2. HOW TO LEARN ENGLISH
EFFECTIVELY
SITTING AT A TABLE LOOKING AT YOUR
NOTEBOOK IS NOT THE BEST WAY TO
STUDY ENGLISH. MOST OF THE TIME, YOUR
MIND IS NOT ACTIVELY USING THE
INFORMATION THAT YOU ARE STUDYING,
AND PRACTICAL LEARNING DOES NOT TAKE
PLACE. HERE ARE SOME TECHNIQUES THAT
WILL HELP YOU LEARN MORE EFFECTIVELY.

3. WRITE A JOURNAL
• Writing every day lets you see your grammar clearly in
front of you, express your ideas, and use a non-oral
method in communicate in English. Then read the
corrected version out loud.
• It is a good idea to re-copy the corrected journal too, so
that you will have the experience of writing your ideas
down in proper English.

4. READ A BOOK
• By Reading A Story, You Create A Picture In Your
Imagination That Will Connected Different Parts Of Your
Brain To English. Find A Book That Is Not Too Difficult.

7. KEEP A VOCABULARY NOTEBOOK IN A
SEPARATE NOTEBOOK FROM YOUR CLASS
NOTES
• Take an active approach to learning new vocabulary.
• If you find 5 words a day, 6 days a week, you will learn about 140 new words a month;
10 words a day would bring you over than 280 new words a month.
• Hint – approach new words by subject: things connected to your hobies, to your
interests etc.
• Do it this way:
• Think of a word you know in your language.
• Look it up in your dictionary.
• When you find the English word, write it down on the left side of your vocabulary note
book.
• In the midle of the page, write down if the word is a noun (n), verb (v), adjective (adj),
etc. so that you will know how to use the word.
• Look the word up in an English-English dictionary.
• Write the English definition on the right side of the the page (or on the next page).
• Copy a sentence from the dictionary. This will help you learn how to use the word
correctly.
• Practice reading this sentence untll it becomes natural for you.

YOUR FRINDS

English in different situations with people of all
nationalities.
• If you want to speak English better in the future,
speak it as much as possible now!

9. THINK POSITIVELY
• People who say “I can’t speak English well” are corrected.
• People who say “Every day in every way, my English is
getting better and better” are also correct.
• What you think is what you get.
• Practice saying the second sentence every day, and you will
see greater improvement in your English and in your
confidence.

will be to learn ENJOY
