Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Be confident. People can only correct your mistakes when they hear you make them.
Surround yourself in English. Put yourself in an all English speaking environment where you can learn passively. The best way to learn is through speaking.
Practice the 4 core skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening. They all need to be worked on for you to improve.
Create an atmosphere in which you want to learn, not because you have to. You’ll learn more when you’re learning because you want to.
Review! Review! Review! Make sure that you take the time to review things you have studied in the past.
Don’t be in such a hurry to move up a level. Concentrate on the level you are at now.
Watch DVDs or Netflix rather than TV. It’s better to use something that you can watch over again to catch information you might have missed the first time.
Use post-it notes and stick them around your home. You can use them to label things. Stick one on your pet dog!
Use English whenever you can. It’s as simple as that!
