My learning styles. how to learn English.
these days, the number of people who are learning English or want to learn English is increasing. of course, I am one of them. Now, I am studying Economics in English in Germany. But I still have to study English because my English level is not enough to keep up with courses I'm taking in this semester. I acknowledge about it, there are some parts that I cannot understand what professor says and even in conversations with my friend. Moreover, on the news, I get the information the number of English learners is increased. Then I decided to write this sentence here, I am really grateful if I could help you.
When it comes to saying first, I have two main parts for me to study or learn English. They are listening and speaking.
First, it's a listening skill. you have sometimes heard that to improve listening skill, you should watch English movie, drama and music. But I do not recommend them at all. I know it depends on how level you are in though, if you are an English beginner or intermediate level, it would be difficult to listen these of them. So, what I recommend you is to watch YouTube channel or videos that you can 80% understand the contents. For me, when I was in university student, I was watching Japanese youtuber who are posting English interview to foreigner. the reason why I choose this channel is because her English is kind of Japanese accent and easy for me to understand. through keeping this habit like watching one her video at least in a day, my listening skill was improved a lot. it is difficult to prove how I could improve it though,,,, Anyway, I recommend you watch what you can understand 80% of contents.
Finally, it's a speaking. there would be many options to practice that. But what I recommend is the way that you do that by yourself. if it is called in Japanse, we say 独り言英会話. The way to do that is just to decide what you say in English and explain about that in English. At first, you should do that for 5 minutes. Then, it is good to be extended. For instance, the theme is sports because recently FIFA world cup was going. So, you should which country you supported, which games you remembered the best, which player or players were amazing to play and so on. This is the way to practice speaking skill. in this method, you should change theme every day so that you are used to making English sentences.
However, most important thing is to keep doing every day!
I hope that this tip is helpful for someone who is learning English.
