Is it tell or English is a very funny language and I hated it because a it is not my mother tongue and b I was scared of it .
So today , I'm going to tell you how a kid who was scared of speaking English , even in front of her friends went on to representing India at via in an English Public Union competition .
Trust me , it's not that difficult .
Now , there are four ways to learn English .
One is by listening and fourth is by speaking .
Today .
I'm going to tell you how these four methods have helped me learning it .
Number one reading .
Now , the first book that I started reading voluntarily was called Tinker .
Just look at these colorful comic characters reading .
This is so much fun .
Thank God for tinkle .
Otherwise I would not have started reading at all .
Now , after tinkle , I picked up a couple of simple books that easy to read .
Like um goosebumps .
Nancy D Hardy Boys .
They use simple English , plus they are mystery novels .
So you cannot put them down because you want to know what happens in this .
This is a great way to learn or read English because this ensure that you do not put a full stop while your reading journey .
Now , if you don't want to read books , then just pick up a newspaper and start reading it every day of the headlines and then move on to reading the entire article .
Now , the second way to learn English is by listening and this is the best part in my college .
Everybody started watching friends and I started watching it too because I had a feeling in the conversation and that became their human prepossessing Homo Sapiens .
There was just one problem I could not understand what they were saying .
But thanks for technology , we have subtitles and that became their human prepossessing Homo Sapiens .
You just make it easier now that you are listening , you are learning how to form sentences and you're learning the pronunciations as well .
If you want to start watching TV series , I would recommend the classics , which is friends .
How I met your mother .
Big Bang theory .
You can also watch movies with subtitles .
I would recommend uh Finding Me Wally Shahan Red .
I First Year of Happiness , Harry Potter series , uh Star Wars uh Jungle book , basically pick a movie that is a not boring and B according to your current English levels because don't pick up uh Romeo and Juliet right away because that Shakespeare in English is difficult to understand even for export .
Number three right now , writing is an excellent way to learn English .
Here are a few things that you can do to begin writing .
Number one , after watching those movies that we've just discussed , go to youtube , find that movie trailer and comment and tell them in 2 to 3 sentences , how and why you have like the movie or did you like it ?
And number two , you use whatsapp , right ?
So whenever you send a message , please use full sentences .
For example , you can be , where are you ?
We can plan , can be .
What are your plans this weekend ID , you tell me can be , I don't know yet .
What about you ?
And number four speak now speaking in English is the scariest thing to do , but we have to do it .
So yeah , we think that you can speak in English confidently .
Number one , while you're watching the series , uh try repeating those dialogues in front of a mirror .
Whenever you all look , I used to repeat dialogue from friends all the time .
For example , you have rambled on for 18 pages .
Number two , hang out with people who do not have the same because if I hang out with my friends , I will only speak in Heba .
But if my group has someone from up Karnataka Chennai , then all of us have to speak in English .
And that is how we learn together .
And number three join a public speaking club .
I know it is scary to speak in English first , forget public speaking in English .
But trust me , once you speak in English on a stage , even in front of 4 to 8 people , then you will get over your fear of speaking in English once and for all .
And that's all it takes to learn English .
I did not join any spoken English classes because I truly believe that nobody can teach you how to speak in English .
In this 30 years only you can teach your yourself how to speak in English by practicing it every day .
I'll make more videos on communication and interpersonal skills .
So make sure you subscribe to my channel and hit that well .
But before you go , here's your first English assignment .
Comment below and let me know in 2 to 3 sentences .
Which method will you start using first ?
And why don't worry about grammar .
Don't worry about punctuation , just write because that is how we'll start learning .
I will be waiting to give you comment .
I will see you again next week until then keep fighting the urban fight to be fed .
