This is
the first article that I write in English. So I will share about some tips that
you can use to help you in learning English.
First,
I want to tell you that learning foreign language might not be easy at the
beginning. But it does not mean that it is impossible to learn. All you have to
do is just enjoy the process and keep practice. Last, do not give up!
In
learning English, you have to be able to master the 3 skills: Listening, Writing, and Speaking.
Okay, Let
us get started!
1. Try to
Listen Everything in English
In
learning a language, the first thing that you have to do is ‘get used to the language’. This is the
first stage that you have to do in learning a language. You have to get used to
the language that you are learning, so you have to listen the language more
often. Because if we are learning a foreign language or new language that is
not our main language, it will hard for us to listen the words or even in
pronounce it. Because new language is ‘a
new thing’ for us. We have to make ourself know the language by listening
to English songs, watching videos in English.
If
you are listening to English songs, make sure that you find out the lyrics and
read it while listening to the song. It will help you in knowing how to
pronounce the words and help you in memorizing the spelling of the words. Next,
if you are watching videos in English, make sure you put the English subtitle
so you can read the dialog while watching it. Last, make sure that you do it
regularly and try to do it more often. In that way, soon your listening skill will improve.
2. Try to
Learn Basic Tenses
Talking
about tenses, there are 3 sequences of
time that you have to learn: Past
Tense, Present Tense, and Future Tense. You have to learn the tenses that
most used in daily conversation. Try to start learn it from the simple thing,
then you can move into the higher stage in your learning process.
I
will explain the 3 tenses shortly. First,
Past Tense. It is a tense that talk about event that happen in the past. For ex: I went to the game center with my friends yesterday. As you can see the marked words went is the past form of go and
there is a word and there is a word yesterday
which explain about when the event
happen.
Next, is Present Tense. This
tense is talking about the events that happen regularly (ex: daily activity). For ex: She plays violin on every Thursday.
As you can noticed, the word plays is
the word play added by s. Because
the subject of the sentence is part of Third
Person Singular (He, She, It), so the verb
in the sentence must be added by S/ES at the end of the word. Last, the word every Thursday shows that when the event happen.
Last, is Future Tense. This
tense is a tense that talking about the event that happen in the future. Ex: I will visit my cousin’s house next
Saturday. The word will visit
shows that the event that the subject will
do in the future. While the word next Saturday
shows when the event is happen.
Do
not forget to practice the basic tenses, in order to help you in learning
English. And try to watch more English videos that explain about the tenses. So
you will understand more about the usage of the tenses.
Well,
I think it is enough for the tips. I will share the other tips in learning
English next time. And lastly, I hope that you learnt something and thank you for reading!
~See you~
