MORE TIPS ON LEARNING ENGLISH.

***Motivation is half the Work.
“Boring!” Well, that’s definitely not the way it works.
Try to find a positive aspect to studying.
- Why not watch your favourite film in English and write down some useful words or phrases that you want to remember.
- You could also read the lyrics of Top 10 songs and try to understand what they are about.
- Or check out celebrity sites and learn more about famous actors, bands and other stars. This sure is good for your vocabulary and on top of that
– It’s lots of fun. Always look on the bright side of life.

***Study English every Day.
How many English words can I learn per day? 10 English words or phrases per day aren’t too many, are they? Just give it a try. You will find that you can learn them in next to no time.So why not take a little time each day (Monday to Friday) to learn 10 new words? Use the weekend to revise what you have learned during the past week(s). This way you’ll enrich your English vocabulary by 50 new words per week. (That’s 200 new English words after a month!)

***Targets.
Set small, achievable targets, e.g.:
- learn 10 new English words or phrases every day, Mondays to Fridays (repeat on Saturdays, relax on Sundays)
- unlearn one typical mistake before the next test (see our backlog analysis )
- study 15 minutes every day !!!!
- read the lyrics of an English song every week and try to understand its main content.
- read and try to understand one short English text every week.
Reaching your target step by step is much better than setting a huge target that you cannot achieve. Easy does it … and keeps your motivation up.

THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING GRAMMAR.

"What is grammar? Why should you study English grammar?
Grammar is the fundamental building blocks of a language.
As a student of English as a second or foreign language, it is important for you to have a thorough understanding of the English grammar system.
As children, we all learned to speak our native language before we learned the grammar. Learning a second language is different than learning our first or native language, though. Learning the grammar system of English, or any second language, will help you improve your second language abilities faster and more efficiently"
