Key Elements for Learning English

Blog

Active Listening

English has a much wider variety of vowel sounds than Spanish, which can be challenging. Therefore, developing active listening skills is crucial. Watching TV shows and movies in English from an early age is very beneficial, but it’s never too late to start. It’s also helpful to listen to music or audios in English and repeat aloud to improve pronunciation. The assistance of a native speaker can significantly speed up this process.

Developing Memory

Memory is crucial for learning English due to the numerous exceptions and grammatical rules. Techniques like repetition, idea association, and mnemonics can significantly improve retention and recall. Creating and reviewing vocabulary lists regularly is a very effective strategy for expanding language knowledge. Learning three new words a day can lead to mastering a thousand words in a year, which is an achievable and highly beneficial goal.

Motivation

Motivation is a decisive factor in learning English. It’s essential to have clear and personal reasons for studying the language, whether for career advancement, enjoying tourism, personal growth, or the pleasure of communicating in English. Without strong motivation, it’s easy to skip classes and not practice at home. Setting specific goals and objectives helps maintain motivation and measure progress.
