πββοΈπ‘LANGUAGE LEARNING TIP - GRAMMAR π
Hello everyone!
Today I wanna talk about the best way to learn grammarπ
When you start a new language or even when you're still at the elementary stage of the language :
β PLEASE DON'T STUDY FROM A GRAMMAR BOOK!! π
ββοΈ
It will confuse you so much to the point where you would want to give upπ₯ When you start to feel confident in the language and you can talk about basic topics AND hold a basic conversation with someone, then you can consult a grammar book for difficult points.ππ»ππ»
β
The best advice I can give for beginner and elementary students when it comes to grammar is to use the same sentence structures when you read articles or watch videos. AND use them daily on Hellotalk. For example :
β‘οΈ Recently, I've learned the Chinese structure ηθ΅·ζ₯ (it looks...). So what I do everyday is to comment ηθ΅·ζ₯ε₯½ε (it looks delicious) on posts about food. Because I repeat this sentence everyday, my brain will easily remember this structureππ
β³οΈβ³οΈ One last thing : DON'T BE AFRAID OF MAKING MISTAKES!! It's natural and it's the best way to learn grammar structures.
Enjoy your language learning journey everyone!! ππππ»

Learn English Tip #1
Talking about the past
Always remember we NEVER use 'have/has' when we talk about a specific time in the past. Here are some examples :
* I TOOK a shower this morning ( Not : I have taken a shower...)
* I LIVED in Beijing in 2010 (Not : I have lived in Beijing...)
* She LEFT a few minutes ago (Not : She has left ....)
Hope this will help some of you :) Always stay motivated!!

SO vs SUCH made simple
Hey all :)
If you've ever wondered when to use 'so' and 'such' correctly, look no further :) It's quite easy when you have some examples to illustrate them. Can you spot the differences?
1) I've had such a terrible day.
2) The room is not clean. It's so terrible.
3) John is such a great writer
4) The party wasn't so great as I'd expected
* SUCH : always goes together with something/someone : such a great DAY, such a friendly MAN
* SO : always goes together with adjectives : Today is so GREAT, the man is so FRIENDLY.
Enjoy!

Hello English learners π
ββIs it necessary to live in an English speaking country to improve your Englishββ
Great news!π The answer is NO. It's true that you need to immerse yourself in an English environment but you can do it right from homeπ
My recommendation to all my students is to save 30 mins to 1 hour everyday for immersion practice. Listen to podcasts, watch your favourite tv series or watch a few Youtube videos daily...in English of course. This will gradually shape your brain to start speaking like a native. It works wonderfully!ππ
Enjoy your English journey and I hope I'll see some of you soon!ππββοΈ

π‘ Learn English tip #3 π
A lot of students confuse the words 'say' and 'tell'. I want to show you an easy way to understand this difference ππ
π·οΈ People SAY that Italy is the most beautiful country in the world.
BUT
πΆοΈ My sister TOLD ME that she is pregnant.
β
We use 'say' for general statements and not together with words like 'me, you, him, her' etc.
β
We use 'tell' when someone TELLS something to someone else e.g. told me, you, him, her, John, Mary etc.
Hope this helpsπ and enjoy your English journey!!πβπ»

English learning tip#2
The use 'had/have' when talking about food & drinks
We rarely use 'eat/ate' or 'drink/drank' when talking about food. To sound more native rather use 'had/have' Here are some examples :
* I had cereal for breakfast
* I'll have the burger special with fries
* We're having dinner with friends tonight
Hope this helps and always stay motivated :)

* SO : always goes together with adjectives : Today is so GREAT, the man is so FRIENDLY.
*** Practice these by describing your day so far. e.g. It's so cold today, I had such a delicious breakfast etc.
Enjoy!
