1. The best ways to learn English
“One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every
door along the way.”
Frank Smith
Nowadays, English is the most popular language in the world as a first
language and a second one. It is very important to learn it and to be able
to speak it, because if you know English, you know the whole world.
You may improve your level of English in many ways, and now I will
describe several of them.
First method is schooling. Every person has to attend school and learn
systematically proposed objects. School gives us a good foundation to
study English in practice. Qualified teachers help us to study the
language at elementary level both in oral form as well as in written.
The Good Old-Fashioned Image Recall Technique is a classic method
of language learning at home by yourself. The idea is that you look at
images and hear the native word for that image at the same time, thus
developing a mental association between the two. If successful, when
you attempt to recall the word at a later date, the image will appear in
your mind and affirm the correct choice of word.
Group Interaction – Word Repetition represents the traditional
classroom learning environment. The language techniques taught in the
classroom will vary but largely consist of word repetition as conducted
by the teacher. However, it isn’t necessarily the techniques taught in the
classroom that make the difference in a person’s success in picking up a
language and gaining a solid level of proficiency. The classroom
environment creates competition between individual learners, and
therefore, in the majority of people, increases motivation to do well.
Home study using language learning software has become the most
popular way of learning a language in the modern day. There are a
number of reasons for this, including study-time flexibility, a multi-
faceted approach to learning and a far more affordable way to study than
attending classes or hiring a tutor.
Studying abroad is a good option to study English in a country where it
is spoken as a first language. The main advantage of such learning is that
you are totally immersed in the language, not just in class, but the rest of
the time as well. As a result, you should make fairly rapid progress.
2. Another benefit of studying abroad is that you get to try the local cusine,
to meet the locals and to sample the local culture.
Travelling is a great chance to study English. Being in a country where
is spoken an unknown language for you, involuntary you will be able to
speak several phrases in English and it will become your first step in
learning.
Online courses-If you cannot find a suitable taught course in your area
and you are unable to spare the time to study abroad, you could consider
online courses. There are plenty to choose from in a wide range of
languages.
Teaching yourself-There are many different courses designed for self-
study available. These include textbooks, with or without cassettes or
CDs, cassettes alone, videos, DVDs and CD-ROMs. Each type of course
has its strengths and weaknesses.
Studying in Access Group is a good way to improve your English.

Learning a new language is having a new world in your hands. It is
never late to study English, but how interesting and developing is it?!
You may discover a new world through a new language, and it is
great!!!
