are able to learn, at least, some english.

2. vocabulary: how have we been learning english words? we turn all of them into chinese, right? is that called learning english? i don't think so. that is called "reviewing chinese". we are using english to review our chinese, in fact. when we learn an english word, we should be able to remember that english word, should be able to translated english into english, not chinese, not even remember its chinese equivalent. you know why? translation is very difficult and can wait until we have learned english so well that we are able to think, speak, write, hear, read, and dream english like a native english speaker. here is my question for all of you to ponder. all of you can translate any english you have learned so far into chinese. can you also translate all the chinese you are able to use into english? the answer is, you cannot, and i cannot, either. then, my conclusion is, we are not learning english, but reviewing chinese by turning anything english into chinese. when we speak english, we are not speaking english but "speaking chinese with english words and some grammatical english sentences". and a grammatical english sentence does not mean it is really english. am i not right?

3. practice: we need to learn and use english. we all know that. but, how do we use english? if we think in chinese and speak english, can we speak good english? i think not. english people think in english all the time and sometimes, also, make mistakes. if we think in chinese, we even make mistakes in chinese. how can we not make mistakes in english? if we want to use english, we have to think in english. that means when we read english, we do not translate into chinese any more, but we remember the english, and translate english into simpler english we already know. that means when we hear english, we never turn it into chinese in our chinese brains, but remember the english, and only turn it into the little english we know. when we speak and write english, we, first of all, think in english, and think in english whatsoever we want to say or write about. that is what i call practice.

if we think in english, we will speak and write english. if we think in correct english, we will speak and write correct english. if we think in chinese, we will speak and write chinese, only after we have learned how to write chinese characters. can you all see what i am driving at? if we want to learn english well, english should come from mind to mouth, from man to manuscript. 

we all learned something about physics and biology. we all know that thinking takes time. can any of you think twice as fast as a native english speaker so that when he or she speaks english to you, you can translate into chinese to understand, then think in chinese what you want to say, then translate chinese into english, and then say it? do you think your listener has the time to waif for you?

in a nutshell, if we all want to learn english well, we have to use english, instead of chinese, to learn english well, and never turn english into anything else that is not english. that is the only way to learn english well in a place where chinese is the dominant language.

if you want to be a translator or an interpreter, good for you, but that can wait until your english is as good as your chinese. that is the time you have at least two languages to think, about how to translate. that is the time your tools are sharpened, your two languages, so that you may be able to translate or interpret.

good luck in learning, and for some of us who really know how to learn it well, in learning it well.

thank you all.
