How to learn chemical engineering English

Coming to this forum to discuss things with everyone is the best way to learn *chemical engineering English.

Buy a book on chemical engineering English and start learning from it; if you don’t understand something, you can discuss it on forums

Lay a solid foundation first, so it won’t be difficult to understand. Read more English abstracts

I am the moderator of the chemical English section on HGBBS. I hope everyone will exchange knowledge with one another, learn from each other’s strengths, and use others’ advantages to improve oneself! Friends often complain that there is no way to improve their professional English. I have this confusion too! Most people on the forum are specialists in certain fields, so the standards and regulations related to those fields serve as our bible. Due to historical reasons (I really don’t want to say it.) (This is what people in our country often say when they want to find an excuse); our standards are rather chaotic – we first copied those of the Soviet Union and Russia, and then those of Japan and the United States (and we didn’t do a proper job of copying them, not like the Japanese who are serious about learning to the utmost), which has led to many contradictions in the standards across various industries. The more we look at standard materials for beginners, the more confused we become! Actually, standards and specifications become clear to us once we have a preliminary understanding of them in the context of work or projects. Then one can move beyond domestic standards and directly refer to the standards set by those who established national standards. For example, US standards. One has to admit that foreigners are superior to us in terms of science and logical reasoning; their standards are also more objective, taking into account the views of various interest groups and social classes. Moreover, they are able to make continuous, systematic updates and improvements, ensuring no logical contradictions over time! So, as long as one is willing to pay close attention to American standards, it’s essential to understand ASME, which deals with materials. Understanding their architecture and mastering the standard languages and terminology is essential in order to integrate with the standards used by those in one’s home country! Over time, it became possible to communicate with the Japanese using engineering or technical terms! I’m just a beginner who has just started looking at the standards; I’m writing down my thoughts to share them with you as an encouragement!

If you have no foundation in English and want to learn it well, you must work hard and stay determined; you need to be prepared to start with the most basic things such as memorizing words and sentences! You can gather some information online, and then watch online classes to see how other teachers teach people with no prior knowledge of English. Here is a trial link for LeZhi English; after registering and activating the account with your phone, you can watch the teachers’ live lessons – it’s quite good! hiknow.com/sessionhall.html?uid=T0xxre

Words alone are not enough; articles are needed, otherwise it will lead to misinterpretation. It would be better to be able to share articles. Thank you!

Yes, enough with that chemical engineering jargon; just understanding these chemical products is already challenging enough, not to mention pumps

Yes, that’s how learning English works – different words can have different meanings in different contexts: handshake
