Learning a foreign language is a difficult task for most of us but, with patience, and lots of practice you can achieve your goal. Like any other goal, learning (or improving) English requires a plan. I put up together 11 methods for improving English that are very useful for any learner of English.
I have been teaching English in Ho Chi Minh City since 2008 and during this time I met a lot of people (mostly Vietnamese). Some of them speak good English, some others not very good, and many of them don’t speak English at all. Whoever they are and their language ability is, they always want to talk about learning English and how to do it better.
Based on their interest in learning English language and their results, I created my own classification of learners of English. This classification might be true for other learners of English (other than Vietnamese) as well.
Writing is also called “the forgotten skill”. For most learners of English writing is the least important and it is considered in many cases useless. Everybody says a language is mostly listened and spoken. Personally I totally disagree since I have learned English through writing.
It is hard for me to remember any vocabulary item if I don’t know how to spell it. Maybe this is only my case but this is the reason I consider writing very important. Below are six great writing activities suitable for young learners but not only.
