Tips for fun learning speaking English

         

           We can not deny that English has become the most popular language in the world, nowadays almost everything is written in English language, so if you are able in speaking English it will give you some advantages. And if you are now in the middle of learning this language I have some tips to be shared.

1.   Enrich your vocabulary

Before We able to speak any language, of course we need to collect vocabulary of language that we learn. Remember when we were kids?? Before starting to speak a sentence, we learn and memorize vocabulary first. Same case with English language, if want to be able speaking English, you need to enrich your vocabulary.

2.  Rent or buy an English movie (or get the soft copy with English subtitle)

          This is the right choice if you have same hobby like me. First tip from me is watching movie with English subtitle on. By seeing the subtitle and hearing the way it pronounce, you will be able to compare the written form and how it’s pronounced. It will be good if you also imitate the way some words pronounce, remember practice make you perfect. By learning in this way you need to keep your dictionary handy to find out the meaning of some new or difficult word which are exist on that movie.

3.   Chat with fluent English speakers

          Of course we need to do this, because learning from better person make us better as well. If you want to be able speak English fluently, I suggest you to chat with fluent English speakers (it could be your mate friend, or native speaker). Let’s make friends with interesting English speakers.

4.  Join some English group (real, or online)

          There are many Groups of English, if you are in the school grade, then there are some groups which usually exists such English club, SAC, Debating team so join them and practice with them. And there are many group of English in internet, you just need to pick the right one.

          5.   Read about any subject that interests you

          This will be problem if you are hate reading, but remember that reading is one of big input that we need while we are learning. Try to find subject that you interest to read. No matter what subject it is, there are many English magazines, or you can find some articles which written in English. Some novels and short stories also available in English language read them cover to cover and collect some new vocabulary.

          6.  Listen to the Radio, English song and TV

          Radio has some good programs that are designed to share about English to the listener. Besides the radio, you could also listen to the "News in English". It’s available on a wide variety of channels. The news is a good place to get input of the English language because it is spoken in a very clear, easy to understand way.

          Or you can hear to English song by it subtitles, this way pretty much the same with watching English movie. Make sure to find the new word and phrase then look for the meaning in dictionary.

Note: some English song contain word that inappropriate to utter, be smart to         chose

          7.   Most effective tip: "Think in English"

          One of the most common mistakes that made by English learners is, they think in their mother tongue. When they want to say something in English, they think in their mother tongue, translate it to English and then say it in English. And you know how the result gonna be. You better don’t do this! If you wanna speak in English fluently you will have to learn to "think" in English. When you are constructing sentences in your mind before saying them, think in English and form them in English in your mind.

Don’t forget to practice your English every single chance, no matter what…

Good luck guys!
