How to Learn English Effectively: Tips and Tricks

When I was learning English, I couldn't imagine how it would be. Only with time did I realise that learning a language is a far more different experience than, say, maths. I think it's a much more unconscious process than many of us suppose. On my way, I've gathered some tips that have helped me, and I want to share them with you.

Make it Fun
A popular myth about language learning is that it is mundane. I used to also think like that until I realised that I enjoy the learning process. Crafting a good learning strategy is the best way to find joy in learning. To do this, you should delve into different topics, speak with other learners, find reliable textbooks, and so on. When you figure out which learning activities you need, you'll be able to pick and choose the ones which you enjoy the most.

For example, I'm a bookworm, so I try to integrate reading into all my learning activities. This includes reading subtitles, trying to find amusing books, browsing through newspapers, and noting down tricky words. I stopped worrying about memorising words, articles, and gerunds. It became more important for me to maintain just a positive attitude and keep going.

Mix Different Activities
Admittedly, even your favourite learning activity may become dull if you do it for too long. How do you deal with this? Well, mix it up a little. You don't just have to read; you can also listen, speak and write. This way, you will stay interested in learning this language for a long time.

Here's an example from my experience. I concentrated on reading in my target language and did nothing else for an entire week. At one point, I switched activities and opened a grammar book. Could you imagine my surprise when I discovered that I enjoyed doing grammar exercises? I was tired from all that reading and needed to do something else. If you think that you're the type of person that hates grammar, try doing what I did.

Don't Gloss Over Details
Peculiarities are everywhere when you consume content in your target language. The problem is that we rarely notice these details. Articles, sentence construction, a speaker's intonation, or the register of a text are just some examples of details we don't always pay attention to. We like to watch shows and read books without focusing on them too much. Nevertheless, it's crucial to stop and pay attention to the small things from time to time.

Let's say you're reading a book. Try to read it slowly, look up unknown words and phrases, and think about the sentence's structure. This type of reading may be exhausting, but it familiarises you with the language.

Ask for Feedback
It's hard to analyse your progress if you are learning a language alone. Often we cannot know if we have learned something without consulting someone. Whenever I study flashcards, write a post, or read a book, I hope that it will help me make progress. However, sometimes hoping alone is not enough for me to keep going.

In this case, feedback from others may help. I get feedback from my tutor and online editors, but you can try other options. For instance, you can check out an online language-learning platform, find a language buddy, or work with a professional tutor. It's up to you.

Take Breaks
Language learning isn't all fun and games; it's an intense activity that drains energy. Even if you can devote all your time to learning a language, it doesn't mean you should. Language learning is a long-term process, and we shouldn't overwhelm ourselves. So keep calm and take breaks. You will learn the language eventually. The more motivated and positive you are, the sooner you will achieve your goals.

How to learn English effectively: tips and tricks

When I first started to learn the English language, I couldn't imagine howwhat it would be like.

'Learn English' is more natural than 'learn the English language'.

Only with time did I realise that learning a language is a far more different experience than, tofrom, say, learning maths.

I think it's a much more unconscious and mysterious process than many of us suppose.

'Mysterious' sounds a bit strange in this context. It's more often used to describe something totally unknown or strange (a mysterious man, a mysterious sound that came out of nowhere...)

Over time, II've gathered some tips that have helped me on my way, and I want to share them with you.

Stylistically, it's better to omit phrases like 'over time' and 'on my way' when the meaning of your sentence is already clear.

Keep the process entertaining

'Make it fun' would sound more natural here, but what you wrote is okay too.

One of theA popular myths about language learning is that it is mundane work that has nothing to do with entertainment.

'Mundane' already means lacking in excitement or entertainment, so best not to repeat yourself.

I also used to think like this, until I realisinged that I enjoyed the learning process.

Admittedly, bBuilding thea learning strategy that works for you is the best way to get pleasure from learning.

To do this, you should dig into the different topics, speak withto other learners, find correctgood textbooks, understand learning steps (?), and so on.

'Correct' = truthful, like 1+1=2. 'Good' = of good quality
'Understand learning steps' is a bit vague.

WhenOnce you figure out which learning activities you need, you'll be able to mix thempick and choose the ones which you enjoy the most.

Let's take an example.

I'm a fan of reading, andso I try to connect all my learning activities with reading.

ItThis includes reading subtitles, trying to find the most amusing books, shufflflicking through newspapers, and catchingnoting down tricky words.

'Shuffling through' means looking for something in a group of things ('he shuffled through the papers on his desk but couldn't find the document') . 'Flicking through' means taking a quick read, which is presumably what you mean here.

When I started to associate learning with pleasure from content, I began to perceive learning not as a formidable conundrum, but as a fascinating toy.

I like your creativity, but I'm not sure the metaphor works here! I'd probably get rid of this sentence.

I stopped worrying too much about memorising words, articles and gerunds.

Mix different activities

It begancame more important for me to preserve mykeep a positive attitude and just keep going.

Admittedly, even theyour favourite learning activity may become a dull task if you do it for too long.

How to resolve this problemdo you deal with this?

Mix different thingsit up a little.

You need not only to read, butdon't just have to read; you can also listen, watch and write.

This way, the language will stay interesting even if you learn it for a long time.

ThHere's an example from my experience.

I primarily concentrated on reading in my target language and did nothing else for a onn entire week.

'Primarily' is superfluous

At a certain moment, I decided to switched activities and opened thea grammar book.

Can you imagine my wondersurprise when I discovered that I enjoy to makeactually enjoyed doing grammar exercises?

I didn't understand thatClearly, I was tired from all that reading and needed to do something else.

If you think that rarely who can enjoy learning grammar, try to repeat my experience by yourselfyou're the type of person that hates grammar, try doing what I did.

The problem is that we rarely notice these details.

CatchDon't gloss over details

'Gloss over details' is a nice expression to know :)

Details are everywhere when you consume the content in your target language.

The aArticles, thsentence construction of the sentences, the intonation of a speakers, a speaker's intonation, or the register of thea text are just go through our mind and don't hook theresome examples of details we don't always pay attention to.

Nevertheless, it's crucially important to stop and pay attention to small things from time to time.

Let's say you're reading a book.

We watch or read appealing show or book and don'like watching shows or reading books without focusing too much.

Try to stop and read it more slowly, check the articles and confusing phrases, look up unknown words in the dictionaryand phrases, and think more about athe structure of sentences you've never seen before.

You'll have noticed by now that a theme in my corrections is being more concise :).
Often, being more concise = sounding more natural.

Ask for feedback

This type of reading may be exhausting, but it helps you to get more familiar with the language and get some gut feeling about itfamiliarises you with the language.

It's true that it's hard to read or watch at this pace all the time, but it would be great if you'll do this at least for some time daily.

I would get rid of this sentence as you've already made your point.

It's hard to analyse your progress if you are learn youring a language aloneon your own.

In this case, feedback from others may help.

Often we cannot clearly say do wwhether we have learned something.

I get feedback from my tutor and online editors, but you can try other options.

Every time when I study flashcards, write a post, or read a book, I hope that it will help me to make sommake progress.

Honestlywever, sometimes this hope is not enough for me to keep going.

It's up to you.

For instance, you can check someout an online platforms for learnersnguage learning platform, find a language buddy, or work with a professional tutors.

MTake pausebreaks

'Make pauses' doesn't sound very natural.

Language learning is a long-term process and we shouldn't overwhelm ourselves.

Language learning is not only fun and entertainmentn't all fun and games; it's an intense activity that soakdrains energy.

'Fun and games' is a commonly used expression.

Even if you can devote all your time to learning a language, thait doesn't mean you should.

So keep calm and mtake pausebreaks.

You will learn the language sooner or later.

The thing is, the more motivated and positive you are, the better the chances yousooner you will achieve your goal sooners.

'The better the chances you achieve your goal sooner' is awkwardly phrased.

Feedback

Well done - you seem to have a solid grasp of English grammar and your writing is very understandable.
One thing I suggest you work on is being more concise. Try not to repeat yourself too much and look out for redundant words or phrases. Good luck!

Particularities areThere are idiosyncrasies everywhere when you consume content in your target language.

I don't think I've seen someone use the word "particularities". If you want to use a shorter word that makes this sentence flow into the next, just saying "there are interesting details everywhere" would work.

Articles, sentence construction, a speaker's intonation, or the register of a text are just some examples of details we don't always heednotice (alternatively, you could say "we don't always pay attention to)".

"Heed" is for advice.

We like to watching shows and reading books without focusing on them too much.

I would advise you to look up a guide on infinitives vs. gerunds (to + base form of verb vs. the base verb form+ing)

Nevertheless, it's crucial to stop and pay attention to the small things from time to time.

Often, we cannot know if we have learned something without consultationing someone else.

However, sometimes this hophoping alone is not enough for me to keep going.
