Activities
- If the house next to you were empty, you might wonder if the person who will buy it is a good or bad neighbor. As there is no specific person known yet, that would the "potential neighbor" (possible neighbor). "I hope my potential neighbor won't be a person who plays loud music!"0 votedMarch 15, 20120
- Believe it or not, this is the single most common problem that people have for progressing with a language. You just have to (as Nike says!) do it, and most people will be pleased you are trying to speak their language. That way, you will gain confidence. There will be the occasional idiot that laughs at your attempts, but just ignore them!0 votedMarch 15, 20120
- By using the grammar in real sentences. Make up sentences to say them to yourself or, better, have conversations with English speakers. After a while you won't be thinking about the grammar, you will be using it naturally. You will never speak English well just by studying grammar.0 votedMarch 15, 20121
- As many as you want! Start with the words that are most useful for your needs. That way you will be using them, and in conversation you will learn many others as result of starting with something you REALLY need. Learning a language is so much easier and faster when it is done organically!0 votedMarch 15, 20121
- Although some people might tell you not to use these expressions because they are slang or lazy, I believe that if you really want to learn a language, you should aim to be as near a native speaker as possible. That is the real language. I'm a native English speaker, and use both expressions, although "gonna" sounds more like "gunna" in normal speech. I'm also a fluent (Mexican) Spanish speaker, and use expressions like "pos", instead of "púes", and "dónd' estás", just like native Mexicans. It's just a normal part of TRULY mastering the language and all its idiosyncrasies. Real language doesn't come out of a textbook!0 votedMarch 15, 20122
