top tips to study English

 Point 1
Be clear about why you want to learn English. Do you want it for your job, to help you
get a job, to talk to English speakers, to help you study?
Point 2
Be clear about how good you want your English to be. How good do you want to be at
speaking English, listening, reading, writing?
Point 3
Have a clear image of yourself when you have achieved the proficiency that you want.
What will you see, what will you hear, how will you feel?
Point 4
If possible, enrol on a language course. If you can’t, put yourself in situations where
you can use English which leads on to …..
Point 5
Look for opportunities to learn and use English. Speak English whenever you can. Listen
to the radio and CDs in English, read and write in English. If you look for opportunities,
you will find them.
Point 6
Write down new words and phrases in a notebook. Keep the notebook with you so you
can look at it when you have a spare moment.
Point 7
Practise, practise, practise. There’s an expression in English. If you don’t want to lose it,
use it. This is very true when it comes to learning foreign languages.
Point 8
Find a learning buddy or colleague. Find someone you can learn English with. Speak with
each other. Send each other messages in English.
Point 9
Learn little and often. Make it a habit to learn English ten minutes each day. This is
much better than learning for longer once a week.
And the final point. At the beginning of a learning period, ask yourself, “What do I want
to learn today?” At the end of a period, ask yourself, “What have I learnt today?”
