Here are some frequently asked questions about learning English solo.
In addition to an English course that allows personalized study, to learn English solo you need to be disciplined and focused on your studies to achieve your goals. Here are four tips to help you get there!
Tip 1: Have a study routine
Routine is everything for anyone who wants to start studying new languages. Most learners start excited but slow down as time goes by. That's why creating a study routine that fits in with your day-to-day life is important. The focus is not so much on the amount of time you spend doing your exercises and classes each day, but on how often you do them during the week. Of course, those who have more time per day will progress faster, but the important thing here is consistency.
Tip 2: Change your phone's language to English
This is a golden tip for anyone who can't keep their hands off their cell phone. By changing the language of the devices and applications you use, you expand your vocabulary and become familiar with English in your daily life, while browsing social networks or doing other tasks.
Tip 3: Watch movies and TV series with subtitles
Learning English often means leaving your comfort zone. And that includes one of the most frequently listed tips on the internet (the one we endorse the most): watching movies and TV series in English. Yes, it can be tiring at first, but believe us, consuming content in the original language will transform your English, especially if you're already at an intermediate level and struggling to advance. The first step is to start watching with your native language subtitles then, as you get more comfortable, try switching to English subtitles until you can turn them off completely!
Tip 4: Bring English into your everyday life
Another tip that will change your routine but is essential for anyone who wants to get ahead in their studies. Try using English for simple activities, such as making your daily to-do list. By using the language in everyday situations, you become even more involved in the language and improve your fluency more naturally.
Remember that here at EF English Live we offer online English courses with resources and teaching materials , accessible on smartphones, tablets, or computers. Our timetables are also flexible, with teachers online 24 hours a day, allowing you to easily fit our school into your schedule. You can enjoy your study time from anywhere, anytime.
There is no magic formula! The speed at which you learn English depends on two important things: your current level and your skill at learning languages. But there are a few things you can do to make the process a little more dynamic.
Don't be so dependent on the dictionary: It's common for learners to turn to dictionaries and the Internet to understand words in English, but this can slow down your reading and leave you feeling insecure about reading without a dictionary by your side. We teach our learners that it's interesting to try to understand the meaning of words from the context. Although it may seem challenging at first (especially for beginners), with time it becomes more natural (you certainly do it in your native language too).
Understanding grammar is fundamental: Understanding the grammar rules of the English language is an essential step towards developing your reading and writing skills. Learners at a basic level may face difficulties in the future if they don't learn how the English language is structured first. It is important that you become comfortable with the way things work in the language before moving on to the next stages.
Explore music, movies, and TV series in English: Studying your favorite English songs is an excellent way to practice listening. You can follow the lyrics if you're not sure about certain words and even explore artists of different styles and different accents, guaranteeing fun while you learn! Watching movies and series in English follows the same logic.
Use podcasts and YouTube videos to practice: How about practicing listening in less-than-ideal conditions? While films, TV series, and music offer quality audio, YouTube videos, and podcasts in English don't always have the clearest or simplest audio, providing an extra exercise for learners. Look for programs on topics that interest you and make an effort to understand as much of the content as possible.
Practice with English speakers: How about organizing a special day with friends interested in practicing the language, where you commit to speaking exclusively in English? The tip here is to use different ways of communicating to practice, whether on the phone, via chat, or even live. It's an opportunity to improve your conversation skills with the support of people you know and share common interests with.
After passing the basic and intermediate levels, conversational English becomes a common challenge for those learning the language on their own. Although learners already feel confident reading a complex text and have good listening comprehension, many don't feel comfortable speaking. Here are three essential tips for overcoming this obstacle!
Talk to yourself in English
Improving your English conversation skills takes practice. However, many learners are afraid of making mistakes and feel embarrassed when speaking. One way to overcome this is to talk to yourself when you're alone at home. By talking out loud about your day, future plans, or something you watched, you not only practice your pronunciation but also your line of thought (the famous "thinking in English").
2. Practice pronouncing the words that seem most difficult
Some phonemes can be more challenging, as the pronunciation rules are quite different. However, practice and constant exposure to the language are essential. Don't know how to pronounce a certain word correctly? You can use virtual dictionaries or, if you're one of our learners, you can book an online English class with one of our certified teachers to practice the ones you find most difficult.
3. Don't worry about your accent
Many advanced English learners worry about speaking without sounding like they have an accent. But that's practically impossible, and it's okay! Having an accent is perfectly normal and won't be an obstacle to communicating with native speakers in the future. Just like in your native language, accents are part of linguistic diversity and should be respected.
