Five Top Tips for Learning English as a Foreign or SecondLanguage

There are Many Ways

While there are almost as many combinations of ways to learn English as there are English language learners, one thing is for sure. That is that no single method or combination of techniques or methods is "best" for everybody. With that said, I'd like to offer you these top five tips for learning English as a foreign or second language.

1. Immerse yourself in English whenever possible

If you're trying to learn English while still living in a non-English speaking country or foreign environment, you're already a bit "handicapped". You need to try to surround and immerse yourself in English as often and as much as possible through music, TV, radio, videos, friends and whatever else you can.

2. Talk with other English speakers

Where are the English-speakers where you live? Where might English-speaking ex-pats "hang out"? Where ever and whenever you can seek out English speakers and engage them in conversations. Loin clubs, organizations or attend meeting and social gatherings where English speakers congregate or might be found.

3. Practice in some way each and every day

However you can manage to do it, you absolutely MUST practice everyday. You can easily use a wide variety of methods to accomplish this. Watch a video or television program in English. Listen to music on the radio, talk shows or news in English too. You can chat with an English speaker, native or not. Read the news, sports results or celebrity gossiponline in English. Slide into an English language chat room or forum of interest to you, in English, of course.

4. Develop a Taste for the Culture

It's almost impossible to separate language from culture, so use it to deepen you knowledge, skills and understanding of theEnglish language. Do you know how to play baseball? How about hockey or Cricket? Well then, how's your knowledge of Lacrosse, American football or even basketball for that matter? Are familiar with regional foods of the USA, Canada, the UK or Australia and New Zealand? Boning up on the culture will invariably get you to learn more English in context using content-based learning.

5. Don't Emphasize Just One Skill

Contrary to what some schools, institutes and English language teachers advise, I don't recommend "focusing on one particular" English language skill. When you practice speaking or reading aloud, your listening comprehension skills improve. If you listen and repeat a spoken discourse selection, your speech in English will also improve - sometimes dramatically in a relatively short time. Reading will improve writing skills and writing practice will aid your reading comprehension abilities.

Use These Tips

Use these tips to help springboard your English language learning efforts and you'll soon begin to notice an increase in your communicative abilities. If you have any further questions, problems or need an additional "boost" just drop me a quick e-mail. I'll be happy to help.
