πŸ’₯ 10 TIPS FOR LEARNING ENGLISH IN YOUR NATIVE COUNTRY

You do not need to live in an English-speaking country to speak English fluently. That's how I learned English without leaving Russia even once.

1. Surround yourself with english
That's an absolute must!. Find ways to make English a part of your daily life at home, for example, make a shopping list, read a newspaper, listen to the radio, write a diary in English, or listen to songs on or watch a video on the way somewhere. Switch all of your information sources to English!

2. Make friends with native speakers
Even if you do not live in an English-speaking country, there may be many foreigners nearby. Find ways to meet native English speakers: go to foreign bars and restaurants, conversational clubs, join sports and social clubs, or participate in language exchange programs. I personally just approached English-speaking people on the streets.

3. Find training partners
If you can't find a native speaker, start learning English at the same time with your friends to practice together. You can create an English speaking club and meet regularly to speak English. You can motivate each other, and you will learn by helping others with their problems. I asked my friends to conduct mock IELTS Speaking tests for me.

4. Use authentic materials
Just reading English in textbooks can get boring. Try reading English texts written for native speakers. At first it will seem difficult, but over time you will get used to it and be able to do it with ease. There are hundreds of resources on the Internet.

5. Online communication
I bet you know you chat with people from all over the world on the Internet. Join chats or forums, take online English courses, or find a pen-friend to practice English by learning different cultures. I have a special app where you can meet people for practice in seconds.

6. Set yourself realistic goals
Give yourself a reason to study: do you want to get a promotion, have the opportunity to talk with your foreign colleagues, study abroad or spend your next holiday in an English-speaking country? Set both short-term and long-term goals and track your progress.

7. Listen to real English
Train your ears, listening to English at a normal speed, even if you do not understand everything. It is easy to find free English podcasts on the Internet, and news agencies from most English-speaking countries publish audio and video news on the Internet for free.

8. Find fun ways to learn new words
If you like to sing, find the words of your favorite English songs. Or, if you have good visual memory, write new words in β€œPost-it” notes and attach them across the house. Make funny examples of sentences or draw small pictures next to new expressions to memorize them.

9. Learn about culture
Learning a language is not only grammar and vocabulary: it is communication with people who think and speak differently!

10. Whatever you do, have fun
Learning a language requires work, but you will be more motivated if you like the process itself. Play games, do crossword puzzles, sing songs, read comics and don't worry too much about mistakes - mistakes only help to get better!

Community power is incredible.

I remember that I was too much of an introvert in middle school. I would avoid talking to people and didn't feel comfortable when I had to join a group of other students. However, now I am a member of 5 different communities and even a founder of my own one.

What's so cool about communities?

They make us surrounded with like-minded people. Those who share our views, values and interests. I founded the World Speaks English Community to help IELTS candidates who felt alone on their preparation journey. Now they have a safe space to discuss tasks, modules, books and share experiences. Not to mention friends from across the globe! 😍

Also, communities help solve problems. At WSE you can ask any question about IELTS or life abroad and other members (or me) will answer right away.

Communities = friends, support, achievements ❀️

What communities are you part of and wuat benefits have you got from them?
Well, in reality, I don't believe in hacks! Progress is always the result of hard work, dedication and clear strategy. In this post, I'll give you the strategy and will trust you on bringing the work and dedication to the table?

Okay?

So, your IELTS reading success is basically a compilation of 3 components:
βœ… Wide vocabulary and grammar range
βœ… Clear approach to every question type
βœ… Speed reading

Check cards to read the strategy for every component! Check out the Rocket IELTS course here.

Also, let me know in the comments if you haven't had progress with Reading lately. Let's find a way out of it πŸ™ŒπŸ»

😳 EMBARRASSING PRONUNCIATION MISTAKES

Do you know how important clear pronunciation is? What if I tell you that pronunciation is not the same as an accent?

Even though having an accent is absolutely fine, having poor pronunciation can be damaging to your relationships πŸ™ˆ
