Effective English Learning

Hi there, I am Naushad Khan, an English Language Trainer, a Grooming Instructor and a Motivational Speaker. I have been training learners all the forms of English for a decade. Be it spoken, written, grammatical or literary English.

The knowledge of English has many benefits. It adds value to our skills, intelligence, work and life. As far as our introduction to English language is concerned, it starts from our nursery level. Therefore, we know a little of reading and writing but we don’t know how to speak and write proper English. To solve this problem, we join some spoken English class, buy some English books, watch many English videos on YouTube (most of the videos are on grammer only) or download some English learning apps. Still, our English remains incomplete and confusing. It’s not that we don’t learn anything by joining some English class, by reading some books, by watching some videos or by downloading some apps. We learn something from these activities which remains incomplete and confusing. Neither they clear our concepts, nor make us practice speaking.

During my decade long training, I found out these loopholes which forced me to do a research and development on English language training. As a creative person I don’t like to follow the traditional path but to create my own by inventing a new, easy and effective method of learning. The response was overwhelming. Thousands of students have been benefited from these methods.

English learning is not a short time project but a process which takes some time and constant practice. Let us discuss what this process is all about.

LISTENING

LIsten English everyday for a certain period of time. Let the English words, phrases and sentences hit your ear and mind. You can listen to the news, stories, podcasts or English film/series dialogues. You will not understand everything initially but keep on listening. After some weeks, you will realise that your understanding is improving. However, understanding is the first step of learning.

2.WRITING

Take a book or a newspaper and start copying it exactly. Write two to four pages daily by copying them. It has many benefits. It will improve your handwriting. It will correct your spelling mistakes. It will teach you the uses of punctuation. It will teach you the proper use of words, phrases and sentences. You will get the idea about starting or ending a paragraph.

3. READING

Here you don’t have to read calmly but loudly. You read English loud for 30/40/60 minutes daily. Our facial muscles, tongue, jaw and vocal cords have the habit of speaking Hindi and other regional languages. It doesn’t have the habit of speaking English. Loud reading is the solution to that problem. Loud reading will make the muscles and other facial organs habituated with English words, phrases and sentences. In course of time, this habit will help you to produce the words and sentences. It will build up your fluency. It will bring clarity to your speech. This practice will open up your voice.

4. PRACTICING

You can’t learn swimming by thinking. You have to get into the water to learn swimming. Likewise, you can’t learn spoken English if you don’t practice speaking. Request your family members, friends, classmates, colleagues and other people to talk with you in English. Do it religiously with them. Start with small sentences, responses and later grow it into long discussions. Do it for some months and you will be fluent in speaking English.
