Familiarize yourself with the Pumarosa website. The lessons in various stages of English expertise are set out logically on the home page and include beginner levels and intermediate levels.
Start from the beginning with the beginner level lessons. Even if you have some English experience, starting at the beginning will help you to become familiar with the Pumarosa teaching method while not having to concentrate on learning at the same time.
Progress logically through the lessons. Learn the vocabulary as taught in the learning sections by clicking on each sentence or word, listening then repeating what you hear. Move on to complete the exercises in the same section to practice what you just learned.
Take your time. Although the lessons may seem simple, retaining the knowledge may take you a few repetitions of each lesson. Never be afraid to go back and repeat a previous lesson if you come to one that seems difficult.
Buy a copy of the Pumarosa student workbook. The workbook contains 300 pages of written exercises, with a bilingual dictionary and pronunciation guide. The workbook costs about $60 as of 2011, and accompanies the beginners level on the Pumarosa website. Purchasing the workbook is not necessary as the website is comprehensive in lessons and examples.
