How to Learn English

I am now teaching English for children and adults. Most of them ask me how to learn English effectively. People have their own way on learning. but here are some ways should match any of us.Should it be an idea to start.

Activating Our Vocabulary

Activating our vocabulary while thinking and working on something. For example, if you are going to study English on topics that focuses on your best friends, take a moment to think about your best friends, how they look, what their characters are, etc. This exercise will help our brain warm-up to vocabulary that we are likely to use as we study English about this particular subject.

Activating Your Grammar

Activating our grammar by thinking about the general grammar area before we begin to study. For example, if we are going to study English grammar focusing on the past, stop to think about what we did last weekend, where we went, etc. to help activate what we already understand about using the past. As with activating vocabulary, we will help our brain bring up what it knows about the past simple in an easy way before we begin to focus on studying English grammar in detail.

Singing a Song

Before class begins, or before we sit down to study English sing a song in English to ourselves. Make sure to use a song that we understand and know very well. This short and fun exercise will help our brain focus on the English language in a relaxing manner. It's important to be relaxed when you study English! Singing a song also helps activate the creative side of our brain which can help us come up with more examples as our practice conversation or do some creative writing.

Typing a Short Paragraph in English

If we are going to study English at our desk, begin by typing a simple paragraph in English. We can type about our day, our hobbies, our friends, etc. Anything will do. Typing helps activating the kinetic part of our brain that helps improve learning through physical activity. I also recommend typing while we study our English grammar. This will help solidify our knowledge with movement.

A Thousand Words ...

As the saying goes in English: A picture is worth a thousand words. Help activate the creative side of our brain by trying to describe a photo or other image. We can combine use this also to activate our vocabulary by choosing a picture that has something to do with the subject we are going to study in English.

I hope these steps can help our English learning activity. The most important of all is to do and give it a try.
