Effective Way To Learn English

By Mark Spolsky


To learn English most effectively, students must focus first on English conversation. In other words, students should first master the spoken language before they attempt to master the written language.

Too many learners attempt to do the opposite. They learn English with their eyes, using textbooks, grammar books, and classroom lectures as their primary means of study.

Learners must spend most of their time listening to easy and understandable English conversation in order to master the spoken language. To be fluent in English, to speak like a native speaker, and to develop a clear accent, students must follow this method and listen to English conversation during 80% or more of their study time.

Just listening is not enough - students must use a particular system of listening. First, they must listen to "easy" English. This means that learners should listen to material that they mostly understand. The general rule is that the student should understand 95% of what they hear.

To accelerate learning process students must also have a lot of repetitions. This factor is called "deep listening". By listening to the same material many times, learners absorb the language into their subconscious. Therefore, they are able to understand the material, and use it, instantly and effortlessly. Deep listening for two hours a day will be sufficient for most students to achieve English fluency really fast.

Finally, students must learn English with real English materials, English that is used everyday in conversations, books, movies, TV shows, comic books, audio books, articles, newspapers, magazines, and podcasts. If they want to understand native speakers, they must stop learning English from textbook, tapes and CDs. Native speakers use idioms, slang, and many casual phrases. Therefore, these components are vital for understanding and effective communication with them.

I came to the conclusion that learning with natural English conversations is the most effective way to achieve language fluency.
