When you are travelling, you don’t just want to communicate with the locals. You also want to be able to understand and communicate with them in English. We have rounded up some top tips for improving your English which will help you do so.
While learning English is essential for professionals, there are a few things you can do to make sure that you learn the right way. Here’s our list of top tips for improving English. See also, how to improve English.
1. Take Advantage of Everyday Experiences in Your Own Country
While it may seem like all you ever do is learn English, there are many small things – from road signs to menus or even saying “thank you” – that need your attention. If possible, stay inside the country for at least a few weeks before heading out on the journey and have others teach your basics to help yourself get started and progress faster.
2. Start Practising According to Your Purpose
Encourage Others to Speak English in Clubs Social Media, or Local Groups As many people end up doing when they first set off on their journey, it is essential that you actually do something with whatever language skills you do have. If your main goal for travelling abroad was learning new things about the country which attracts you rather than communicating efficiently with locals as well as tourist attractions then there are plenty of opportunities to use your English.
3. Do NOT concentrate on grammar/vocabularies
You know what happens during some social situations, don’t you? You start chatting to someone, they like you and as the conversation continues they keep asking you questions (surprise surprise!), but most of their input is sporadic. However, no matter how efficient it sounds on paper – learning grammar or vocabularies while simply trying to communicate will only leave your mind unfocused during dialogues, looking more like this: that’s right!
vocabulary and grammar do not seem to build trust between two people which is the most important part of communication. Instead, use your natural skills and fluency in English to help you communicate more effectively with locals during a busy event or make up new slang that suits both sides best when it comes down to communicating about something specific.
4. Do not consider reading “Rules for Pronunciation” or other materials about pronunciation
Reception & reframing as a step before signing up for SafeEnglish lessons. Reading will always feel like an unnecessary chore and to be done in isolation from the class.
5. Do not consider signing up for Free Trial Lesson.
A free trial lesson will always be disappointing, especially if you’re expecting something in return from us that is more than a website offer to sign-up without registering on the SafeEnglish platform. To gain a full understanding and enjoyment of English communicative capability we propose listening through our videos section first before submitting the registration form via email using your phone number as receiver’s name so all valuable information will be handy at your fingertips.
6. Do not consider signing up for Social Group Lesson
It’s a good option to get communication started with shared experience and ability to complete tasks within the community, but do not allow it impede you from totally free lessons or pre-planned ones – they’re what you should depend upon after all!
7. Do have another language?
That you would prefer to learn for fun than English so you can already communicate with our members and more importantly, do not consider self-introductions irrelevant.
Of those who are forced out of the language learning process from lack of interest in the free, we must admit that many new learners get weaker support on their path. To prevent this type of episode it is important to present yourself as a native English speaker with no doubts about your pronunciation but at least some confidence in your understanding (remembering all the lessons from hereon is your responsibility). Use this chance to introduce our platform and help other people, show everyone that English can be learned for free.
8. Do not think that you’ll obtain English in its entirety on the free lessons
There is no point rushing through thousands of words to be learning, instead use your spare time for comprehension and improve upon the assessments by simply correcting mistakes or offering explanations (there’s plenty with help) so nobody has a reason to request something from you – initially, it should involve mutual helping (with hours before us). We will instruct properly this way enabling all sorts of English speech in a few months.
9. Do get trained into the different language lessons already at week 2
We need new English speakers so now’s the chance to discuss with other members what you felt was interesting. You come across great ideas, especially when your instructor reminds you that there are various ways of learning a second or third language (vacation course, interactive experience like LIVE Lessons etc). Similarly, identify and seek excitement among things appealing to you while immersing yourself in Web conferencing because all these aspects will become important to you.
10. Make clear start to the actual work
It is not so easy, but it must be done. Begin with “Your First Lesson Speech” which will test your level, what you feel comfortable in and help all those people who admire a good English speaker (confident people).
All in all, English learning should be enjoyable and if you do not like it, you will never improve.
There are many opportunities to improve and the best is to find a group of people with whom you can communicate in English. In this case, everyone will benefit from each other. It is only in an international situation like we have now, that it makes sense to learn English. It has many uses and affects every nation as well (it’s on the top of “the most beautiful languages”) English is a great language and it seems to depend on what area of knowledge you need. If the situation makes you communicate in English, then one should be able help but listen to your everlasting lessons).
We are all here with our goals and skills that we possess; let’s put them in practice!
