Learn English Effectively
Effective English learning requires focus on English conversation. The most successful students attempt first to master the spoken English before they concentrate on the written language.
All over the world, many students attempt to do the opposite. They make a mistake and learn English with their eyes. Their learning is based on classroom lectures, grammar books and textbooks.
The key to fluency, to speak like a native speaker and to develop a clear accent is listening to easy and understandable English conversation. In order to master the spoken English students must spend more than 80% of their study time on listening activities.
Just listening is not enough – students must use a particular system of listening. First, they must listen to “easy” English. This means that learners should listen to material that they mostly understand. The general rule is that the student should understand 95% of what they hear.
Understanding is not enough. Students must also have a lot of repetitions. If they hear a new word only once, they will soon forget it. If they hear it 5 times, they will still probably forget it! They must hear new words and new grammar many times before they will understand them instantly and absorbs the language into his or her subconscious. In most cases two hours a day of listening is sufficient to achieve English fluency in short time.
Finally, students must learn English with real English materials, English that is used everyday in conversations, books, movies, TV shows, comic books, audio books, articles, newspapers, magazines, and podcasts. If they want to understand native speakers, they must stop learning English from textbook, tapes and CDs. Native speakers use idioms, slang, and many casual phrases. Therefore, these components are vital for understanding and effective communication with them.
In summary, learning natural English conversation is the first, and most vital step to developing complete mastery of the English language.
