How To Improve English Language

Rhonda Said:

how to improve english spoken language?

We Answered:

Actually, broadening/improving one's language skills is a very broad concept, it should be done in more than one ways at the same time which is highly recommended. One can NOT become better ONLY in one area e.g. chatting or speaking, one MUST improve skills in ALL dimensions of the language!

Learning language well requires being as active as possible and making the learning as FUN for oneself as possible. Taking lessons is always important, but equally important are these:

1) Listen/watch: Keep listening to internet radio stations like BBC, watch TV shows in English (use only subtitles, NOT voice dubbing in case you are not a native English speaker!), etc.

2) Write/communicate: Try to find discussion forums from the web about things that you find interesting (music/various artists, hobbies, etc.) and start communicating there with other people using only English. Start using instant messaging systems in case you find some new friends or start emailing them.

3) Buy yourself a proper dictionary, and each time when you see a strange word that you do not understand, look it up. Putting words into their context is one of the best ways to broaden one's vocabulary and grammar knowledge, the more you read and write the better. Memorising is NOT the best way to go with learning grammar or any other language areas!

The main point in ANY language learning is to make it as fun as possible for yourself. Try to find topics that INTEREST you, read online newspapers (Times, Guardian, Independent...), listen to BBC/NBC and other radio stations online, if you find a discussion forum for e.g. your favourite hobby or your idols in music do participate there, etc. The key word here is CONTEXT, which means that it is easier to learn new words and their usage as well as grammar when you use/see them in their real CONTEXT.

I'm sorry there is no easy way out with this, one really must develop language skills in ALL these language "levels" or dimensions in order to reach better language skills!!

Last but not least: NEVER EVER use ANY online translators, they are nothing but utter rubbish!! English is practically EVERYWHERE in the online world these days, you just have to use your imagination to find it! Learning pace is always personal, it takes the time it takes so there is no reason to hurry it up too much. If you do, you will not learn so well.

Good luck!

how to improve english language vocabulary ?

We Answered:

I would suggest four tips
(1) Forget American english (2) incrase stock of words(3) whenever you find a new word not known to you, immediately consult the dictionary for its neaning and usage, apply the word in written and spoken opportunity. (4) foremost necessity is to increase your stock of words and their application and making a habit i,e attitude to improve yourself in the matter. Yes. there are software, but I don't think this will do much as most of the software contains American english, better you may consult British Institute,they may suggest you appropriately.

How can mastering the English language improve my way of life?

We Answered:

Many linguists and language researchers compare English to the Latin of old. It has become the favored Laguna Franca due to several reasons - the most influential being British colonialism and American expansionism.

As mentioned by others who answered this question, English is widely used in international business and commerce, tourism; but also in education, research and literature. Additionally, English is not going anywhere soon, even though it may become a less popular language with the rise of Chinese global influence.

There are about 600,000,000 native English speakers in the world and another 1.5-2 billion people who speak English as a second or foreign language. This number is only set to rise due to the popularity of learning English in other countries, especially in Asia and Latin America. The popularity is growing in Western and Eastern Europe as well. For example, there are currently more than 100,000,000 people currently learning English in China alone. It is estimated that the number of people who speak English will rise to 3 billion within the next 20 years.

Furthermore, 80% of information published on the internet is in English, 60% of reference materials for science and medicine, and 55% of films shown on television throughout the world are originally filmed in English.

So, to answer your questions - mastering English can only help to open more doors for business, travel and education.

(Sorry for all the statistics, I tend to get carried away)
