How to Learn English Fast - 7 Tips for English Fluency

Hello! This is Jack from tofluency.com, and in this video I'm going to share

seven amazing tips to help you learn English fast, so keep watching!

To help you understand the first two tips I want to share with you the

fluency equation. Your progress to fluency equals the methods that you use

times by the time you spend using these methods. Let's focus on methods first

because how you learn english is vital and there are certain methods that you

can use to help you make faster progress these include: learning new words and

phrases in context so instead of learning single words from lists

learn them from context, from sentences. Work on your pronunciation - you can

improve your pronunciation by learning the sounds of English and working on

things like intonation, rhythm and stress - this will improve your speaking

and your listening. Get lots of repetition - you can use digital flash

cards to help you internalize grammar and learn new words and phrases. You can

also get smart repetition through narrow reading and listening. To learn more

about the methods are really going to help you get the free download that

comes with this video.

The more time you spend learning English and using English, the faster you will

progress. This is the second part of the equation, however. I receive so many

emails from learners telling me that they're too busy to learn english. I get

it - I'm busy; you're busy; we're all busy. I have two things to say about that...

Firstly, make english a priority. If learning English is important to you then make it

one of your priorities - make it part of your daily routine.

Secondly, do things in English while doing other things.

Listening to a podcast while going to work is one example, but also do things

in English instead of in your native language, for example, search for things

online in English, watch TV in English, and change the language of your devices

into English too. Even if you're super busy, there are ways that you can spend

more time doing things in English, and this is a really important area, so think

about your routine and find more ways to do more in English.

Making a fluency plan that is specific to you will help you become a more

effective English learner. Everyone is different and the English that you need

to learn is different to the English that someone else needs to learn. Think

about why you need English and how you're going to use it in the future. If

you have an exam that you need to pass, then learn English that is specific to

the exam. If you need English for work, then learn Business English. Additionally,

work on your weaknesses - work on things that you need to improve. Evaluate

yourself or get evaluated by a teacher and then create a plan that is specific to you.

Many studies have shown how important it is to enjoy what you're doing when it

comes to learning a language. If you're doing things that are boring then

stopped doing them. If you're not engage, you are not as open to a new language -

things aren't as memorable and it's difficult to continue doing something

that you don't enjoy over the long-term. So, have fun,

listen to things that you enjoy, watch things that are interesting to you - this

is going to be more beneficial for your learning and also you're going to be

learning English that is specific to you, something that we talked about before.

I have a quote for you: "A goal is a dream with a deadline."

Don't just say that you want to learn English, instead, create a goal - a

specific goal with a deadline. Having a go with a deadline allows you to

create a plan for the long-term - a goal also keeps you motivated and excited

about your daily learning. When setting your fluency goal make it challenging; make

it a little bit scary. This ensures that you push yourself and ensures that you

make faster progress.

Many learners go through what I call 'cycles of learning'. This is where you get really

excited about learning English and you say "This time I'm actually going to

continue learning and reach fluency." And you have a plan of studying three hours

a day. But, all the time, I see learners who have this type of plan but then stop

learning or they dramatically reduce the hours they spend with English. It's

important to know that consistency is key; it helps you build momentum

especially with something like learning English which is a long-term project.

Having a goal, making your learning specific to you, and having fun - all help

you stay consistent, but there are two other things I want to share that will

help you too: Make your fluency plan part of your daily routine and do things that

are sustainable. Making English part of your routine will help you get into the

habit of learning and using your English - and it is these habits that will dictate

your level over the next few months and the next year, and beyond.

I also mentioned that it's important to create a plan that's sustainable; a plan

that you can actually do over the long term. So, when you think about doing more

things in English, you can always start small

add little things to your day and increase this over time, because a good plan

over the long term is better than the perfect plan for two weeks

Speaking in English can be scary. I know this because so many people - so many

English learners - tell me that they are afraid of making mistakes; they are

afraid of looking stupid. Listen, you are going to make mistakes as an English

learner - learning English - you are going to make mistakes. It's impossible to

avoid them. Also know that native speakers make mistakes too. I made

mistakes all the time.

My friends do, everyone makes mistakes. Now, if somebody laughs at you because

you make a mistake either laugh with them or leave the conversation if they are being

nasty. Learning from your mistakes is really important too. This will help you

make big improvements. So, get feedback on your speaking and feedback on your

writing too. Thank you for watching this video, but do not go yet because I have
