English is one of the most spoken

language in the world, that hides a lot of

interesting things and amazing culture

that are wainting to be discovered by

you. Learning this language can open

the doors to a lot of opportunities:

making new friends, finding captivating

information, watching movies with

original sound…

Nowadays , the technology has improved the quality of

learning a foreign language, especially English . Surfing

on the net can be helpful if you choose english pages.

As far as I know , there are a lot of methods to study

English by interactive ways:

1. Discussing with a native speaker:

I confess this is one of the best

methods to learn English, because when

you are discussing with a native speaker

you hear the way he pronounce the

words, the intonation. Also, you can

notice the most common words, phrases

or idioms .

2. Learning lyrics: You can learn a lot

of words, phrases while you are listening to

your favourite song and checking it’s lyrics.

Listening songs can help you to get

familiar with English sounds and will

allow you to focus on your pronunciation

and understanding language’s rhythm, tone

and beat. Moreover many of the words and

sound patterns within a song are repetitive

and this fact makes easier to learn English.

We can remember a lot of new words,

because songs are emotional, deep and

powerful. Even after a long period of time

you find it almost impossible to forget the

lyrics.

3. Watching American/English

movies:

If you a fan of movies, you will notice

that the original

soundtrack it’s better than the dubbed

one. When you are watching movies you

learn a lot of English sentences, words.

Sometimes you get tempted to speak like

actors, and this fact can improve your

English diction and accent.

4. Reading English book:

Reading books can help you

to enrich the vocabulary, to

learn the correct grammar,

and a lot of phrases . Each

thought is different by

structure and only in this way

you can put them in the right

way, noticing the author’s

writing style.

5. Stick notes on the wall : Post words onto a

wall or board, learn them everyday and take

them down when you know them.

6. Playing games : It is

one of the most

interesating and funny

method that you can share

with your family or

friends. You can play

games such as ‘Memory’

or ‘Snap’ with a partner,

by matching words to their

meanings .

7. Learn English poems: Poems, like

song, express a lot of emotions, and

help you to improve the

pronunciation. Simple rhymes are

melodic and attractive, that’s why it’s

easier to remember the words.

8. Write in your Diary in English: Write your

personal experiences , moment, feeling, memories

just in English. It will help you a lot to learn

English, and to practice writing skills. Eventually,

you can write simple sentences, in the meantime you

can use a dictionary to find unknown words. Do it

as frequently as you can, because just daily writing

can help you to improve your english .

Taking into consideration all the above said,

learning English it’s not as difficult as it seems.

You should put in practice all the methods in

order to have efficient results. Vincent Van Gogh

said ‘Great things are done by a series of small

things brought together’ . Don’t miss a thing

connected with English language in your everyday

life. Even reading product’s ingredients, hearing an

English song on the radio, reading interesting

stuff in English, communicating in English on the

social network, watching english TV shows

definetly will help you to know, speak, feel , think

in English!
