How to be Master of English

Let's check the causes why you difficult to be. Many people want to master but
4 causes why you difficult to master English:

The cause is the habit of Canada (sorry) ugly. If we speak reviews or, generally, we like to spin (not to the point), plus not structured, so that often we do not know which main subject, main verb, and so on. what relationship with the English language? Please read the following points!
When the cause of both is to use the English language, both via speaking and writing, we are the brain we usually into 2, the partition A to language B and a partition for the English language. First sentence is made in the first partition A, and then exported to the new partition B to be translated before finally expressed through speaking or writing.
The effect is a pattern or grammar that has been gravely trouble since learned to be forgotten because SMP partition B is too busy for translate word that is made in the partition A. Because they talk not structured, partition B to become a headache in the translation. As a result, the partition B often hangs (jammed), and no output is produced. If the partition is successfully removing the B output, the output is generally far below the standard, will the ugly English. In addition, opponents to speak often are eaten mosquitoes already asleep because wait and see.
Motivation is the third cause of that is not consistent. The motivation for student who learns English, Generally, they want to get a good value. This means that only English would be the test of time, and after the test has finished a book settle somewhere.
The fourth is the method of learning English is less precise. If you rely only on power memorize, your English will not get better.

So what solution?

Use only the partition B (and forget the partition A). By using one partition, your grammar will not be contaminated by the structure of language that you are ugly (for example, if the ugly) and communication will become more smoothly because of the reduced red tape in your brain.
If you only have the structure of language and vocabularies that has been learned since junior high school we can actually communicate with the relaxed. Believe or not? If it does not believe, please make the list first! Grouping that you have to know in nouns, verbs, Adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, Prepositions, and articles, and total. Vocabs I am sure you are far above 1000.
You know what? With just over 1000 words, we actually can have communication with the smooth, good in school, at home, in the mall, in bars, or even in a dream. With a note, if you are a blind alley, just revise the kalimatnya with the words of others. Remember, when communication in the English language, just use what you've got and forget the language of India. You will taste the difference.

Keep your motivation high steadily.

With high motivation, you will feel enjoy (do not feel Forced) to spend time for hours to read or memorize grammar, a dictionary, and practice English. If you feel bored quickly, that means you do not have enough motivation high. If my first, just an example, motivation is very high because I want to free school abroad. Then, what motivated you learn English?

Because the English language is very complex, of course, takes time to learn. Many of our friends give up in the middle of the road because of less sabaran, too want to ARRIVE at the finish line in a short time. My advice, do not be too ambisious to touch the finish line in a very short time. This will create a foundation other than the grammar you're not strong, but also can break your motivation. Rileks course, sooner or later you will ARRIVE there.

Use good learning media that fit you.

Learn the appropriate media depending on the character and lifestyle there. Media that are appropriate for other people not necessarily right for you, as well as vice versa. Next is the media that you can try:

1. Do not use the dictionary only contain the word meaning only (ie can be =, month = month, = plough plow, ect). Why? Sentence-sentence because you make a wrong. Try to note the following example 3, the likely result of such a dictionary:

* You must do (you should be)
* The month goes round the earth (earth orbit month)
* Three people ploughed the Airplane (three people hijack the plane).

2. If you like to listen to songs west then keep doing so, and if you can not nangkap its lirycs, search the internet. Here are the benefits of listening to songs in English:

* Can improve your listening skills.
* Be able to know how a certain word is pronounced.
* Can help you build vocabs, because the words in the song longer cling in your memory (especially the song-love theme song).
* Can help remembering patterns tertetu sentence. For example, songs from the Corrs, entitled "What can I do" you can make a reference about the use of capital can in a sentence; pattern of what you get from "It must've been love" by Rosette this?
* When you bersedandung in the small bathroom, you practice speaking, form a pattern, etc. ..

3. If you like watching DVDs, then watch DVD movies. Sub-title of the DVD movies will help you how particular words be vocalized. Select the most good movies you so you do not feel bored for mutarnya again.

4. Use the chat, email, or whatever that uses English.

5. Visit http://swarabhaskara.byethost11.com. Blog contains grammar written in bilangual.

Practice makes perfect.

Can be as usual, the moment diligent in the broad sense, to do ordinary course, not only dream of doing (dreaming). If you are shy to practice by speaking, so listen, or reading. Among them that you are still shy, so please practice by writing. This solution and a wide right. Stop Dreaming Start Action in English is a must.
