1. Engage regularly.
Enough time off from school. Only with constant uniform load your brain will absorb all the knowledge. Some students believe that enough work out 1-2 months, remember the basics of English and you can no longer worry. This is the wrong approach. No matter how intense and "ultramodern" were not busy, a month after you begin to slowly forget the grammar. So, if you want to get a good result, to deal with constantly, improve, develop, communicate with English-speaking friends, watch foreign news and movies, read authentic literature. Drop the idea of "pay someone to write my dissertation for me".
2. Load when training should meet your needs.
Intensive English courses by Skype appropriate place for those who urgently need to prepare for an interview, visit, business negotiations. The rest of it is contraindicated! You get much more benefit from 15 hours per month, rather than 15 hours per week. Everything and so is moving too fast, we are in a hurry, in a hurry. Let the brain rest: teach a foreign language in a calm pace suitable for you. Ignore the neighbor Lucy, which thanks to the new "Hollywood" method has mastered the basics of the language in two 3-hour lesson. Imagine what a mess in my head at this very Lucy, and a week later she did forget his "basics"! We set up a long-term effect?
3. When training using all available methods: Skype, movies, videos, songs, books, you need to pay attention to all five aspects of language learning: Grammar (grammar), Speaking (speaking), Reading (Reading), Writing (writing), Listening ( listening). An integrated approach is justified not only in the financial analysis, but also in learning English. In addition, you will be bored to do.
4. Communicate with the teacher.
Yes, it really is an important point. As a rule, new words and expressions are best stored in the context, rather than a simple "cramming." Our online tutors, teaching conversational English on Skype, used this approach for several years now, believe me, it is completely justified. In addition, the teacher will encourage you to frequent use of new words in the speech, which helps to improve memory and facilitates the rapid memorization.
5. Overcoming the psychological barrier, the motivation to learn.
One of the secrets of life is to keep our intellectual curiosity acute. One of the secrets of life is not to let the fire die out of our curiosity. Edward Phelps and again dive into the depths of psychology: think about it, maybe you do not can not, and do not want to teach English? Maybe you do, "because all learn English," or something to do? Alas, the lack of motivation by the exploits are not inspiring. We will not read your sermons and talk about the benefits of studying English. Typically, such notation does not inspire and irritate people. But before you give up teaching and go ballroom dancing, try a different approach. Think about what you really carries what topics you would like to explore. Are you interested to know what they sing Nickelback and AC / DC? Or feel the feelings that torment of Dorian Gray? Believe me, even the best translation does not give you the emotions that the author wanted to convey. Ask the teacher to adjust the course so that classes were exciting for you to have your curiosity drove laziness and indifference.
