1. WELCOME TO
LEARNING ENGLISH

2. HOW TO LEARN ENGLISH
EFFECTIVELY
SITTING AT A TABLE LOOKING AT YOUR
NOTEBOOK IS NOT THE BEST WAY TO STUDY
ENGLISH. MOST OF THE TIME, YOUR MIND IS NOT
ACTIVELY USING THE INFORMATION THAT YOU
ARE STUDYING, AND PRACTICAL LEARNING
DOES NOT TAKE PLACE. HERE ARE SOME
TECHNIQUES THAT WILL HELP YOU LEARN
MORE EFFECTIVELY.

3. WRITE A JOURNAL
• Writing every day lets you see your grammar clearly
in front of you, express your ideas, and use a non-oral
method in communicate in English. Then read the
corrected version out loud.
• It is a good idea to re-copy the corrected journal too,
so that you will have the experience of writing your
ideas down in proper English.

4. READ A BOOK
• By Reading A Story, You Create A Picture In Your Imagination
That Will Connected Different Parts Of Your Brain To English.
Find A Book That Is Not Too Difficult.
• Do Not Stop Every Time You Find A New Word.
• Guess What The Word Probably Means, Continue Reading, And
Check In Your Dictionary At The End Of The Page Or Chapter.

5. RE-WRITE YOUR CLASS NOTES
EVERY DAY.
• Writing your notes a second time will
allow you to remember more strongly
what you study.
• It will also make your notebook neater,
making it easier to study.

6. WATCH TV AND MOVIES, AND LISTEN TO THE RADIO.
• Even if you don’t understand everything,
you will still be learning.
• It is possible to understand the content
even if you know only 30% of the words
that you hear!
• Your listening ability will improve day by
day-and it’s fun!

7. KEEP A VOCABULARY NOTEBOOK IN A SEPARATE
NOTEBOOK FROM YOUR CLASS NOTES
• Take an active approach to learning new vocabulary.
• If you find 5 words a day, 6 days a week, you will learn about 140 new words a month; 10
words a day would bring you over than 280 new words a month.
• Hint – approach new words by subject: things connected to your hobies, to your interests
etc.
• Do it this way:
• Think of a word you know in your language.
• Look it up in your dictionary.
• When you find the English word, write it down on the left side of your vocabulary note
book.
• In the midle of the page, write down if the word is a noun (n), verb (v), adjective (adj), etc.
so that you will know how to use the word.
• Look the word up in an English-English dictionary.
• Write the English definition on the right side of the the page (or on the next page).
• Copy a sentence from the dictionary. This will help you learn how to use the word
correctly.
• Practice reading this sentence untll it becomes natural for you.

8. SPEAK LOTS OF ENGLISH WITH YOUR
FRINDS
• You improve your spoken English by speaking
English in different situations with people of all
nationalities.
• If you want to speak English better in the future,
speak it as much as possible now!

9. THINK POSITIVELY
• People who say “I can’t speak English well” are
corrected.
• People who say “Every day in every way, my
English is getting better and better” are also
correct.
• What you think is what you get.
• Practice saying the second sentence every day,
and you will see greater improvement in your
English and in your confidence.
• Remember: the more fun you have with
English,the easier it will be to learn ENJOY
