AEE 138: Ana Luiza from Ingles Online Gives You 3 Tips to Learn English Without Traveling Abroad

Do you ever feel frustrated because you can’t travel to an
English-speaking country to learn English? Today we have Ana Luiza
from Ingles Online. She is going to offer you three tips to make it
work from home.   3 Ways to Learn English from Home: Don’t
only read, start with audio: Don’t invest too much time in just
reading if you don’t know the sounds of English. It’s common for
people to start with just reading but they don’t use the audio to
go with what they are reading. These students end up having strange
pronunciation because they use the sounds of their native language.
If you do this, it will be a huge waste of time. Listen to things
that you understand: Start with English audio that you understand
but can’t use quite yet. Don’t focus your time on English that you
don’t understand. Once you understand something once, you need to
see it again and again and review it. You need to see it used in
different contexts and see it being used by different people. It
takes time to acquire the language. It’s a process. Don’t jump
ahead and skip over words that you think you already know. Start
small: If you are busy and don’t have a lot of time consume English
in small chunks. Fifteen minutes a day is great. Take small
steps. Listen to English while you are doing something else like
cooking. Ana Luiza has shown us that it is possible to get better
at English even if you can’t travel to an English-speaking country.
