HOW TO MASTER ENGLISH FASTER

Many of my friends have approached me and asked about this. I personally feel that I have a considerable amount of knowledge in this language so I thought I can write it down. Thought am a leaner too!

English is by-far the most commonly used and spoken language everywhere.

And in the country like India, though a lot of people understand and speak well, still a huge percentage of population lacks at it completely. Even though in almost every school, it is given the top most priority of as a “1st Language”, but still many students don’t really know the basic Grammar and it makes me sick, ugh!

By English, we not only mean speaking (as it sounds standard, etc.) but writing it, pronunciation every word correctly is also a task to perform.

English is a fun language to learn (here are 7 reasons why it rocks) and even though it’s considered an accessible & relatively easy one to learn with more than 700,000 words and spellings, that can throw off even the most skilled learner, learning English fast can seem impossible. No one wants to learn it slowly too!

But am here to tell you that it isn’t as long as you have the right strategy!

So here are 7 tips for it –

1. Read everything you can get your hands on :

Now here I’d first like to say that start reading good quality books as others say too, because trust me that’s vv important and if you want suggestions regarding that feel free to DM me on Instagram! Classic literature, paperbacks, newspapers, websites, emails, your social media feed, cereal boxes, ingredients list : if it’s in English, read it. Why? Well, this content will be full of juicy new vocabulary as well as fair amount to start with you already know. This helps you improve quickly, as re-exposure to learned vocabulary gives you new examples in context, therefore reinforcing those words in your mind. On the other hand, learning new words and expressions is essential to building your vocabulary arsenal, particularly in a language like English with so many words and grammar.

2. Talk with real live humans :

What is a language for if not to communicate?

Sure, we humans have become experts at communicating without opening our mouths -thanks to Whatsapp! but when push comes to shove, it’s true that speaking a language helps it stick in your head far better than only reading or writing it. Just think of how many times you’ve heard people say that they “understand, but can’t speak English.” A lot of would-be English speakers have turned talking into a huge insurmountable barrier that only serves to psyche them out. Don’t be like that. Seek out native speakers for an informal language exchange, enroll in a course, or take classes online.

3. Subscribe to Podcasts or YouTube channels (if only in English) :

Like humor? Politics? Blogging? Cooking? With topics covering every interest imaginable, there’s an English-speaking podcast or Youtube channel out there for you. Subscribe to a few and listen while driving or watch during the commute to school or work. At first, you might find the native accents difficult, but stick with it and you’ll soon start to understand what you hear (as well as learning lots of new vocab from a native speaker!)

4. Use your friends :

Have you ever come across any of your friends who is really good at English or fluent in speaking? Did you ever feel embarrassing that you didn’t make any sense while uttering words in any play or in front of a group of people? Don’t worry, still it’s never too late. You will feel a bit sad about it that day and that self-realisation to learn or improve will make you bold enough to do it! Have friends who post online in English? Don’t gloss over them in your newsfeed: scan the items they share and commit to exploring one or two each day. They might be news or magazine articles, videos, talks, blog posts, songs, or anything else: if it’s in English and the topic interests you, it’s going to be helpful! Talk to them on a small topic on a daily basis. Make sure they’re not judgemental and are ready for it! It’s not gonna take too much of the time! This will be the best! Can’t find topics to talk on? DM me

5. Ask a lot of questions :

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it also propelled the language learner to fluency! As you learn English, you’ll soon collect a mountain of questions. Don’t sit on your doubts – be curious and resolve them! If you’re enrolled in a course, ask your teacher (it’s what they’re there for, after all). But if you’re learning alone, don’t worry: find answers in blogs or language websites, ask other learners, or read through forums. You’ll be happy you did! Don’t be dumb and keep on delaying them, because those doubts are only gonna make you perfect! Again, here seek for answers and if u can’t, again DM me

6. Don’t kick yourself while you’re down :

When you start to feel like you’re not making ground – which happens to all learners at some point – don’t say, “I don’t speak English,” or “I’ll never get this.” In fact, ban those phrases from your vocabulary! They only blur your understanding of the progress you’re making and convince you that your dreams of speaking English well are impossible. Instead, say “I’m learning English and making improvements everyday,” “It’s not always easy, but it’s worth it,” “I’m so much better that I was six months ago,” and other phrases to remind yourself of the big picture.

7. Start with what you really need :

Your English studies are likely to go far more quickly if you constantly remind yourself of your motives for learning. I mean it’s a never ending process of learning! So you have lot of other options to learn it from – listen to some nice quality English songs while looking to at their lyrics on Shazam or something cause by that you’ll not only come over the new words but also with pronunciation of the words too, you can watch the interviews of actors and actresses to understand how the conversation is being made on a particular question or a topic, and if you’re a rich brat who is going to travel or frequently travels abroad, you have the right chance to meet new people and talk to them! If there’s a better way to learn English than being immersed in it while living and studying in an English-speaking country, I’d love to know! 

Well now that’s the end of these points!I hope you understood them well and are awaiting to take them down and go for it!If you are well-versed with the language also you can never be perfect at it.Still find difficulty, hit me up on my email or Instagram DM.See you super soon in next blog.

Hope you liked it!
