4 habits, which help you learn languages more efficiently

Foreign languages allow us to acquaint ourselves with different cultures, countries and people across the world. English is the most universal language of today, it is considered a matter of course among young people and thanks to English we do not have to learn hundreds of languages.

What is the best way of learning English? Read the following tips:

 

Be in contact with the language constantly

English is the language of the future and you can find it everywhere. An easy tip on learning it is this: forget dubbing, start watching movies and series in the original language. Do not forget to switch Slovak subtitles for English ones. After several episodes, you can switch them off entirely and focus on what the characters are saying. Believe it or not, by being a couch potato with your favourite sitcom, you will expand your vocabulary and improve your ability to form sentences.
 

Think in English

Does it sound strange? Perhaps, but it does help. Try to put your native language to the side and think in English for one hour a day. It does not matter whether you are thinking of your weekly plan, the date you had last night or a great film you saw at the cinema. If you come across a concept you cannot express, try to describe it. Do not hinder your mind in any way.
 

Leave your comfort zone

If you really want to learn English, you must use it actively. Forget your fear and start speaking. Are you making many mistakes and getting stressed out by this? So what? We can guarantee that you are not alone. Speak English to your friend, informally. Spark up a conversation with a foreign tourist. You will soon discover that few people around you have spotless English. You can also break the ice by joining a language course, where a qualified teacher can help guide you towards quick and efficient learning.
 

Learning English can be fun

Do you have a favourite magazine, author or a book you’ve been intending to read for a while now? Choose according to what interests you the most. It is much easier to focus on things you enjoy rather than those which bore you.
