How To Learn English Effectively
Have you ever tried to study English, but it turned out it’s too difficult for you? Well, let me tell you that the language is easy once you keep in mind these golden rules:
▲ Always study and review phrases, not individual words.
Did somebody give you a dictionary when you started learning your native language as a child? No? Then why do you keep using it when studying a foreign language? Memorizing individual words has absolutely no sense without the context. 1.
▲ Don’t study grammar.
When you start thinking 
about what construction to use, you begin to stammer, stop sounding natural. Your responses should become automatic to master the language, so instead of studying theory – take more practice! When you speak, you don't have time for considering what tense is appropriate, one hundred percent correct. 2. Grammar is important in writing, not in speaking.
▲3.
One of the most common mistakes when studying a foreign language is relying solely on textbooks. Thanks to them you may know a lot of grammar and vocabulary, but you're still not capable of conducting a conversation. It is because you should learn English by listening and not by reading. If you listen more, you'll grasp useful vocabulary and grammar without even realizing it and without memorizing!
▲ Learn English deeply.
Remember it's always about quality, not about quantity. 4. When memorizing the phrases (remember the first rule!) slowly, you put them into the deeper parts of your brain so they don't fade away quickly.
▲ Listen and answer, not listen and repeat.
5.If you practice listening with a podcast or a video, pause it every 20 – 30 second and summarize what has been said. You have to think quickly, so you stop bothering yourself with useless grammar and start to speak the real, living language!
A. Studying grammar is the quickest way to slow down your progress.
B. Instead of learning dozens of new words in a short time, try repeating one, but dozens of times.
C. But you don't need to think about that.
D. Learning whole phrases is much more effective.
E. You should answer the questions asked by the speaker instead of mindlessly retelling his words.
F. Use only authentic English materials.
G. Learn with your ears, not with your eyes.
