Basics of English Speaking-4

Sep 24, 2016

Hello Everyone!

This is the title of how to improve your speaking ability. At my previous episodes, I gave you some hints to change your point of view for English. Actually, English is so fun when you get to know how to fix your lacks. Today, I am going to talk about another point for basics of English Speaking activities. 

4. Submerge yourself

Being able to speak a language is not related to how smart or how old you are. Anyone can learn how to speak any language at any time. This is a proven fact by everyone in the world. I can even say from my experience that this happens! Everyone can speak also at least one language. Whether you are intelligent, or lacking some brain power, you are able to speak one language.

This was achieved by being around that language at all times. In your country, you hear and speak your language constantly. You will notice that many people who are good English speakers are the ones who studied in an English speaking school. They can speak English not because they went to an English speaking school, but because they had an environment where they can be around English speaking people constantly.

There are also some people who study abroad and learn very little. That is because they went to an English speaking school, but found friends from their own country and didn't practice English.

You don't have to go anywhere to become a fluent English speaker. You only need to surround yourself with English. You can do this by making rules with your existing friends that you will only speak English. You can also carry around an MP3 player and constantly listen to English sentences. As you can see, you can achieve results by changing what your surroundings are. Submerge yourself in English and you will learn several times faster.

You may watch movies with subtitles in Japanese or your mother tongue in an English movie or you can listen to a slow music by following the song words.

 

If you have any questions for that, please feel free to ask me more advice. And I will show you that you can do more than you expected!

I am also inviting you to my English lesson. During our lesson, I will be answering your questions in details.

Best luck in your study!
