English Learning tips

Have desire -- Want to learn a new language. Learning English requires a lot of study and dedication. Only true desire will keep motivated.
Know your motive -- Why do you want to learn English? Is it to help you in school, your business or something else? Identify your reason and remember it when you are having a hard time.
Set goals -- Set goals for yourself whether it be learning twenty words a week or giving a presentation in English at work next month. Goals will keep you motivated.
Study a little each day -- Studying formally for atleast 30-60 minutes a day will help you retain what you learn. At the begining of each study session, review what you learned in the lesson before.
Make a set study schedule -- Set aside a specific time for study each day. That way you are less likely to skip your lessons.
Study out loud -- Pronounce the words out loud to yourself as you study. You will remember them more easily and you will be able to practice your pronounciation at the same time.
Use different learning methods -- Language can be learned through different activities such as speaking, reading, writing, and use a variety of other methods for practice.
Practice speaking -- Practice the language you have leaned as much as possible.
Don't be afraid -- Never be afraid to try speaking to other people even if you don't know everything. They will appreciate your efforts.
Surround Yourself -- Surround yourself with English. Read it, listen to it, watch it and speak it with others.
