Activities
- Not necessarily the 'quickest', but one of the most important: Listening! You need to listen to a lot of English so that you know how it's spoken. If you don't, you'll always be guessing / translating, which at best will be slow and influent, and at worst will be incoherent. In terms of improving 'quickly', focus on what's important to you and what you'll be talking about in YOUR life. If you're a doctor, you should learn how to talk about your field; if you love movies, you should learn how to describe your favourites, etc. Not only will you be most motivated to learn these things, but this will most likely be the language that you need to use most and will repeat the most. Most of all: Have fun and enjoy the process. Learning a language takes time and you need to be patient!0 votedOctober 16, 20210
- This is the natural order of adjectives in English: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/adjectives-order It's something that becomes instinctive once you've read/listened to enough English! Here's an interesting article on the subject: https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-372857960 votedOctober 16, 20210
- As people have said above, it can be good to learn the tenses one by one then start comparing and contrasting them. I'd also add that these tenses may look one way on paper, but sound quite different in fluent, spoken English. The aux verbs 'have' and 'had, and 'been', all get contacted/reduced when people speak fluently, so you need to train your ear to catch them as well as your eyes/brain to notice them in writing.0 votedSeptember 18, 20210
- If you're trying to learn vocabulary for the IELTS exam then I'd recommend the following: 1) Read articles (the BBC magazine is a good resource) and watch videos (TED talks are good) about common topics that often come up; for example, the environment, education, technology, etc. 2) Take note of 'topic-specific vocabulary' and collocations that you see/hear, and the context in which they occur. 3) Periodically review this vocab. To help with memorization, I'd recommend: A) writing (meaningful) context sentences using the new vocabulary. B) memorising chunks of language/phrases as well as just single words. B) drawing pictures. C) as above, periodically reviewing your notes. Take your time with this and be consistent and the vocabulary will stick to :)0 votedSeptember 18, 20210
