Learn How to Learn

I try to study  a little bit of English every day. I was thinking: more difficult than learning a new language is learning how to learn. Sometimes I feel lost. Books teach us how to make questions like "What time is it?" But if I don't know the numbers, for example, I will not understand the answer. I'm still looking for the best way to start my lessons every single day. Anyway, I'm feeling happy with my progress.


Hello Camila,

The most important thing is to feel happy with your progress, whatever you do. Why not use music to help you learn. Over at lyricstraining.com you can listen to songs in your favourite genre and practise your listening skills by completing gapfills - try choice first! You can look up new words in the lyrics and see how they are used and you can practise singing along to the songs too.

Hope this helps

I think at first it is very important to see what is your motivation to learn the language in your case English. If you want to travel you should focus on general topics like: how to find different places (asking for directions), weather, how to make small conversations with people, etc If you want to work using that language you have to learn different vocabulary or if you have a passion connected with the language. You can find some of the basic vocabulary and grammar on the Internet especially for English. I think a very good way to learn the basics is the free program Duolingo. It covers all the grammar and different subjects and it is like a game, you can learn from Portuguese English, French, Spanish and German give it try.
