When I was learning English, I used to watch a video repeatedly for many days. That could help me to have all those words and structures in my long term memory. So pick up a video and then watch it every day for a week. That could be boring but the result is gonna be wonderful.

I think the most important when you learn Languages are the patient and confident. Listen more and more, read day by day and don't feel shying when you have a mistake in writing and speaking. Nobody is perfect. Thank you for your video!

Step 1: Name objects around you in English in your head 0:55 Step 2: Think in simple sentences 3:31 Step 3: Have small conversations with yourself in English 5:14 Step 4: Change one of your everyday life things to English 6:23 Step 5: Keep track so you're doing it every day 8:47 Step 6: Recap your day in English 9:22

These are what I've been telling my friends who want to improve their English to do. Especially Step 4, I use it when I learn Japanese, German and Spanish. I literally change everything in my life into the language which I'm learning. Including Computer OS, smart phone OS (having an iPhone is so convenient doing this), and I even switched all my video games' languages settings.

Never make fun of someone who speaks broken english, it means they know another language.

1. Naming objects 2. Simple sentences 3. Conversation with yourself 4. Change everyday thing of your life 5. Track your life in English

Hello . I'm from Iran . frankly speaking I can't speak English well , but I wanna say you're awesome . Because you speaks fluently and slowly and I understands your words easily . Good luck 💯

Step 4 is a thing I've been doing for a long time. I have every social media in English and I can say I improved a lot by that. I used to watch tiktok and read comments in English. I learn so many new words that I can use in daily conversations

If you want to learn a language efficiently, then you need to give that language life. Every word needs to connect to sounds, images, senses, tastes, and emotions. Every bit of grammar can’t be some kind of abstract grammatical quote, needs to be something that can help you tell your story. 5-Discipline, you have to know before learning a new language 1. Make learning fun. 2. Make lots of mistakes and learn from them. 3. Don’t compare yourself with other learners. 4. Be Patient (Don’t say when I learn the language like a native, make it step by step). 5. Live with this language. Make a suitable method for you, there’re thousands of methods to learn a language choose a fun method. 5-Discipline, you have to practice the language every single day 1. Listen at least for 30 minutes. 2. Read a novel or news or anything you are interested in for 30 minutes. 3. Speak with yourself or a partner if you have, discuss different topics, or talk about what happened in your day before you go to sleep. 4. Learn 5 new words or sentences and repeat them everyday day, and use them in your conversations. 5. Write your personal journal every day ‘’If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his language, that goes to his heart.” Nelson Mandela Remind yourself about the benefits of learning this language, That will motivate you. Read this quote load every day ‘’Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever.’’ Don’t focus on yourself, focus on the result that you want to achieve. English is not an art to be mastered, English is just a tool to use to get results.

Learning a new language takes dedication and courage. Be kind to those making an effort, regardless of their progress.

My personal tips: 1- Start to read more in English. Everyday read texts that are relevant and interesting for you. Use the internet to find nice articles. 2- Read them without translating a single word on you head. Only worry about the pronunciation. The main porpouse is to learn new words and strength the ones you've already know. If you notice that you're translating in your head, stop translating and start again. This will also help you start thinking in English. 3- After you've already read the text. Get the words that you don't know in a list and look for them in a English-English dictionary. If you are a beginner it's ok to use an Eglish-(your language) dictionary, but when you become a intermediate student, use only English-English dictionary. 4- This exercise will help you to thinking in English and your reading speed and comprehension will increase a lot. This will also help you with listening, that's why you need to learn the correct words pronunciation, because once you hear that word you'll get it. 5- Start to watch YouTube videos in English. Use subtitles IN ENGLISH until you get more advanced and confident to watch videos without them. 6- Watch videos about issues that are relevant and interesting for you and when you're listening the words don't worry about their meaning, focus on the pronunciation only. You gonna learn a lots of words throughout the context. 7-Combine reading texts and watch videos about the same subject in English. You gonna learn a lots of vocabulary and your reading, speaking, thinking, listening and comprehension skills will level up amazingly. And always remember about to not translating in your head. Just learn the words how they are pronounced and look for the meanings you don't know using an English-English dictionary. A nice online English-English dictionary is vocabulary.com, they have easy explanations with examples and you can also hear how the words are pronounced by a native speaker.

I did all of these steps like 3 years ago. I promise you IT WORKED! Now I think in English and I feel more fluent. Another thing I do is to copy phrases from movies or tv shows that helps me to get expressions and then sound more natural in conversations

As this English is my Second Language because i am Filipino 🇵🇭🇵🇭. for how many years speaking on this language i became more slowly native by native. and i'm grateful when i found out my talent☺️

I've been studying English for 11 years in school, and I don't even remember when I started thinking in English. It just always occured to me as natural.
