10 Tips to improve your English

1- Don’t translate into English from your own language. Think in English to improve your fluency.

2- Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Be confident. People can only correct your mistakes when they hear you make them.

3- Surround yourself in English. Put yourself in an all English speaking environment where you can learn passively. The best way to learn is through speaking.

4- Practise every day. Make yourself a study plan. Decide how much time a week you are going to spend studying and stick to it. Establish a routine.

5- Practise the 4 core skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening. They all need to be worked on for you to improve.

6- Give yourself a long term goal. Focus on working towards it.

7- Give yourself short term goals too and reward yourself when you achieve each one.

8- Watch DVDs rather than TV. It’s better to use something that you can watch over again to catch information you might have missed the first time.

9- Use your intuition. Go with your gut feeling, you’ll be surprised how often your first guess is the right guess. Like we said before, be confident.

10- Enjoy it! We learn more when we are having fun!
