Speaking and Listening to English
>> Sunday, January 23, 2011
Many people throughout the world are learning English due to the fact that English can be used everywhere for communication. However, lots of them haven't reached the level that they can use English as a global language fluently to communicate with people from other parts of the world. How could they improve their English level?
As for this problem, you need to consider at least two aspects in your learning process. One is speaking, the other is listening. At first, let's look at English speaking.
Based on some basic English knowledge like pronunciation, vocabulary and basic grammar, you can start speaking English. You can try to make up some very easy sentences slowly in the beginning in case that you may make very stupid mistakes while talking with others. But you shouldn't be too careful to be afraid of speaking any sentences. You have to bear in mind on the other hand that everybody makes mistakes. Really the first step for you to take is to open your mouth to speak a different language in spite of others' laughter and your own shyness.
Certainly if you think possible, you can use some language learning software to help you speak. To be honest, it is a very nice way to try, but you must know that you can only imitate the standard pronunciation and learn how the software organizes different suitable topics for consistent speaking. Generally, using this software, you can really understand how to speak English in your way.
Then you must keep listening to English everyday. When you listen to the native English speakers, you need to keep very focused, trying to catch every English word he or she says. On the one hand, you need to learn more things about English culture; on the other hand, you have to enlarge your vocabulary. Really there might be some other kinds of problems biting you, but you need to pull them out one by one and solve them afterwards.
In fact, this paragraph is something about intensive English listening, but you need to do extensive English listening on the other hand. This time you don't need to understand everything of your target passage, you only need to generalize the meaning of it and you can learn some good traditional English expressions incidentally.
In a word, you must save no energy to learn this new language for your future use.
