I·ve just thought up of some simple ways for anyone who is interested in improving their English. I myself am
trying to improve in this language each day. There·s always so much to learn and it can be really fun! You just
need to have the passion and enthusiasm to better yourself. 

 This is what most people would advise:  . Read anything and everything in English. You can read
story books, newspapers, magazines, blogs, comics, English textbooks, instructions and ingredients on
food packages, advertisements, etc. For story books, don·t force yourself to read something too
difficult or something you know you won·t enjoy. Make reading fun! Read books that you ENJOY
reading. I hate to read books that bore me too.

 This would be my favourite way of learning English. Not only do
I get to have a fun time watching the movie, I·d be learning new words at the same time and knowing
how to pronounce them! Usually, you can get movies with English subtitles on DVDs.

  Read the lyrics as you listen to the songs. Listen to your favourite songs and
sing along to them.

4.  

 

 This is one way for you to practice your writing. Blog on something that you
love. If you are a fan of movies, start a blog and write about your favourite movies, your favourite
characters, what you think could be improved in the movie, what new movies to expect next year,
etc. Besides blogging, try joining online forums, engage in online chatting and more.

  It·d be even more fun to have a pen
pal from a different country! I used to write to other people from the US, Germany, Mexico, and even
Yugoslavia. I remember feeling excited when I see letters with foreign stamps on it in my mailbox. If
you don·t want to spend too much money on stamps, then get a local pen pal.

 This is where you can write anything in it. But if you do write
something you wouldn·t want others to read, make sure you hide it somewhere safe! Or try not to
write anything offensive at all in case someone does find it. You can also write about neutral stuff
like the places you went that day, what you ate, who you met, what you did, etc.

7. è




 

  

 You can use Oxford, Collins, Cambridge, etc. Buy a
dictionary that you·re comfortable with and USE it at all times. Keep it next to you when you·re
reading. I always put my favourite Oxford dictionary by my side when I·m reading. So when I stumble
upon a word I don·t know, I don·t have to get up and look around for it. It·s right there by my side.
Thus, I have no excuse for not looking the word up!

  Speak it with friends and family. You can also sing along to
English songs! Try karaoke! Don·t be shy to try speaking the language. Don·t be afraid that others will
tease you. In fact, they·ll admire you for your courage and confidence.

 Keep your own vocabulary notebook and write a new word and its meaning
in it every day. Refer to it as often as possible so that the new words will stick in your head.

10.  You can also  

 
 

  a day. A kick in the teeth, sit on the fence,
make a clean sweep, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, a man·s home is his castle, etc.
When you come across a saying that you like, write it down and its meaning in your notebook!

Actually, there are many more ways for you to improve your English. If you have extra money to spend, you
can even sign up for English courses, English camps and so on. But why throw away your money when you can
learn the language in cheaper ways

Learn at your own pace. There·s no need to hurry when learning something especially a language. Make
learning English fun. Don·t give up too soon or get discouraged. Don·t get stressed out when it becomes a little
difficult.

If you have your own wacky or unique way of learning the language, please share it with me and the other
readers. The more, the merrier! Before I go, I·d like to wish you all the best in learning English!
