Suggestions on how to learn English effectively for beginners

Let’s learn to listen to English first

The effective English learning process is listening - repeating - memorizing - repeating. Your ears need time to adapt to the sounds of a new language. Listen to the listening that is suitable for your current level of English, then memorize and repeat word by word, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph.

Beginners should listen to the lessons with basic content, and read slowly. Once you've mastered the sounds of the new language, you can repeat them over and over to improve your memorization and pronunciation.

Listening to the same sentences over and over again may sound boring, but it is necessary. When practicing new sentences, break the sentences into parts and then make sentences for each part. Ask your teacher to adjust your intonation so it looks as natural as possible.

For example, with the sentence "Would you like an apple?"

We can break it down into apple > an apple > like an > like an apple> Would you > Would you like an apple?

Read everything you see

Classic literature, paperbacks, newspapers, websites, emails, social media feeds, cereal boxes: if it's English then read it. Why? Because this content will be full of interesting new vocabulary, as well as a decent amount of words you already know. This helps you improve your English quickly, as re-exposure to learned vocabulary will give you the new examples in context, thus reinforcing those words in your mind better. On the other hand, learning new words and expressions is essential to building your vocabulary, especially in a language with a lot of words like English! However, don't just read - next, you must…

Actively record new vocabulary

This tip is a classic because it works! When learning, we are often so interested in a new word of a phrase that we can't forget it, but not everything can be remembered the first time. To not forget new vocabulary, get in the habit of carrying a notebook or using a tool like Evernote. Whenever you hear or read a new word or phrase, put it in context: that is, in a sentence and with its meaning. This saves you time because you won't go back to that word and ask yourself: "What else does that word/phrase mean?"

Ask a lot of questions

Curiosity can motivate English learners to learn better and progress faster! When you learn English, you will soon collect a lot of questions. Therefore, when you come across questions, be curious and solve them!

If you have signed up for a quality course to learn English in HCM, ask the teacher a question. If you're studying alone, don't worry: look for answers in blogs or websites that teach English, ask other learners, or read through forums.

Get out of your comfort zone

A common mistake that English learners make is that they don't push themselves to use the language they are learning in real-life situations. Try to spend as much time as possible practicing English with native speakers. This way, you are forced to practice outside of the classroom.

If you don't have any English-speaking friends around, come meet and exchange English or find people to chat with online at Eclass - the English tutor with native speakers. It won't be easy at first: you may feel self-conscious and worry about what other people think when you make a word or grammar mistake. But remember, learning is a process and you are making progress every day. Just get out of your comfort zone: that's where you grow.
