English is taught as a second language in most countries around the world but many students struggle with it.
Students who learn English as a foreign language at school don’t always reach a good level in the language, and many want to improve their English.
You can learn to speak English at any age. Thanks to ESOL courses and regularly working with your English tutor, anyone, regardless of their age, can learn English as a second language in a short amount of time.
Hard work. Practising English daily, focusing on learning new words, watching English or American films, listening to music, reading in English, finding an English-speaking penpal, etc. There are plenty of fun ways to learn how to speak English. There’s more to it than just studying grammar and learning irregular verbs off by heart.
If you want to learn how to speak English fluently (or even become bilingual in English), taking ESOL courses or English classes with a private tutor can really help. As a linguistic coach, your ESOL tutor will help and guide you on your journey. They’ll help you learn the basics before moving onto the more advanced concepts.
There are plenty of different resources for improving your English: books, dictionaries, English games, mobile apps with voice recognition, websites for learning English, etc.
Make sure you make the most of all the different types of resources so you can train your ears to the sound of English, improve your speaking, work on your writing, and practise reading.
You can also expand your English vocabulary, learn new words and expressions, and get to grips with speaking in English.
If you have the opportunity, you should go to an English-speaking country and immerse yourself in the language. Travelling to an English-speaking country is a quick way to learn the language.
It’s great for improving your accent, intonation, and pronunciation. You’ll also have to choose whether you want to learn British English or American English first.
Whether a beginner, intermediate, advanced, or fluent, you can find tutors for any level of English.
