my first note Hello All, This is my first note because I have decided that I cannot wait longer and I have to practice my english writing skills. Today I would like to share with you my five best tips for improving your language skills. If you want to develop your english language in a pleasant way, please stay with me. :) 1. Have a goal. First of all, you need to decide why do you want to improve your english. Do you love travelling and the foreign language is necessary to communicate with other people? Are you looking for a job where english is one of the requirements? Or maybe you want to gain a language certificate to legitimate your skills? Having a goal is the first step to progress. It can helps you to create your development plan and it always reminds you why learning is so important for you. 2. Don't be afraid of making mistakes! Mistakes are also helpful for us because they shows us what we should focus on. Please remember that no one is perfect and never compare yourself with other english speakers. Even if your english level is quite low, don't give up and practice as frequently as possible. 3. Immerse yourself in english. :) Do you like watching series? Watch them but do it in english! I promise you that if you will try, you will never want to back to watching series with a lecturer. If you prefer books than movies, you can also try to find your favourite books in english. I highly recommend you that method because in my opinion it is a perfect opportunity to learn vocabulary. Do you commute to work? Listen podcasts during your way! Also, install a flashcards application on your smartphone to be able to build your vocabulary wherever and whenever you want. There is a lot of methods which can help you improve your language skills, so choose something the most interesting for you. Please make sure that you are practicing all skills like reading, listening and speaking. 4. Don't avoid any opportunity for speaking. Don't avoid your english lessons or your english speaking colleagues. If you want to speak more, find an english teacher on italki who will be able to coach and support you. 5. Find a job with english language. You will have to speak english on a daily basis because you will have no choice. :) It is a brave step but really beneficial. That's all for today. If you have any other tips please share them with me. I would be also grateful if someone would be able to correct my mistakes.
