English for dummies from scratch. How to start?

The initial stage in learning English is the most difficult, but you have the most important thing - strength and desire

Where to start learning English?

Learning English from scratch simply won’t work, because you already have a certain amount of knowledge in your head. And this is thanks to the many borrowed words ( information, conflict, comfort), brand names ( Tide- clean, Safe guard- protection, Dove- dove), speaking the names of famous people ( Tina Turner(turner), Nicholas Cage(cell), names of musical groups ( No Doubt(without a doubt), Destiny's Child(child of destiny) spice girls(Pepper girls). Not to mention the common phrases thank you, hello, yes, ok, wow, which we have been using in Russian colloquial speech for a long time.

Without suspecting it, you already know English words and expressions. And this is the first thing that should inspire you! It remains only to direct the existing knowledge in the right direction.

How to choose a school and an English teacher?

The best option at the initial stage of learning a language is to find a teacher. According to a well-known saying, a student is not a vessel to be filled, but a torch to be lit. This torch can be lit for you by a teacher, with his twinkle in his eyes and a great desire and ability to teach. Most importantly, it must be a professional in his field .

“Here is a non-professional, if instead of building lively conversational situations, he makes you perform tasks at the level of meaning, i.e. just "drives" you through the textbook. Instead of constantly complimenting you, encouraging communication, he makes comments, rejoices at your every mistake if he comes to class without original materials (newspapers, magazines, books, radio programs, etc.), limited to teaching aids.” Ilya Frank

Russian teacher or native speaker?

And one more wish - for a start it should be a Russian-speaking teacher. Only he will be able to understand why you made this or that mistake, in simple words he will explain complex grammatical phenomena, the difference between words, comparing with the Russian language.

However one teacher is not enough to master the language. In your free time, do additional tasks, repeat the past. Whoever has the desire and interest will definitely do it.

And it is also possible that you have motivation, but for some reason you decided to study English on your own. Be prepared for the fact that this will take much more time and effort, as you will need to not only complete tasks, but also select and check them yourself! Here you can find channels for learning English on YouTube to help you.

Group English classes at an offline school are a great way to learn a language and meet new people

To clearly represent what you need to learn, you need to know its structure. Imagine that words (vocabulary) are musicians, each of them can play separately, their instruments make sounds (phonetics), and in order to organize them into a single orchestra, to coordinate them, they need a conductor (grammar).

If the musician does not appear (you don’t know the word), or if he comes, but takes false notes (pronounce it incorrectly), or the conductor gives the wrong command (break the grammar rule) - you won’t get a perfect symphony!

Important!

Vocabulary, grammar, phonetics are the three pillars on which the language rests. Only by studying them in a complex, you can master and understand the language, sound beautiful and correct.

Learn English words

Suppose a lost tourist does not know grammar, but he knows individual words - I, search, station, or only one word station. Even if he pronounces it with an accent and not quite correctly and turns to passers-by with this word, then, apparently, they will understand him. But if he does not know how the station is in English, they are unlikely to help him. Words are your base, constantly replenish your vocabulary.

The vocabulary of most native English speakers is 12000-20000 words, and in order to explain yourself in English, it is enough to learn 1500-2000 words. And this is not so much, especially if you set yourself the goal of learning 5 words daily.

There are a lot of ways to remember words, long lists of words in textbooks give way to colorful visual dictionaries, video materials on the Internet, where words on a specific topic are presented with their image and pronunciation. Or it can be paper cards that you can buy or make yourself.

Cards with a picture and a translation on the back will help you quickly learn English words.

Let English words surround you! The method of hanging notes with words around the house has proven itself well. Hang a note on the door, window, table with a word denoting this object, and believe me, very soon you will call these objects in English.

From the very beginning, create your own dictionary in which you will enter all new words and expressions. And in order to make the results more noticeable and have something to praise yourself for - number the recorded words, highlight them with different colors depending on how easy or difficult they are given to you. Be creative, turn your vocabulary into a unique creative masterpiece! See the video below for some vocabulary design ideas.

And most importantly: do not learn everything, but only the most necessary. Choose priority topics for yourself, for example, family, food, shopping, travel. Do not try to embrace the immensity. Language is taught all life!

Having found the right word in the dictionary, do not be too lazy to look through the entire dictionary entry. There are situations when it is better to learn not a single word, but a whole expression, especially if it sounds different in Russian, for example, to get acquainted with, to be afraid of, to catch a cold. Having memorized such phrases in a whole expression, you will remember them ready-made, like one long word.

Do not forget to repeat the written words from time to time, and then they will be remembered quickly and involuntarily. You can also install mobile applications for learning English words, which are now quite a lot on the Internet.

Learn English grammar

Grammar cannot be ignored. As much as advocates of alternative and communicative techniques fight against the “cramming” of grammar rules and boring exercises, grammar rules need to be taught and trained. At the initial stage of study, it will be easier for you to learn a ready-made rule and exceptions than to identify patterns on your own.

However, learning grammar should not be an end in itself. To consolidate the studied grammatical material, combine it with vocabulary. For example, having learned, make up a story about your family or working day, having learned the degrees of comparison of adjectives - describe the weather forecast yesterday and today, having studied the adverbs of quantity - write a recipe for your favorite dish.

Practice makes perfect

Consolidate the acquired knowledge in practice in all forms: reading, listening, writing, speaking. If you miss even one link from this chain, you run the risk of not overcoming the language barrier.

It should be simple articles and news. Or adapted literature, where at first unnecessary intricate constructions are excluded, there are explanations and exercises for reading comprehension. It is convenient to read books in electronic form with an electronic dictionary, because it is enough to point to an unfamiliar word and the dictionary will provide you with a translation, which is much easier compared to a paper dictionary.

Learn English by listening

It can be news, podcasts for beginners, stories. From time to time, use the passive listening method, let the English speech sound in the background. Believe me, the information will be remembered at a subconscious level.

Try to repeat what you hear from native speakers, imitating intonation and pronunciation. You can see an example of intuitive word memorization by watching the video.

Listen also to English songs, catch individual words, develop a language guess. It is especially helpful to start with simple songs where lines or constructions are repeated. For example, thanks to the song "All at once" (author Lenka), you will learn how to compare:

It is quite possible to repeat these lines even for a beginner, and by singing them, you will train your pronunciation and will be able to transform your speech.

What to watch to start?

Find your way to learn English comfortably

A good start won't make you a fluent speaker yet. The tongue, like a plant, requires care, water it every day: read, listen, write, speak! Only then will it bear fruit.

Find your own path to the goal. Nobody knows you better than yourself. Try to think in English, describe everything that surrounds you. Let at first it will be separate words, then phrases, and soon sentences.

The French linguist Claude Ajezh once said: “Of all the languages on the planet, English is the most flexible and most responsive to changing reality” And it's true! Every year, the English language is replenished with 4,000 new words!

Try teaching English to someone who knows it worse. Yes, you will not learn anything new, but by explaining to another, you will better understand and consolidate your knowledge. You can study together with someone (relative, friend, colleague), compose short dialogues. Well, if it is a person who is just as eager to learn English as you are. Perhaps together it will be easier for you to understand.

The main thing is to practice regularly and as often as possible (ideally every day). Your results depend on how systematically you do this. It's like an athlete who needs to keep fit. This is the only way you will get used to the language. That's right, you need to get used to the language.

Finally:

The initial stage in learning English is the most difficult, it is at this stage that the foundation is laid. You have to overcome the language barrier and believe in yourself or lose the desire to learn the language forever. Remember the simple rules for successfully learning English:

Find not just a teacher, but a professional in your field, if there is no opportunity and desire, be your own teacher.
Study regularly, do not take on new things without repeating what you have learned.
Train all types of speech activities: listening, speaking, reading, writing. Let English into your life and it will love you back.
Love what you do so that learning a language becomes a part of your life, brings pleasure. With the right methods and materials, it will be easy! Good luck!

In contact with

Learning English has become more popular than ever. At the same time, this task is not an easy one. Many spend whole years doing what other students take at most a few months. Why, then, for one, the task of mastering English turns out to be feasible and quite achievable, while for another, this process is associated with some difficulties? And what is the most effective method of learning this really necessary language in our time?

Define goals

One of the best ways to learn English is to decide on the goals for which its knowledge will be required in life. After all, not knowing the final destination of their studies, the student is moving almost nowhere. Many schoolchildren learn English along with other subjects. However, for them, boring lessons in textbooks do not add motivation at all. It cannot be said that the exercises from the school course are an unequivocal "evil". Despite the fact that a large number of different methods of learning English are being promoted at the moment, the grammar-translation method used in schools cannot be called ineffective. After all, the best translators of the Soviet era were trained with its use.

Examples of the correct setting of tasks

However, with regard to motivation, in this respect it can be said unequivocally: a school curriculum alone is not the best way to learn English. After all, the student does not understand in what circumstances all these grammatical difficulties will be useful to him. If he has a goal, then the exercise turns from a boring routine into a tool to achieve it. A few more examples that will allow you to approach the study of English more specifically:

If a person is an employee of a company in which a foreign language is used for written communication with partners, the best way to learn English is to systematically work on creating an essay. Writing skills training will be the tool with which you can get a promotion, and therefore get a bigger salary. With such motivation, learning a language will be much easier.
If English is planned to be used while traveling, the best way would be to master special courses, training the basic skills of reading street signs. It is also good to take a conversational course, to overcome the language barrier.
In the event that a foreign language is required for meetings or conferences at work, the best way to learn English is to work on understanding spoken language, as well as practicing conversational skills.

Create an environment

To do this, you do not need to pack your things and leave for London. Everyone can "surround" themselves with a foreign language - for this you only need a desire. It is believed that creating a language environment is one of the best ways to learn English. Let's look at a few options for how this can be done.

When you need to find some information on the Web, do it not in your native language, but in English. Of course, out of habit, each user fills in queries in their native language into the search engine. Switching to English can seem tedious, but this practice will help you quickly improve your reading skills. To make the task easier, you can install a special online translator on your PC.

Watch news and movies in English. At first, students may not understand even half of what is being said on the screen. However, the human brain has the ability to learn to recognize unfamiliar speech over time. To do this, he needs to be given the opportunity. Even if you watch videos in English for 10 minutes a day, in a year it will only be possible to be surprised at how much the skills of understanding foreign speech have improved.

Regular classes

No matter how many newfangled methods have been invented by which you can learn a foreign language, the best way to learn English is through regular classes. Perhaps this is the most difficult part in the process of learning a foreign language. After all, when a person goes to work, he knows that he must reckon with the established daily routine. Otherwise, claims from management will follow. He can be deprived of bonuses, and sometimes even salaries and positions. If you skip, systematically violate discipline, do not fulfill your duties, you can seriously get in trouble.

And when a person sets himself the goal of learning a foreign language, then there is no “Cerberus” here that would stand over his soul and force him to study. It's always easy to feel sorry for yourself. And therefore, on the difficult path of enlightenment, the student is guarded by a seductive thought at first glance: “Today I am too tired to study. I'd rather surf the social network or watch TV. Tomorrow I'll do twice as much." The result of such self-pity is known: the process of learning a foreign language is delayed. During breaks, what was mastered before is forgotten. You have to re-engage in the work, repeat the material covered and only after that proceed to the new one.

Is it possible to master a foreign language in a short time?

For that matter, there are no quick ways to learn English. The speed of mastering a language always depends on the student himself, on the amount of time and effort that he is willing to invest in this matter. Therefore, do not believe false advertising that promises to master English in two weeks or so. In the study of foreign languages, there is the concept of "magic thousand". It is believed that it takes 1,000 hours to successfully master a new language. Everyone can calculate how many years it will take him to learn English, given the number of hours spent on classes per week.

Ways to make classes regular

What can be done to make the study of English systematic, and therefore effective?

Learning a foreign language on our own

For many students, it is quite possible to start learning a foreign language. After all, the logic of the English language is quite accessible to the domestic layman. It is not recommended to start learning complex languages such as Arabic or Chinese on your own. But as for English, here for adults, most likely, there will be no particular difficulties. The best way to learn English on your own is to find a good manual. In this case, it will be especially important to have additional materials - audio and video recordings. This will initially train the perception of foreign speech.

The need for exercise

The training manual should also include a sufficient number of exercises. If there are few of them, it is unlikely that it will be possible to fully master the material. After all, one of the main ways to learn English is to do exercises. In the process of mastering a language, grammar can be metaphorically compared to a fishing line on which beads are strung - other knowledge. Without understanding the basic rules of the language, progress will be difficult. And after performing a large number of exercises on the topic, the material will become part of active knowledge. Also in the manual should be the keys to the exercises. This will allow you to track the use of erroneous designs in time.

I often come across people who would like to learn a language on their own and for free. But, for whatever reasons, the bulk simply scores on their own development. English should be studied with interest. And to captivate you into learning, I prepared a little surprise at the end of the article!

Education is very important in today's world!

There are a huge number of tips, lessons, courses, methods of learning foreign languages on the Internet, and each is unique in its own way. The easiest and most accessible language, it seems to me, is English. It follows that there will be much more information on it. Some people prefer to study textbooks at home, others attend language courses. And the third ones were lucky to study abroad 🙂

After reviewing the various methods, I came to the conclusion, why not use only a smartphone or tablet in this matter? After all, these are convenient and affordable ways for everyone. You can do it anywhere: at home, on the way to study or work, at a party, standing in line at the store. And most importantly, it's completely free.

Method number 1

Let's start with the more traditional method. There is a unique Duolingo app. It was presented back in 2014 at the annual Google I / O exhibition. It was then that the application gained its popularity on Google Play. Now Duolingo is the leader in its class.

Thanks to a rather simple, and at the same time, effective method of selecting workouts, the application automatically determines the user's level of knowledge of a foreign language. There is no theory in the application, only practice. When I first started getting acquainted with Duolingo, it was a bit difficult for me. If you come across an unfamiliar word, you can see its meaning right in the exercise. And if you made a mistake, then there is an opportunity to refer to user comments. Usually, more experienced ones will be happy to help beginners.

A daily reminder of training will be a pleasant stimulation. There are 4 stages of training: easy, normal, serious and crazy. The higher the load, the more effective the training will be. In easy mode, it is enough to complete two tasks a day, while in insane mode, you need to complete as many as 10 exercises at least! If your friends use Duolingo, add them to your profile. This will give you the opportunity to compete with them.

Price: Free

In addition to English, there is an opportunity to learn German. I hope that the list of lessons will be replenished.

From personal experience, I can advise you to practice in the morning. Have you noticed that a fresh mind always absorbs information better? Remembering new phrases will always be easier in the morning. Of course, this is just my advice, you can study at any convenient time.

Second way

Let's go further. Podcasts are the next. This word will seem familiar to many, but not everyone understands its meaning. Podcasts are audio or video programs that have a specific theme. Usually podcasts exist in the form of radio or TV broadcasts that come out at regular intervals.

Did you know that there are thousands of different podcasts on the Internet that help you learn a foreign language on your own? Yes, millions of people around the world are actively using this method! Be it a child or an adult!

Inspired by the craving for knowledge, install the application With . What is TuneIn you ask? I answer - this is an application that allows you to listen to more than 100,000 radio stations from around the world. Perhaps this is the largest and most serious project of its kind, which is now on the market. Some well-known manufacturers, such as HTC, install TuneIn in their smartphones from the factory. The app's impressive download figures of over 100,000,000 times indicate that the project is very popular.

Price: Free

In addition to the main genres of radio stations (blues, jazz, rock, indie, country disco and more), TuneIn Radio lets you listen to talk stations, sports and news channels, and podcasts. Interestingly, there is a section of audiobooks that has a large number of genres.

I spent several hours getting acquainted with the podcasts. As a result, I discovered a very interesting channel “Learn English with Don’t Speak”. This channel will be useful to anyone who wants to improve their spoken English. In a boring conversation, the presenters lay everything out on sticks based on the simple rules of the English language.

After thinking about my thoughts, I came to the conclusion: it is simply necessary for every person to develop! Language learning will be no exception. I hope that my 2 alternative ways to learn English on your own will help readers in this interesting matter. Friends, if you liked this article, then I will be very grateful to you for the repost! Thank you!

Learning a new language is a difficult task, but quite doable. Learning any language can be broken down into four parts: reading, writing, listening and speaking. If you want to learn English faster, start with the first step below.

Steps

Part 1

Game Methods

Read, read, read. One of the easiest steps you can take to learn English faster is to read as much as possible. Read constantly. This will increase your vocabulary, help you learn grammar and get to know slang.

Read comics. If you don't want to read children's books, read comics. You can buy many comics in English in bookstores or online, or read them for free online (these are usually called webcomics).
Read books that you are familiar with. You can also read a book that you have read before. If you are already aware of what is happening in the book, it will be easier for you to guess and understand the meanings of words.
Read newspapers. Reading newspapers is a good way to learn the basics of a language because they usually have very good grammar and are easy to understand. You can find online versions of many good English newspapers such as the New York Times or The Guardian.

Watch movies. Watching movies will also help you improve your English. This allows you to hear how a particular word sounds and also helps you learn new words. You can start watching movies with subtitles, but without subtitles, you will learn more. If you have a basic vocabulary, try not to use subtitles, but focus on listening to words you already know and guess the meaning of unfamiliar words from the context.

Play MMO games. MMO games are games that you play with other people over the Internet. You can play with people from English-speaking countries, which will give you the opportunity to talk with them and learn the language from them. Try playing Guild Wars, World of Warcraft, or The Elder Scrolls Online.

Find a pen pal online. Penfriends learn your language when you write letters to them and they reply. You write half of the letter in your own language so your friend can practice it and half in English so you can practice your English. You can talk about whatever you want! There are many websites that can help you find a pen pal.

Get some friends. You can just make friends with a person from an English speaking country and chat with them via email or skype to practice your English. You can find friends by joining a community of interest, or through language learning communities like Fluentify.

Sing songs. Singing songs is another good way to improve your English. This will help you get familiar with the sounds of the English language (rhymes will help with pronunciation). Learning songs will also help improve your vocabulary. Find a song you like, learn it and find out what the words mean.

Part 2
Serious studies
1. Sign up for courses. English courses will help you learn the most important words and grammar and help you make sure you do everything right. There are two main ways to take English courses:
  - Get busy on the internet. You can take courses online. Some of them cost money and some are free. Courses that cost money can be better than free ones, but that's not always the case! Good examples of online programs are Livemocha and Duolingo.
  - Get involved in an educational institution. You can take a course at a local university or language school. They cost money, but the help of a teacher will be very helpful and will help you learn English faster than if you were trying to learn it on your own.
2. Keep a diary. This will force you to practice writing and build up your vocabulary. It will also force you to practice building new sentences instead of just repeating phrases you already know. You can record everything that happened during the day. You can also keep a small journal where you write down new words as you hear or see them.
  
  Travel to an English speaking country. Visiting a country where everyone speaks English will help you learn it much faster. Find a part-time job or enroll in a training course in an English-speaking country. You can also make short trips, but immersion in the language environment for at least 3 months will have the best result.
  
  Engage in self-education. Of course, you can study English on your own. To quickly learn English on your own, you need to make this activity the most important thing for you. Devote all your free time to learning English and use your English as often as possible.
  
  Take advantage of online resources. There are many online resources to help English learners. They range from word card-type programs to mobile phone applications. Try ANKI (flashcards), Memrise (flashcards and more), or Forvo (pronunciation guide).
  
  Immerse yourself in the language environment. Language immersion is one of the best ways to learn a language. This means that you must study English every day for at least 3 hours a day. One hour a week is not enough. It is best to spend at least 6 hours a day to listen, write and speak English.
Part 3
Do's and Don'ts

Do you need to quickly learn English before a trip or an interview, business negotiations or exams? In this article, we will tell you whether it is possible to quickly learn English and how best to do it: on your own or with a teacher. Let's say right away: we will not reveal the secret of learning a language in three days, but you will learn how to effectively learn English at an accelerated pace.

Our articles help you improve your English. But even better is a good teacher. At the Inglex online school, we have combined strong teachers and the comfort of online classes. Try English on Skype at .

Is it possible to quickly learn English

To begin with, let's answer the main question that readers often ask us: "Is it possible to learn English quickly?" Yes, it is possible and justified in cases where you urgently need to prepare for any of the following events:

passing an exam for admission to a Russian or foreign university;
passing an interview in English;
travel abroad;
moving abroad;
certain work situations (negotiations, presentations, promotion, etc.).

If you are preparing for one of the above events, we recommend learning English with a teacher. This method will be as efficient and fast as possible for several reasons:

Well-designed program- the teacher himself will find the best materials for classes and provide you. When studying on your own, you run the risk of finding hundreds of useful links on the Internet and not knowing what to grab onto.
Complete understanding of materials- the teacher will present the information in a logical order so that you understand everything and do not get stuck on one topic for a long time.
Control and motivation- the teacher will control your learning process, monitor your progress and motivate you for further studies.
Expertise- the teacher knows all the nuances regarding your event, for example, he has experience in preparing students for successful interviews in English. The teacher understands from his own experience what you need to know and what to pay attention to.

If time is running out and you need to learn English very quickly, please contact our school. Within the next 24 hours you will begin to improve your knowledge. You can meet our teachers at.

If you want to learn English quickly and on your own, refer to the resources from the third part of our article. In addition, the following materials will help you: "", "", "", "".

How to speed up learning English with a teacher

Learning English with a teacher is the fastest way to achieve your goal. We want to tell you what you should pay attention to in order to achieve maximum results.

1. Find "your" teacher

Even in a hurry, try to find a teacher with whom it will be pleasant and interesting for you to study. Decide whether a strict and demanding teacher or someone who will joke a lot and present even serious topics with humor is right for you. In addition, the teacher must be a true professional and have experience in the matter with which you are addressing him (passing an exam, passing an interview, etc.). If the teacher meets all these requirements, then you definitely won’t quit classes in a week, but continue to study with pleasure until you reach your goal.

2. Determine the scope of work

In the very first lesson with the teacher, explain in detail why you are learning English so that the teacher can determine what topics you need to study and what exactly you need to know. Specify the exact date of the event, so that the teacher knows how long you need to learn all the material.

3. Exercise 3-5 times a week

Preparing for a job interview or exam is not the time to relax. You need to get the maximum knowledge in a short time, so get ready for hard work. It is optimal to study with a teacher 3-5 days a week for 1-2 hours a day and devote the same amount of time to independent work: doing homework, repeating material, etc.

4. Do Big Homework

Be sure to ask the teacher to give you voluminous homework assignments. So you will repeat the material learned in the lesson, fix it in your memory, and at the same time find out how well you learned the information. The teacher will check your work, identify mistakes and help you get rid of them, so be sure to take the opportunity to test your knowledge.

5. Don't neglect writing

The ability to perform written work in English will come in handy to close almost any language learning goal. While writing, you find and use new words and phrases, expand your vocabulary, turn on your rote memory, and you better remember the words you use.

6. Try learning with a native speaker

What to do on your own to learn English quickly

Decided to prepare for the event yourself? Well, the work ahead is not easy, but interesting. In this part of the article, we have collected for you only working methods for quickly learning English.

But even if you study English with a teacher, no one has canceled independent work. The more time you devote to English, the faster you will learn it and the more material you will learn. So the following materials can be used in your free time from lessons.

1. Choose a good authentic textbook

This point is important for those who study without the help of a teacher: the textbook will help you structure your knowledge and properly “dose” it. You can choose a good manual in the review article "". We advise you to take 1 lesson-unit in 2-3 days if you want to quickly master the material.

2. Memorize phrases, not individual words

Many polyglots practice this technique in order to quickly learn English: they don’t memorize individual words, but whole phrases of topics of interest to them. For details about people who speak several languages, read the article "". You need to do the same: you are going on a trip - study our phrasebooks for tourists (start with ""), you will take an exam - learn examples of phrases from "" or "".

3. Retell thematic texts

This technique will help you learn the necessary vocabulary in context, remember frequently used phrases. For example, you are preparing for an interview at an oil company. Search texts on the topic of oil production to familiarize yourself with professional terminology. Retell the text after reading, using new useful words and phrases.

4. Review what you have learned

No matter how fast you are in a hurry to "swallow" the layer of the English language, take the time to repeat the previously studied material, otherwise it will fly out of your head very quickly. Read the articles "" and "", with their help you will teach your memory to work "perfectly well."

5. Immerse yourself in the language environment

To learn English faster, you need to try to create a suitable language environment around you. This can be done like this:

Listen to audio content
With the help of podcasts, you will develop your listening comprehension in English. First of all, of course, you need to listen to the audio recordings for the textbook, complete the attached tests in order to immediately evaluate your achievements in English. You can also practice using our websites or the LearnEnglish Podcasts by British Council (for Android) and LearnEnglish Audio & Video by British Council (for iOS) apps.
Watch video footage
Read books and articles
The best texts for learning are textbook texts, but if you are used to reading at least a couple of pages of an interesting book at night, try reading it in English. In the text you will see how the words and grammatical constructions of the English language “work” in practice. In the article "", we have compiled a convenient table of books, distributing them by level of knowledge. If time is running out, read small texts on resources from our selection "".

6. Run tests

Tests not only test your knowledge, but also help you understand the misunderstood rule if there are comments on the tasks. Be sure to solve tests from the textbook you are studying from, as well as visit websites with grammar and vocabulary assignments. We talked about good sites in the articles "" and "".

7. Do translation exercises

8. Change activities

Try to alternate different types of exercises every 20-30 minutes so as not to tire your brain with monotonous tasks. Thus, you will better absorb knowledge and it will be interesting for you to study. Alternately engaging in different activities is the only correct way to quickly learn English.
