6 Tips for Improving English Language Ability
English is one of the most studied languages, especially in Indonesia. Even at all levels of education in Indonesia, there is this lesson. Then most of them have enough English skills (including myself), have studied for years but the results are not as expected, not even an increase. Well ... that is a very common problem, even my own experience it. In this article, I will discuss, how to solve the problem through the article titled 6 Tips to Improve English Ability.
In learning a new language we must try to speak the language (the language we learn) if in this article I discuss English so, try to speak, write in English. Still not dare try speaking English? why shy? calm bro/sis is wrong in English is a natural thing for "learner" yes ... it's a natural thing because the English language in our country status is a foreign language so, it's a natural thing. I think that's the first step before you read the tips from me. Ok, then I will discuss his tips check this out!
What You Should Do
1. Talk to Slow (Slow down your speech speed).
Talk slowly? huh ...? Yes ... true Speaking slowly is the main key so you can improve your English skills. How come?hmm ... so, by slowing the pace of speech, you will speak clearly so that what you talk can be understood by others well, even though your grammar is still not good, and vice versa. When you speak quickly or very quickly the speaker will be confused with what you are talking about, so that others do not understand what you are talking about.
By slowing down the speed of speech, you will be better at choosing words that will be used so that you will give a positive impression on your interlocutor. How come? yes ... because he will definitely understand whatever you are talking about, in other words, your conversation is more easily understood when delivered in a slow way. Even a great speaker speaks quietly, why? this is because the message conveyed delivered and understood well by their "audience". So from now on try to speak English slowly "Slow Down Your Speaking Speed".
2. Relax and Take Time to Think.
Relax and take time to think. This should be applied before speaking, but not too long. Yes ... of course, because they will also be tired of waiting. Then what to do during that free time? All you have to do is improve the choice of words and calm down so that things do not happen in want . Then what to fix, there are some things that must be improved so that your English skills look better: Verb patterns (Verb patterns); Idioms; Collocations (sanding words). An example of its application, I will explain in the next paragraph.
As for some words that can be used to improve word choice, as follows:
- Well, during the day ...
- In the meantime why do not we ...
- It has been a long time since ...
- Sorry to trouble you ... but ...
- Would you mind if ...
- Oh! Come on ...
- I'm just kidding ...
Here is an example of its implementation:
Someone asks " why is there so much violence shown on tv? " To answer it you just need to ask time to think by a little way of diverting the conversation in the following way "Here 's a good question. Let me think for a moment. " Here you can start to thinking of a reasonable answer after that goes on to say " I have not thought about it before ... well, I suppose ... " and you can begin to answer the question. I hope that way you can apply yes ... maybe in your own way or you can use those words.
Other methods can also be applied by repeating the question or reflecting by adding a few sentences to the question, so you can think calmly and you also do not feel pressured by the question from the other person.
3. Learn Complete Sentences
To improve your English skills, learning how to use a word is important. If all this you only remember the word or vocabulary it without knowing how to use it it is one thing that is in vain. Because without knowing how to apply it you will forget the words and you will not know how to apply them in a sentence. For example the word "Ignorant" in Indonesian means stupid. If you do not know how to use the word "Ignorant" then you will not be able to apply it in everyday life and slowly words that already remember will disappear slowly. Then how to use the example "Ignorant" example: " they are ignorant people, that's why people called them useless people"
That was one example of using the word "ignorant". Inside the dictionary, there is also how to apply a word in a sentence. If in your dictionary does not exist, hmm ... I think you should replace your old dictionary with a new dictionary, of course, there is a way of applying the word in a sentence. Here I will also give youtube channel which is very recommended for you who want to learn English this him: Dialy Video Vocabulary
4. Learn to Listen.
When someone speaks English, try to focus and listen to it. That way you can improve your English skills, in addition, you can also correct if the person is making a mistake (not required). But I think to correct if you do not need to discuss the error with his person directly, just make a lesson so you do not make the same mistake. On the other hand, listening to others is a very important source of English learning, because we learn by practice and also learn to respond when others speak. So stop all your activities temporarily and focus is when someone else talks.
5. Exercise to Ask (In English)
Asking questions is a way to show more appreciation to the other person. Besides giving questions can also make the dialogue warmer, so the conversation does not seem boring. Then what is a suitable question to ask? yes .... of course, a question that does not offend the other person and the question does not involve a personal thing. You can ask but keep your "manner" or courtesy.
*additional*
6. Exercise !, Exercise !, and Exercise!
Exercise! Exercise! and Exercise! without your practice will not be able to develop. Without practice, you will disappear slowly. When you stop practicing, right away you stop growing. Therefore do not get bored with the exercise because it is very important to you and of course for myself is also important. Of course, you do not want it ... if your science just disappear?
