Many people ask "what is the secret to learning English"? I think they should ask "what is a good way to learn English"? Because learning a language can be boring and frustrating, the key is to have fun learning it! Here are some ways to make English a little more interesting.
1) Watch English movies. First watch the movie with translations and/or subtitles one or two times. Then watch it in English. You will realize that you understand a lot more the second and third times.
2) Go to the library and borrow some books with pictures. This might be a little embarrassing but like watching movies, having something to look at makes a language easier to learn.
3) Listen to English music. I recommend slower songs. Also, try to stay away from songs with slang. You will have a headache listening to hip hop if you dont understand regular English.
4) When you are bored or you are waiting for something, maybe in a doctor's office or at the bus stop, THINK in English. Try to describe everything around you. This will help your English and help you "kill some time".
5) PRACTICE! Try to talk as much as you can. If you are uncomfortable having conversations in the streets, then that is why there are sites like
http://forum.wordreference.com/ and Italki.com.
These steps are most useful for those that have a basic knowledge in English. If you dont understand basic grammar, then there is only one way to learn English and that is to read a textbook. But if you are at an intermediate level, you might want to try these tips. I hope this helps you guys and If anyone has any questions, you can send me a message and I will try my best to help you.
