Short Guide To Learning English

If you are one of those people who can understand others when they speak in English, but you struggle when you have to make your own sentences, you probably need to work on your grammar and expand your vocabulary. Although this will take time, here are some tips you can follow to make your learning process more enjoyable.

Read Something New Every Day

A great way to learn new words and understand the way English grammar works is to read as much as possible. You can choose anything you like, just make sure you look up every new word and phrase you don’t understand.

On our blog, we have plenty of amazing articles written by language professionals that will help you expand your vocabulary and find more effective ways of learning English, so if you’re looking for something to read, go and check it out.

Listen to Native Speakers

Listening to radio programmes or podcasts in your free time is a really fun way of learning new words and phrases, as well as getting to know the local culture more in-depth. To make the best use of these resources, you should always have a notepad with you while you listen, so you can write down every new expression you hear, and try to use them in a sentence later.

Another thing you can do is shadowing, which is a very useful learning technique that consists of repeating any new word or phrase you hear on the TV, the radio, or on YouTube, in real time, trying to copy the exact pronunciation and intonation of the original audio.

If you want to do this, it’s really important you listen to actual native speakers, so if in doubt, ask your English teacher to help you find shows and podcasts that are hosted by Australians.
