WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH EASILY

 Easy Ways to Improve Your English

1. Learn a new word or expression every day and try to use it in a sentence.

2. Read a book over the holidays. Try setting yourself the goal of just 10 pages a day.

3. Sign up for a language-learning newsletter and receive free content via e-mail or mobile phone text messages.

4. Listen to or read the lyrics to a song. Once you’ve learnt it, sing along to the song… or sing it to some friends.

5. Learn as many words as you can from one lexical set: the computer, sports, hobbies, pets, the pub, etc.

6. Watch a DVD in English with the English subtitles switched on.

7. Try watching a film that you’ve already seen in your own language. You’ll find it much easier to follow.

8. Write updates on your Facebook or Twitter page in English. Alternatively, write a blog in English and share it with your friends.

9. As you’re doing something, describe what it is in English. For example, “I’m writing a report. / I’m sending an e-mail. / I’m jogging in the park.”

10. Speak in English with your friends for ten minutes every day.

11. Get someone to have a conversation with him/her for an hour a week. Foreign students in most towns or cities would be more than happy to earn €10 to €15 an hour just for chatting.

12. Read an article online in your own language. Then, copy and paste the text into “Google Translate” and translate it into English. Once you’ve done that, read the English translation of the article. As you’ve already read it in your own language, you’ll be amazed at how much you understand.

Have fun! And happy learning.
