TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH FLUENCY FASTER
Learning and improving English skill is not an instant thing to do. We sometimes met several difficulties while trying to learn it. From similar words that can make us confused, grammar that is complicated to remember, or maybe we often find it difficult to grasp the conversation that others do because of the differences in their way of speaking.
But, don’t worry! We already summarize some easy to do tips that can be helpful for you who are trying to learn English faster. Here’s what you can do:
- Listen to A LOT of English
This method can be easily done by us. By changing the audio setting to English, listening to music or podcasts, and watching films or series that contain the language can help us to improve our listening skill. It will make our ears familiar with the words that are mostly used in daily conversation and later, we will get used to hearing English conversation.
- Talk in English with Others
Communicating is a crucial thing that we do as humans. Having others that speak English around us can be a starting point for us to try and speak English to others. Do not worry about the grammar mistakes or speaking fluency because we’re trying to learn here. The conversation that we have with others would help us so that we are confident when we’re talking in English.
- Read Any English Literature
Books, news, journals, articles, or any other sources containing English words can add new vocabularies for us. The amount of vocabulary that we already know would help to differentiate between the new vocabulary and the familiar one. Lots of reading is helpful to improve our writing skills. We can make new phrases and minimize repetition while writing essays or assignments.
- Take Notes of New Vocabularies
When we find an unknown word that we have never heard of before, don’t forget to write it down on our notes so that we can look it up later. Writing it down helps us to remember the words longer and cement it in our memory. The words will broaden our vocabulary and we can use them later on when we need it. These classic tips will always help us in our learning process.
- Talk to Yourself in the Mirror
If talking to others might be uncomfortable, try to practice by talking to the mirror. Speaking to yourself in the mirror can help us be secure in talking in English. It also helps with our confidence. Practice makes perfect. So, try to do it as much as we can until our pronunciation and speaking improve. Don’t forget to pay attention to our expression and always make eye contact even though it’s just us in the mirror. This can be an alternative way for us who don’t have any relatives that can help with practicing conversation.
Those are some useful tips that can help us to improve our English skills faster. Don’t forget that effort and constant practice plays a big role in our success!
