Steps

  1. Get a good dictionary. If you need to, a dictionary to translate between your first language and English is best.
  2. Practice everyday by checking your pronounciation, and learning a few new words.
  3. Listen to people who speak English. If they talk too fast, kindly ask them to speak slower.
  4. Learn the grammar with careful study. A teacher may be best for this.
  5. Talk in English with other speakers, especially those who speak it as a first language.
  6. Think in English when you have learned it well. Translation in your brain can become confusing after certain points.
  7. Read Simple English in your spare time, such resources can be found at the Simple English Wikipedia and books written for young children.

Tips

  • Read aloud, so you are aware of how you speak.
  • If you have English classes in school, listen and study as much as possible. The hard work will reward you with a master of the language.

Warnings

  • Learning English requires a lot of practice and determination, so don't try to learn everything at once, but don't ever give up!
  • Focus on pronunciation when you speak, since there are many silent letters in English as in French.
  • It is harder to learn if you do not speak it as a first language, but if you are determined to learn, you will become very fluent.
  • The best way to speak English well is to listen to English as much as possible.

Things You'll Need

  • A dictionary with your own language and English to start with, and a normal English Dictionary later on
