Below you will find a list of various hints and tips for learning
English.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<!--[endif]-->Expose
yourself to as much English Media content as possible. Every little encounter
leaves an impression of the language. Luckily, English media contents are
almost limitless: podcasts, news sites, radio channels, music, films etc. 



<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <!--[endif]-->Take away the subtitling, unless you can choose English, on your screen,
or force yourself to ignore it. Do this preferably with a film you are familiar
with.



<!--[if !supportLists]-->3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <!--[endif]-->&nbsp;Download lyrics to your favourite
songs and read them while listening to the song. That way – next time you sing
in the shower – you will practice real English. Listening to music in the
target language helps you develop a flair for the rhythm, melody (intonation)
and sound of it. Sing along. 



<!--[if !supportLists]-->4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <!--[endif]-->Buy or borrow audio books. You may also search for 'audio books' in
general. Many of these web sites offer instant downloads in various digital formats.






<!--[if !supportLists]-->5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <!--[endif]-->Software: Read software instructions in English, and download English
versions of games and tools.&nbsp; 



<!--[if !supportLists]-->6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<!--[endif]-->Software
gaming: Play online games that require text input – like adventure games. But
do keep in mind that the vocabulary you learn from this is often very limited. 



<!--[if !supportLists]-->7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<!--[endif]-->Spend some
time searching for learning tools on the Internet. Search for words like:
interactive exercise, grammar tasks, vocabulary quiz, pronunciation lab. 



<!--[if !supportLists]-->8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <!--[endif]-->Make lists of words suitable for various topics – preferably the one you
are studying at school right now. Hang the list above your bed or on the
refrigerator door. Repetition and learning by heart is a must in the process of
learning a language.



<!--[if !supportLists]-->9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <!--[endif]-->&nbsp;Use recording features on your
mp3 player or cell phone and listen to yourself speaking/reading. 



<!--[if !supportLists]-->10.&nbsp; <!--[endif]-->&nbsp;Find the opportunities in
everyday activities like walking to the bus, brushing your teeth and so forth,
to think in English about what you do.





<!--[if !supportLists]-->11.&nbsp; <!--[endif]-->Whenever you learn a word, try to come up with a word of the opposite
meaning. Then make up a story – the crazier the better – where these words
occur. Opposite words are called antonyms. &nbsp;When you want to learn a set of words,
dramatize them in a story or connect them to an existing experience. Use the
opportunities everyday life offers. 

<!--[if !supportLists]-->12.&nbsp; <!--[endif]-->Repeat and memorize whole sample phrases and sentences which embody
grammatical rules: “You are the sun, I am the moon.” (I am, You are, He/She/It
is, We are, You are, They are) 



<!--[if !supportLists]-->13.&nbsp;
<!--[endif]-->Read about
news that is familiar to you in English. This will help you understand new
words based on the contents. You may do the same thing with instructions in
English for things you are already familiar with, like the operating of your
cell phone.&nbsp;



<!--[if !supportLists]-->14.&nbsp; <!--[endif]-->&nbsp;Read novels, cartoons or
magazines. Some of these are available online. Reading is a pleasurable
activity, but make sure you find something that you are interested in.
