Learn English Through Listening

English language is one of the most controversial topics in the world. Many people believe that if you learn the said language, you can get a lot of opportunities. Not only for getting a good jobs, investing something to the others, but also it can be a great opportunity to have a lot of friends around the world.



English is an international language as we know it. It is being used in order to understand each other no matter what is our nationality.



Many of us are tempting to use it. Many of us are wanting to become fluent in terms of speaking using the said language. Many of us are trying to use it even thought the grammar is not good as long as they could be understood. But many of use fail. Some tried to enroll in schools and universities just to learn it and studied it for more than five years but still, even constructing a single sentence is really tough to do. Some also tried to hire tutorials but the result is just the same.



What's up with this? What really is the problem of this? To tell you the truth, (although I am not a fluent speaker of the said language) the big reason is that, learners are USING TRADITIONAL METHOD OF LEARNING. What is traditional method? First, Learner-Teacher-Book method. Mentors are fun of teaching using of English books full of grammar constructions. Second, Chalk-Talk Method. In school this is the most common style of the teachers. Teachers use chalkboards as a medium of teaching and I don't think students can talk English out of this strategy effectively. Finally, giving learners a task and they are still not ready. For example: teacher let the students talk in front of the class...



Look around you. You will notice that some people around the world are still strugling about it. They are following same methods as I stated above.



Now, the question is what is the effective way in learning a language?How to learn English in Easiest way?



Learn like a child. Learn as if you learn nothing aside from it. Try to find a way to forget your native language, if you're not English Speaker for a while and focus on the new studied language. Try to LISTEN. Try to TALK. Try to show that you can do it.



The first thing you should do is to listen English musics, if you have your time, download MP3 dialogue and English Tutorials and follow how they say the words. Face the mirror and talk to yourself no matter what other will say. Your purpose is to learn. Another thing is to watch English movies and try to understand what they are saying and of course, imitate them. The third thing is if you encounter a new language, use you dictionary and use it over and over again. Much better if you make an appropriate action when uttering the word so that you cannot forget it. Fourth thing is, talk to native speakers. Understand them. Imitate them. And make sure that you will do it all over the time. And if you will do this, I guarantee you that you can learn English in easiest way... and not only that, the system is not boring....
