What do you think if I tell
you that going to classes are not enough? In order to overcome that invisible
barrier of language. I will give you my secret, because is not your school's
fault, we always need more in order to be successful.
I had been living for the
past 7 months in EF NY, Tarrytown, New York, EEUU. The classes are really
interesting and challenging but if I want to improve my English level is up to
me, to work a little extra to achieve my goal.
-.-Tips
1.-. Study hard. Just go to
class is not enough believe me, is up to you work hard to full-field the
English level that you want
2.-. Watch English TV
without subtitles. Sounds really weird but is true, it helps me a lot, movies
that at the beginning I didn't understand because my listening wasn't good
enough but after practicing with something that I like my listening improve a
lot and it means that now I don't have any problem to understand movies. A big
part of English is listening and in order to improve it this is a fun way.
3.-. Find Friends. One of my
dear friends here told me one day that for us (students from different
countries together in another as a foreigner students) is really easy to have
friends because we all came in the same "condition" alone and with
some fears. We can connect with each other in a way that is deeper and
truthful. So, take advantage of those opportunities and talk your English out.
Work it! Your English is waiting for you to be used.
4.-. Think, Talk and Write
in English. Sounds really hard and in my experience I'll tell you, the hardest part
is think in English but the Speaking part as I wrote before is up to you. Don't
get desperate you'll make it but you need at the beginning be confident and force
yourself to do it.
5.-. Talk to Native English
Speakers. In mi case it helps me a lot in my School I had been lucky, my
teachers and staff are really friendly and talking to them is always something
that I enjoy and at the same time if I have some mistake speaking they always
with a smile and good intentions correct me.
This kind of actions helped me a lot to
develop my English Skills here in USA for my First 7 months in USA.
