About Learning English I recently realized how to learn English. Listening and Speaking in English need different skills. First, it is important in listening to recognize sounds of English. When I listen to English, I check the sound by comparing my English sound database in my brain. To build this database, I have to listen to unknown sounds repeatedly until I recognize the sounds as the words with meaning. Second, it is important in speaking to make sentences with correct grammer. This skill is trained by making simple sentences many times. This situation may be particular to Japanese people. Because sounds and grammer of English are much different from Japanese. Needless to say, both skills need the basic knowledge of English words and grammer.
