Your guide to learn English
How can you learn English
1.5 billion people speak English, making it the most spoken language worldwide. Learning English is essential for career growth, travel, networking, and communication.
You can learn English through self-study. This includes reading books and newspapers and noting new vocabulary. Aiming for conversational fluency, you can converse with native speakers, listen to podcasts, and watch movies. You can also use language apps to practice basic grammar and sentence structures.
However, verb tenses, phrasal verbs, slang, and idioms can be challenging for beginners. Pronunciations and accents can also hinder fluency. For example, some can confuse pronunciations in simple words like cough or tough where “gh” is pronounced as “f”.
Personalized English tutoring helps overcome such challenges and improves fluency by accelerating learning. Private English tutors can provide tailored lessons, real-time feedback, and guidance on vocabulary and grammar. They can also recommend books, movies, and apps suited to your needs.
With dedicated learning, you can achieve conversational fluency in 6-12 months.
You can also take certification exams like TOEFL, IELTS, or Cambridge, helping you assess your English reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills.
