top 5 tips english language learners

1- Listen to English
When activating listening skills, focus on what you do understand rather than what you don't. It's very common for students to listen to English and then feel disappointed and frustrated when they don't understand something. This is perfectly normal, even native English speakers struggle with accents and regional varieties of English. Enjoy listening to English, and praise yourself on what you do understand. This will increase your confidence and of course your listening skills.

2- Practice, Practice, Practice
 If someone you know reads a whole book about how to drive a car, does it mean they can then drive? Probably not! Clearly reading books is useful, but practice really is the key to language learning success. It's important to realise that while language can be studied from a theoretical approach, it is a practical skill. Practical = Practice!!


3- Word Partnerships
Do you ever do mistakes in English? Well, if you thought that sentence was correct then you probably need some help with collocation! Collocation is used to express common word partnerships. So, in English, we don't ‘do' mistakes, we ‘make' them. Why? Well, it's just about word partnerships and what sounds right to our ears. Developing your understanding of English collocation is essential at all levels of language learning, from beginners to advanced. In my experience, students who are aware of collocation generally reach a much higher level of fluency than those who are not.

4-Your Language vs English
Spend time familiarizing yourself with the linguistic differences between your language and English. This can help prevent common mistakes made by your first language influencing your English. There is a good book available on line that identifies common mistakes made by learners depending on the influence of their mother tongue. It talks about common grammatical mistakes, pronunciation issues, alongside false friends and collocation. You could also compare translations of your language to English and vice versa to develop your understanding of differences between languages. You can download the online version of the book the bottom of this article. 


5- Vary your Reading Materials
Different types of material contain different sets of vocabulary. While it's great to read a newspaper every day, do try to include other reading materials such as magazines, blogs and books. Again, like with listening, don't worry about the words you don't know, just read the article from start to finish. After reading, think about what you understood. You might then want to go back to certain parts of the reading that you found difficult to understand and check the meanings of new vocabulary. It's only advisable to learn around 7 -10 words for each reading you do, any more than that and it will be difficult to remember them all.

top 7 tips for speaking in English

Manek, an engineering graduate from Bhopal, said that the following practices helped him when he was learning English:

1. The first thing I would do after getting up every morning was read the newspaper, front to back. It doesn’t matter which newspaper you subscribe to, as long as it is a major English-language paper, such as The Hindu, The Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Indian Express, etc.  While different people have different opinions on the quality of each paper, they are all more or less equally useful in getting to learn the language. It is also not necessary to read every page and article; it is time-consuming and sometimes boring. However, you should most definitely look for articles that interest you.
2. Once learned, I also made a conscious effort to use the words in conversation. This instilled the words in my head and I was able to draw on them whenever required.
3. Another thing my group of friends and I kept in mind was the importance of talking only in English, whenever possible. During our weekly meetings, not a word of Hindi (the only other language any of us poke) was uttered. This sort of commitment is absolutely necessary if you want to develop fluency.
4. A couple of weeks into my learning experience, a friend broached the issue of language of thought during one of our meetings. This, too, is an interesting aspect of one’s linguistic foundations: what language do you think in? I realised that I thought in Hindi, and thus whenever I spoke in English, I was, in a way, translating in my head. This made the entire process slower and more laborious, so I decided to start making a conscious effort to think in English. When I spoke in Hindi, I was often trying to figure out beforehand what the phrase would be in English before I said it. This takes some getting used to, but soon you will find it has become second nature; the phrases come fast and easy.
5. I made it a point to pick up at least one English book a month. I cannot stress the importance of this enough; books introduce you to the possibilities of the language, expose you to the various ways in which words can be manipulated and played around with. Your vocabulary of words, phrases, colloquialisms, etc will increase sharply this way. Also, reading develops thinking, i.e. as you read, you will automatically begin to think more in the language that your reading material is written in.
6. Every night I would watch an English news channel (NDTV, Headlines Today, CNN-IBN, etc) for at least half an hour. The news anchors and reporters generally speak very crisp and proper English. It is also useful to watch English TV shows.
7. I developed the habit of paying close attention whenever I was within listening distance of a conversation in English. This may seem like eavesdropping, but when someone is speaking loud enough in public for others to hear him or her, it is unlikely that anything very personal is being discussed. At least, I defended my practice with that rationale, because it helped me pick up common phrases on a daily basis.
