20 Ways to Increase Your English Skills
1. Start your own English language blog.
Even for people who don’t have to write in English,
writing can be a great way of properly learning the kind of
vocabulary you need to describe your own life and interests,
and of thinking about how to stop making grammar mistakes. The
problem most people have is that they don’t know what to write
about. One traditional way to make sure you write every day
in English is to write an English diary (journal), and a more
up to date way of doing this is to write a blog. Popular topics
include your language learning experience, your experience
studying abroad, your local area, your language, or
translations of your local news into English.
2. Write a news diary.
Another daily writing task that can work for people who
would be bored by writing about their own routines in a diary
is to write about the news that you read and listen to everyday.
If you include your predictions for how you think the story
will develop (e.g. “I think Hillary will become president”),
this can give you a good reason to read old entries another
time, at which time you can also correct and mistakes you have
made and generally improve what you have written.
3. Sign up for a regular English tip.
Some websites offer a weekly or even daily short English
lesson sent to your email account. If your mobile phone has
an e-mail address, it is also possible to have the tips sent
to your phone to read on the way to work or school. Please note,
however, that such services are not usually graded very well
to the levels of different students, and they should be used
as a little added extra or revision in your English studies
rather than as a replacement for something you or your teacher
have chosen more carefully as what you need to learn.
4. Listen to MP3s.
Although buying music on the internet is becoming more
popular in many countries, not so many people know that you
can download speech radio such as audio books (an actor reading
out a novel) and speech radio. Not only is this better practice
for your English than listening to English music, from sources
’s ABC Radio it like Scientific American, BBC and Australia
is also free.
5. Listen to English music.
Even listening to music while doing something else can
help a little for things like getting used to the natural rhythm
speech, although the more time and and tone of English
attention you give to a song the more you will learn from
listening to it again in the future.
6. Read the lyrics to a song.
Although just listening to a song in English can be a
good way of really learning the words of the chorus in an easily
memorable way, if you want to really get something out of
listening to English music you will need to take some time to
read the lyrics of the song with a dictionary. If the lyrics
are not given in the CD booklet, you may be able to find them
on the internet,
deliberately put
but please note that
a few errors
some lyrics sites
into their lyrics for copyright
reasons. Once you have read and understood the lyrics, if you
then listen and read at the same time, this can be a good way
of understanding how sounds change in fast, natural,
speech.
informal
7. Sing karaoke in English.
The next stage after understanding and memorising a song
is obviously to sing it. Although some words have their
pronunciation changed completely to fit in with a song, most
of the words have the same sounds and stressed syllables as
in normal speech. Remembering which words rhyme at the end of
each line can also be a good way of starting to learn English
pronunciation.
8. Write a film, music, hotel or book review.
Another motivating and easy way to make yourself write
in English is to write a review for a site such as Amazon or
Internet Movie Database. Many non-native
like this, and if
speakers write
reviews on sites you have some special
understanding of the book, music or film due to your first
language or knowing the artist personally, that would be very
interesting
on the site.
