Here are a few tips we’ve put together to help you learn English well .
Speak , speak , speak !
Practise speaking as often as you can —even speaking to yourself is good practice .
Try recording yourself whenever you can . Compare your pronunciation with the master version （版本）, see how you can do better and have another go . If you do this several times , you will find that each version is better than the last .
Why not learn with someone else ?
It helps if you can learn with someone else . If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you , it will make you keep working .
Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t know .
Practise improvising （即兴的）ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously （本能地）, even if you don’t know the exact words or phrases . Think of things you might want to say whenever you have spare time . Use facial expressions , hand movements , anything to get your meaning across .
Language learning is also about intuition （直觉）.
Guesswork is an important way to learn a new language . When listening to recorded material , you aren’t expected to understand everything first time round . If you play the same piece several times , you will most probably understand something new each time .
Build up your vocabulary .
A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don’t try to learn too much at once. It’s best to study frequently , for short periods of time . Take at most six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them .Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind , then come back to them later .
And above all , have fun !
