Learning English requires action

Learning English requires action. You may know all the learning tips, but if you don't start doing things, you will achieve nothing. The fact is, if you want to learn to speak English well, you must make a change in your everyday life. You may have to find yourself doing following things in the coming days of your life:

*read a book in English for an hour every day, analyzing the grammar in sentences and looking up words in an English dictionary

*listen to an audiobook or other recording in English, stopping it frequently, trying to understand what is being said, and trying to imitate the speaker's pronunciation

*spend one of your weekend afternoon practicing the pronunciation of the English "r" sound

*carefully write an e-mail message in English, using a dictionary or a Web search every 20 seconds to make sure every word is correct, and taking 5 minutes to write one sentence

*think about an English sentence you've read, wondering if it could say "a" instead of "the" in the sentence, and trying to find similar sentences on the Web to find out the answer

*walk down the street and build simple English sentences in your head (talking to yourself in English about the things you see around you)

What kind of person would do all these crazy things? Only one kind. The kind of person who enjoys doing them. If you want to learn to speak English well, you're going to have to become that person. You cannot hate doing these things. Have you ever heard of a person who became successful by doing something he hated?

There are also people who are too lazy to do anything that is useful to them. For example, they simply click mouse to quote the comments made by the others after they read a post. They hardly want to put their fingers on the keyboard. There're also readers who know they have problems write correct words or sentences but still don't care for using dictionaries or the other means to make things right. If they don't change, there's no way they are going to be any good at English
