English Tips #28

Audio Books

Buy or rent an audio book, one that you already have the book of and are familiar with.

Make sure the audio book contains the full text and isn’t condensed or abridged.

If you haven’t already read the book, try to read it first to familiarize yourself with the story, then listen to the text whilst reading the book again.

You can even buy audio books especially recorded for English learners at different levels of ability that have the text included.

English Tips #27

Train your ears

You ears will recognise words that are similar in sound to your own language, but may well ignore sounds they’re unfamiliar with. You need to train them, just like you do when you’re practising pronunciation. Find mp3 files and videos on the internet that you find challenging, listen to them again and again, until it’s easy and relaxing. Concentrate on distinguishing individual words, don’t worry too much about understanding what they mean.

Incorporate English into your daily life.

See if you can name everything you come into contact with, from getting up in the morning, until you go to bed at night.

English Tips #25

Learning New Vocabulary 6

When you come across a new word avoid translating it into your native language.

It is tempting to do so, but it is easy to mistranslate words and it will slow down your progress eventually, or even worse might lead into embarrassing situations.

English Tips #24

Learning New Vocabulary 5

Keep a notebook and pencil on you at all times. Whenever you see or hear a new word, write it down. Write down where you saw or heard it too, it will help you remember it later. Look the word up on the internet or in a dictionary when you get home.

English Tips #23

Learning New Vocabulary 4

Linking a new word to a picture is a good way of remembering it. Try searching Google Images for the word.

For example: Search for the word “tarpauline” in Google Images and you’ll find lots of pictures of tarpaulines.

You can even print out the best one you find. Stick it on a flash card – picture one side – word the other. That way you can test yourself later.
