    What do you expect in English Club activities?

    Hey guys, I'm preparing the activities for an English club of my department (Anthropology). 

     

    I know most of our students don't speak English. And most of our students have never had any interest in learning foreign language. So, I decided to ask you guys, these questions:

     

    1. What do you expect in English Club activities?

    2. What would make you want to participate in a foreign language club?

     

    Thank you for having read this ! If you have any opinions, feel free to join us ;)

     

    Cheers,

    Dear Joy, 

     

    I've never considered learning language as "a subject to study". That's my tips in learning language. A foreign language is like a new place waiting to be explored. There are so many interesting things in learning language: listening to music, watching telly in foreign language, talking to people from all over the world etc. 

     

    To me, it's like a part of me. I use many languages in everyday life and it makes my life happier, richer, more inspiring. 

     

    My advice: Learn a language like it's your language, use it like it's your language, you'll never be bored. 

     

    Sincerely,

    I find the most important thing is learning language is knowing the language as the way it really is. I mean, I want to use the language like a native speaker. What to say in certain moment, differences between formal and informal phrase...etc. Beisde the language, it is also important to know about the culture. That's what I concern in learning language. I want a whole package :)

    Hi Heli, I'm not a native English speaker but this happened to me before and luckily I've succeeded in controlling my speed as well as the structure of my conversations. It's not a problem If you speak slowly. Speaking slowly helps you control what you say better. Try to pronounce clearly while you speak and speak with the speed that you feel comfortable with. Do not try to eat the words. I know a lot of people who eat many syllables while they're speaking. That's not a good idea. To speak a foreign language fluently, you should try speaking alone (monologue) and speaking to native speaker (dialogue). Sometimes you should think of a topic and speak alone and record it. It will help you knowing what's wrong with your skills. Watch movies without subtitles, read articles and newspaper to get used to the language. That's what I've done. I hope it helps :(.
