How to learn English quickly: 5 tips

1. Read anything in English that you can get your hands on, including classic literature, paperbacks, newspapers, websites, emails, your social media feed, even cereal boxes. Why? This material will be chock-full of exciting new language, as well as those you may already be familiar with. This aids rapid improvement since re-exposure to previously taught vocabulary provides fresh instances in context, strengthening those words in your mind. Learning new words and expressions, on the other hand, is critical to expanding your vocabulary, especially in a language like English, which has so many!

2. Make a conscious effort to remember new vocabulary.

This is a tried-and-true suggestion for a reason: it works! We frequently like a new term or phrase so much when we're learning it that forgetting it seems impossible. But believe us when we say that not everything sticks the first time. To combat this, make it a habit to carry a quirky notepad with you or use a program like Evernote. When you hear or read a new term or expression, write it down in context: in a sentence with its meaning indicated. This saves time since you won't have to go back to that term and wonder, "What did that word/expression imply again?

3. Interact with actual people.

Consider how many times you've heard someone remark, "I understand, but I don't speak English." Many aspiring English speakers have made conversation into an impenetrable barrier that only serves to stress them out. Don't be that way. Look out native speakers for a casual language conversation, enroll in a class, or take online lessons.

4. Follow podcasts or Youtube channels (in English)

Do you like a good laugh? Politics? Blogging? Cooking? There's an English-speaking podcast or Youtube channel for every hobby conceivable. Subscribe to a handful and listen to or watch them while traveling to school or work. The native accents may be tough at first, but stick with it and you'll soon be able to comprehend what you're hearing (along with learning a lot of new vocabulary from a native speaker!

5. Make use of your pals

Do you have pals who post in English on the internet? Don't just skim over their posts in your newsfeed; examine the items they share and make a commitment to investigating one or two of them each day. It might be news or magazine articles, movies, speeches, blog entries, music, or anything else: as long as it's in English and the subject interests you, it'll be useful!
