Don'
t worry!
English can seem
difficult, but please don't be nervous, try to relax. If you relax,
it
can be fun learning
English.
Don't
worry about the mistakes!
You are learning
so it's normal to make mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes.
If you make a mistake
you can normally be understood. Your answers don't need
to be perfect. If
you could speak perfect English you wouldn't need to learn it.
Speak
It is very important
to try to speak. If you say nothing because you are shy or
afraid, no one will
know if you can speak English or what you think or want.
Always
try to say something! The worst answer to any question is silence.
You will
normally be understood. If
you are not understood say it again, maybe
try using different words.
Speak loudly
, you will sound more confident and your English will be clearer
if you speak loudly.
If you speak very quietly and nobody can hear you it will
be difficult to understand
you and people may think you can't speak.
Think
You need to
think about what you are doing all the time. If you are listening
think about what
you are listening for, while you are speaking, think about
what you
are talking about,
what you need to say. While you are reading think about what
information you are
reading for and while you are writing think about what you are
writing about. Think
about what you are trying to learn.
Ask
question
Don't be afraid to
ask questions. If you don't understand something ask!
Don't be shy about
asking. You are probably not the only person who doesn't
understand. We all
get confused sometimes and teacher and books don't
always explain things
well.
Practice
Practice, practice,
practice and practice!!! This is the most important part of
learning a language.
You don't need to be very clever to learn to speak English
but you need to practice.
You need to practice in the classroom (not fall asleep)
and you need to practice
out side of the class room too. Look at the work you
have studied already.
Maybe practice with your friends. You can also listen to
the radio (In Thailand
99.5 FM is a good example), listen to songs, read magazines
(the Bangkok
Post, Student weekly etc.) and books and watch movies and videos.
It's
up to you
If you want to learn
English you must try to learn it yourself. Your teacher and your
friends can't learn
it for you! They can only help you, it's up to you to learn!
*Be confident-You
can do it!
