Studying English at home is no longer a strange phrase for many English learners. Many people may have different ways to improve their English. But where is the most effective way? Global Learn offers three ways to learn English effectively so you can practice at home.
-
Speaking in front of the mirror
Speaking is a skill that needs to be practiced regularly, as you need to use all the vocabulary and grammar that you have learned, and the time spent on thinking is on par with the speaking time. You will not have time to shape the whole sentence before you start talking. Therefore, if you are not confident enough to speak English to others, the best way to learn English is to try to speak in front of the mirror. Like you are talking to someone, when looking at the mirror, you will have more emotion to speak, and your words will also be more natural. Ask questions and answer them in front of the mirror, or remind yourself in front of the mirror in English sentences. So you will get used to thinking in English, and you can also recognize your own mistakes when speaking loudly and recording your speech. Gradually, using English as a habit will no longer be strange to you.

Listening to English stories
There is a lot of experience shared about practicing listening English through the film, which is also good if you can catch up with the speed of native speakers in the film. But if you are not used to hearing English at such a fast pace, listening to English stories is a more effective way to learn English. Because the stories told on the web are short stories, or fairy tales that you often hear from your grandma, mother, sister or your teacher, etc. These stories are often for children, so reading speed is also relatively slow, clear and easy to hear. Moreover, words are familiar and not many new words. You have known the story before, now just listening to it in English only. When you feel confident enough, you can move on to other listening content.

Reading bilingual
Reading is one of the most effective ways to learn English, not only to improve your vocabulary, but also help you practice to cover the main idea or get detailed information. But the concern here is what we should read?
Bilingual books or stories are a good idea for reading practice. There are many types of bilingual books that you can find at bookstores or online such as comics, short stories, jokes, psychology, etc. Some of the bestselling titles such as ” The Best of Chicken Soup For The Soul, “” The Christmas Eve, “” The Color of Christmas Eve “, … You can choose the content and type of books you like so that your reading is not boring.
In the ways that Global Learn has suggested, you will quickly improve your English skills at home. However, it is important to be persistent and continuous because you can not be good at English in an instant.
