Preparation
Reading text
Many studies about language learning ask the question: What makes a good language learner? There are some things that good language learners do and some things they don't do. Here are some of the most useful suggestions from studies.
- Don't be afraid of making mistakes. People often get things wrong. Good language learners notice their mistakes and learn from them.
- Do group activities. People use language to communicate with other people. A good language learner always looks for opportunities to talk with other students.
- Make notes during every class. Notes help you to remember new language. Look at your notes when you do your homework.
- Use a dictionary. Good language learners often use dictionaries to check the meaning of words they don't know. They also make their own vocabulary lists.
- Think in the language you're learning outside the classroom. When you're shopping or walking down the street, remember useful words and phrases. Sometimes, when you're at home, say new words to practise your pronunciation.
- Do extra practice. Test and improve your language, reading and listening skills with self-study material. You can find a lot of this online.
- Imagine yourself speaking in the language. Many good language learners can see and hear themselves speaking in the language. This helps their motivation.
- Enjoy the process. Good language learners have fun with the language. Watch a TV series or film, listen to songs, play video games or read a book. It's never too late to become a good language learner.

Learning new language is always fun. I think vocabulary is the most important for learning English. If I have good occupy of vocabulary then I cold do very well in any language. Because if I know the word meaning then I cold understand everything in any language very quickly.

I prefer to read the famous persons' biographies these days. Before I tried a lot of methods. I was bored. I really bored when I starts read some english language documents. After I decided to read the evocatory english language articles. It was be simple for me reading skills. I sugest you. You should study in that way what you like to study. I and bewared and shied when I didn't join this website. I noticed everything. Actually we learn to writing make mistakes. It is very normal. We can do correct. After that I don worry in this respect. DO NOT WORRY, BE HAPPY:)
Best Regards.
