Do you ever feel frustrated because you can’t travel to an English-speaking country to learn English?
Today we have Ana Luiza from Ingles Online.
She is going to offer you three tips to make it work from home.
3 Ways to Learn English from Home:
- Don’t only read, start with audio: Don’t invest too much time in just reading if you don’t know the sounds of English. It’s common for people to start with just reading but they don’t use the audio to go with what they are reading. These students end up having strange pronunciation because they use the sounds of their native language. If you do this, it will be a huge waste of time.
- Listen to things that you understand: Start with English audio that you understand but can’t use quite yet. Don’t focus your time on English that you don’t understand. Once you understand something once, you need to see it again and again and review it. You need to see it used in different contexts and see it being used by different people. It takes time to acquire the language. It’s a process. Don’t jump ahead and skip over words that you think you already know.
- Start small: If you are busy and don’t have a lot of time consume English in small chunks. Fifteen minutes a day is great. Take small steps. Listen to English while you are doing something else like cooking.
Ana Luiza has shown us that it is possible to get better at English even if you can’t travel to an English-speaking country.
