5 Tips of being good at English language

5 Tips of being good at The English language

Here, I will share you guys and girls (and other genders perhaps ಠ_ಠ) from what I experienced, and how I acquire English. I have 5 tips that you may follow. My tips may be quite, or a bit, or even absolutely crazy. But that, frankly, has helped me to acquire English. What? Aah, the tips? Okay, okay, here they are:



1. Read some English caption

Reading is the perfect way to build English sub-skills, particularly in Vocabulary and Grammar. But wait, why English caption? Not books? No, because the book is not the only thing you can read. But beware, most written things that can be read are not always good in grammar (in my case, Game). Books, by this far, is the written things which its grammar is almost never wrong, because some written things, like an article, may have flaws in grammar. Therefore, I suppose to read a book is the perfect way to build both your vocabulary and grammar. By the way, I may call you “A Careful Person” if you notice there is a grammar mistake on this paragraph since this is an article. =D

2. Listen to English Audio (Song, Movie, Game conversation, anything)

Most people remember easily when it comes to song. Not just English stuffs, as a Muslim, I can remember Verses, or not impossible, the whole Verses of Qur’an if they are recited beautifully and I can sing it along. AND once we memorize a surah, a long one with a lot of verses, we will sooner or later forget it if we do not keep and apply it during Sholat. If Verses can be remembered, anything in English or any language would be easy to memorize. There are a lot of English Songs out there. Even in Indonesia, there are many bands which have songs in English. When we find an unfamiliar word, for example the word “Endless” in Just Take My Heart by Mr.Big, we can remember the song every time we see the word in case we forget that word. Audio, anyway, is also the perfect way to build English sub-skills: Vocabulary and Pronunciation.

3. Try to speak up yourself

This is it, ladies and gentlemen; this IS when you will apply your English. This is when you finally express what you have known, what you have read, and what you have listened. You can demonstrate it by talking to yourself in the mirror. Just consider you are talking to talk to yourself, share everything, about Family, Love, Friend, Religion and anything you can share. You can also demonstrate it by singing, especially for they who like it so much. By singing, you can actually know how good is your English, and is a good way to memorize more Vocabularies. Not enough? No challenge? Grab your hand phone, and then pretend talking to your friend or someone in English by phone, wherever you are. Doing this in the public may build your charisma (What? Oh, it may actually.) and your confidence. You may also decrease your nervous when you are going to talk in public. But you may be considered:

a. Crazy, of course if someone realized you even have no pulsa. Lol

b. Arrogant, people you know or you don’t know may consider you like this.

If you desperate to try this disregarding of what you may be considered for the greater good, then try it. (ง'̀⌣'́)ง I have tried talking to the mirror, singing and pretending to talk to the phone. By the way, wondering in English could be said as speaking. lol

4. Find a partner to communicate to

Bored of self-talking? Or do not want to do it? Then test yourself by talking to other persons who can also speak English. This is an effective way to acquire English quickly. Wait, is it just English? (´・ω・`) No, not really, but all language. THIS is the second way for us to apply English, no, to apply any language in reality after we have read and we have listened. But in our case, it’s English. My brother is my daily partner in speaking English. I also have some partners in my class. Just remember, "Knowing is not enough, we must apply", said Leonardo Da Vinci, an Italian Artist (1452-1519)

5. Try to communicate with a Lecturer or a Native Speaker

Do you agree if I say this is the best among 4 of my tips? Aah, I don’t know I have to name it tips or steps, because the fifth is more like the final among 4 others. d(◕_◕)b Anyway, Communicating in English with Lecturer, who have learned English more than we do, is a really good way to sharpen your English. Most English lecturers have ever talked to Native Speakers. How about Native Speaker itself? This is a REAL test, and the best application for us. Communicating to a Native Speaker is the best way to whether acquire or improve your English. Try to chat with Native Speaker no matter what. This is a Kingdom named Internet, where people in all over the world gather on, having no idea who their kings are, are still bound by law (like Copyright, banning and others), and many more. We have Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Google+, YouTube, and many other facilities for us in order to be able to chat. As for myself, I mostly and often used YouTube to chat and to message with native speaker.



Just like in the fifth tips, I, again, don’t know whether to name it tips or steps. Disregarding of that, you can actually use this tips to learn and to acquire other languages like Japanese, Italian, and Korean. For this case, remember, just keep trying and...
