Tips for learning English

               1. With just 20 minutes a day, you can really improve your English. Read for 10 minutes (an online article, a graded reader,etc), and listen for 10 minutes (a You Tube video, the news, your favourite TV series, etc). You'll soon notice the difference!

               2. Try to learn 10 English words every day. In one week, you'll have learnt 70, in a month about 300, and in a year over 3.000! The average British person has an active vocabulary of about 5.000 words. So, it won't take you long to learn all the most important terms in English.

              3. Don't worry about making "mistakes". Even native speakers get things wrong when speaking. It happens when you'are talking fast.

              4. Listening is the key to language learning. So listen to English as much as you can! Just 10 minutes a day (but every day) is enough to really help you improve your listening ability.
Listening to English regularly will help you develop an ear for the language. Eventually, you'll be able to distinguish words and sounds, and then you'll start learning really quickly.

             5. Repeat words and expressions after you hear them. This will develop your ability to produce language. It'll also help you memorise any words or expressions.

             6. When listening, don't worry about understanding every single word. Focus on the general meaning and try to guess what the speakers are saying. This is what you do in your own language.

             7. Remember to listen for gist- a general understanding of what people are saying. It's extremely difficult to hear or understand every single word- not even native speakers do that.

             8. Build up your own personal dictionary of words and expressions that you like. Then, spend time learning them. Also, try to use these words and expressions when you're speaking or writing.

            9. Be patient!
