hello everyone how are you today is Marc. I'm an English teacher and coach from

Toronto Canada and I live in Rome since. I began teaching English in 1996

students have often asked me the same. question how can I learn English faster

and more efficiently the answer to that. question has been rolling around in my

head. for some time now I'll give you advice

on what not to do when learning English. first off don't translate word by word

from your own language try to figure out. the meaning by reading through the

sentence and then try to understand. it from the context if you don't know

how to say a certain word in English try. to explain it by using the vocabulary

you already know secondly don't give up. on your studies be constant never stop

learning research shows that if you give. up on your studies

you'll relegate your English to the back. of your mind it's like going to the gym

for a year and then taking a year off. when you return all your muscles will

hurt that's because you didn't work out for. a year so never give up thirdly don't be

shy when you speak English by gaining. confidence in the language you'll become

better at it if you are confident you. won't think about your grammar mistakes

when you speak to people in English they. understand you're learning the language

so don't worry nobody expects impeccable English from you so how about those

points are you actually using them I. hope so

now let's talk about what you should do. when learning English first try to

immerse yourself in the language what do. I mean by immerse

well let me tell you about my own. experience with Italian I moved to Italy

in 1997 for the first two months I had. 360 degree contact with the language and

I spoke Italian and not that much. my friends were Italians the environment

was Italian the air that I breathed was. Italian and the whole context was

Italian. well I've learnt Italian in two months I

was able to have a real conversation. with someone even making some mistakes

obviously I don't expect you to move to. the US or to Canada or to the UK or even

to Australia however you can recreate. your English learning environment but

how well for your listening. comprehension I suggest watching TV in

English by renting or buying movies or by. using the internet you can find movies

with English subtitles complete series. or TV programs even on YouTube you just

need to google English movies series. like the mist or friends or Sex and the

City all TV programs like 20/20 or. Dateline there is a myriad of links to

shows programs or movies in English I. would also recommend English podcasts

they are easy to get you just need to. subscribe to the ones you are most

interested in and again there are tons. of the English podcasts English grammar

podcasts English pronunciation podcasts. English vocabulary learning podcasts etc

when listening you don't need to pay. particular attention to what you're

worry about that much getting used to. the sound of English will definitely

help you improve your comprehension. skills this is particularly true if you

live in a context where every American. or British movie is dubbed

just like here in Italy so in order to. learn new vocabulary

I'm suggest reading a book you've always. wanted to read in your own language for

example a book that you'll enjoy when. you learn a language it is extremely

important you enjoy what you're doing. when reading it isn't important to look

up all the words you don't know it is. however important to try and understand

new words by context when an author. write a sophisticated word they usually

explain it in the successive sentences. likewise when an author uses this kind

of word once you'll often find it. repeated several times throughout the

rest of the book in this way by the time. you've got to the end of the book you

you will have found this several times. in context and you will have definitely

learned what it means I've seen students. translating in every single word they didn't

understand for long term retention this. has been proved to be ineffective after

few weeks of not actively using or reencounting the words they so meticulously

looked up in the dictionary they simply. forget them in order to use what you've

already learned I suggest going to. venues where foreigners usually hang out

try and meet new people they don't have. to be native English speakers they could

be from anywhere but your own country. tell them you're learning English and

you would like to practice what you've. learned talk about the weather the city

their or your life in general the. news anything you think will be

appropriate for that context meet new. friends online there are hundreds of

chat rooms for English students even. on Facebook there are millions of

English speaking groups just search for. them is that easy by now you know you

can either text or speak live with. anyone on the Internet

I suggest you always mention you're. learning English and you want to practise

there are many people who are learning. English and wish to practise with

someone traveling visit a place. outside your country anywhere you go

you'll find people who speak English by. traveling you can practise the English

you've learned firsthand try to put. yourself in situations where you have to

speak English in order to communicate in. this way you're forced to use what

you've learned I strongly suggest. travelling alone so that you don't speak

your own language and thus you speak only English if you live in a country where

English isn't the first language. I'd strongly such as attending English

lessons make it a habit. don't stop attending this will

definitely increase your level of. English and will maintain what you've

learnt so far well I hope you've found my. advice useful if you'd like to make a

comment or to post a question just do so. under this video don't forget to

friends they might even thank you for. thinking about them
