When learning the English language, immerse every aspect of your daily life with the language itself. Listen to English television and radio. Purchase English language magazines and cut out advertisements that are appealing to you. Hang the advertisements around your living space to have constant visuals of the English language. Create a music playlist of English language music and listen to it while driving or exercising. By using these additional efforts to surround yourself with the English language, you can foster your success with learning English.
With the complexities and complications of the English language such as tenses, spelling and grammar rules, listening to native English speakers as much as possible provides the opportunity to hear how the language is used in everyday speech. The benefit of using this English language learning method is that you can not only gain more exposure to the English language, you can also become familiar with the slang or jargon of the language. This opportunity can be a great help when you are trying to communicate with native English speakers.
Along with immersing yourself in the English language and listening to native speakers, another step in practicing supplemental English language learning methods is for you to speak English whenever possible. Though it can be uncomfortable to speak English if you are unsure about how to properly express what you are trying to say, openly speaking English can allow you the chance to learn where you are making mistakes through the corrections of others.
Understand what your abilities are in English by recording yourself reading an English language text. When listening back to your English speaking abilities on the recording, you can analyze where your strengths and weaknesses are as far as pronunciation. A benefit of practicing this English language learning method is that you can track your progress by keeping the recordings for review.
