Some Strategies for Learning English
Learning English is by no means easy. It takes great diligence and prolonged
effort.
Nevertheless, while you cannot expect to gain a good command of English
without sustained hard work, there are various helpful learning strategies you can
employ to make the task easier. Here are some of them.

1.
Do not treat all new words in exactly the same
way. Have you ever complained about your memory
because you find it simply impossible to memorize all
the new words you are learning? But, in fact, it is not
your memory that is at fault. If you cram your head with
too many new words at a time, some of them are bound
to be crowded out. What you need to do is to deal with
new words in different ways according to how frequently they occur in everyday
use. While active words demand constant practice and useful words must be
committed to memory, words that do not often occur in everyday situations
require just a nodding acquaintance. You will find concentrating on active and
useful words the most effective route to enlarging your vocabulary.

2. Watch out for idiomatic ways of saying things. Have you ever wondered
why we say, “I am interested in English”, but “I am good at French”? And have
you ever asked yourself why native English speakers say, “learn the news or
secret”, but “learn of someone’s success or arrival”? These are all examples of
idiomatic usage. In learning English, you must pay attention not only to the
meaning of a word, but also to the way native speakers use it in their daily lives.
3. Listen to English every day. Listening to English on a regular basis will
not only improve your ear, but will also help you build your speaking skills. In
addition to language tapes especially prepared for your course, you can also
listen to English radio broadcasts, watch English TV, and see English movies.
The first time you listen to a taped conversation or
passage in English, you may not be able to catch a great
deal. Try to get its general meaning first and listen to it
over and over again. You will find that with each repetition
you will get something more.

4. Seize opportunities to speak. It is true that there are few situations at
school where you have to communicate in English, but you can seek out
opportunities to practice speaking the language. Talking with your classmates,
for example, can be an easy and enjoyable way to get some practice. Also try to
find native speakers on your campus and feel free to talk with them. Perhaps the
easiest way to practice speaking is to rehearse aloud,
since this can be done at any time, in any place, and
without a partner. For instance, you can look at pictures
or objects around you and try to describe them in detail.
You can also rehearse everyday situations. After you
have made a purchase in a shop or finished a meal in a
restaurant and paid the check, pretend that all this
happened in an English-speaking country and try to act it
out in English.

5. Read widely. It is important to read widely because in our learning
environment, reading is the main and most reliable source of language input.
When you choose reading materials, look for things that you find interesting,
that you can understand without relying too much on a dictionary. A page a day
is a good way to start. As you go on, you will find that you can do more pages a
day and handle materials at a higher level of difficulty.

6. Write regularly. Writing is a good way to practice
what you already know. Apart from compositions
assigned by your teacher, you may find your own reasons
for writing. A pen pal provides good motivation; you will
learn a lot by trying to communicate with someone who
shares your interests, but comes from a different culture.
Other ways to write regularly include keeping a diary,
writing a short story and summarizing the daily news.
Language learning is a process of accumulation. It pays to absorb as much as
you can from reading and listening and then try to put what you have learned into
practice through speaking and writing.
