Some words about learning English Hello) My name is Yuliya. I’m 27 and I’m trying to do my best to improve my English. Six weeks ago I joined a language challenge and since then there were hardly ever some days when I don’t learn English. I found out some things that I try to do every day or at least some times a week. The first is about expanding my vocabulary. I use the method of 4 repetitions of the words. I make cards with English words on the one side and Russian translation on the other side. I read the word in Russian, translate it into English and turn over the card if I translated correctly I put a card in one deck, if I didn’t do that, I put the card into another deck. I learn the words until all the cards are in the first deck. Then I revise these words in 20 minutes, then in a day, then in two weeks and at last in a month. But it seems to be difficult to me to learn words from different lists, minilexes and so on. I choose the words for learning from my textbook from the lessons I have already done. The other point of my learning is listening. I used to listen podcasts and now I prefer watching series with or even without subtitles. I also try to read every day in English although I still can’t finish reading the first book about Harry Potter but I usually read some articles or information about learning languages. And the last thing that I do every day is chatting on HelloTalk. It’s a wonderful application for language exchange. You choose a person who is learning your language and help him to do it whereas he or she helps you with English. However, it’s not a real-life conversation so you don’t choose a partner because of common interests. First few day you have a lot to speak about: jobs, hobbies, countries, literature. And after that as for me you have nothing to discuss. That is all for now) See you)
