How to learn English well
Thread Content
I started learning *English in junior high school, and by the time I graduated from university after ten years, I only knew \"dumb English\" – I couldn’t speak nor write in it. After 14 years of work, I had almost forgotten everything; now the company is aiming for international expansion, seeking to export its technologies and expertise abroad. As a result, professionals are required to improve their English skills to meet the company’s development needs. The foreign parties even demand proficiency in English, French, or even the local indigenous languages. What should I do? How can one learn a foreign language quickly?
Spend money on training and do some intensive practice; the key is to boost interest and find opportunities to speak English.
Yes, if you want quick results, training is the way to go. I have a friend in Beijing who learned English and French in a short 3-week course, and the results were good. As for learning on a regular basis, I think interest plays an important role. Moreover, when it comes to speaking, there’s no need to be too concerned about grammar when communicating with foreigners
To put it boldly, try to use a few new words every day; over time this will lead to gradual improvement
1. Keep reading English-language newspapers and magazines. 2. Keep studying grammar, and repeatedly memorize the high-frequency words from the CET-4 and CET-6 exams. 3. Listen to New Concept English, American Accent, etc. when you have time. 4. Visit high-quality English learning websites or forums more often.
In your case, it’s important to get some technical terms correct; to achieve this, it’s best to read professional books in English as well as foreign technical reports.
Practice speaking as much as possible.
I Think I Can If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you don’t; If you want to win but think you can’t, It’s almost certain you won’t. If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost; For in this world we find That success begins with one’s will; It’s all a matter of mindset. The battles of life don’t always go To the strongest or fastest person, But sooner or later, the one who wins Is the one who believes he can.
