Thanks to the knowledge of English, you can watch your favorite series at the time of their show, and not wait until they are translated and adapted to the Russian language.

The knowledge of the second language has advantages, and as a rule it is English, there are a lot and can be listed for a very long time. It is difficult to learn the language of Shakespeare even in England itself. But, everyone can comprehend the basics of a simple spoken language.

This is not needed by teachers and stuffy audiences. Thanks to modern methods, independent studying the English language is an exciting and interesting activity. And not as difficult as it seems at first glance.

Important: there are no people incapable of “languages”. Yes, someone can be given easier for someone, but it is more difficult for someone. The main thing is to learn how to correctly motivate and find a course of training that is suitable for this.

Of course, if English is needed not to watch TV shows and reading your favorite blog, but for more serious tasks, then an independent study is unlikely to help. We'll have to attend special, narrowly focused courses. But, and you can reach them, starting with an independent study.

But, such communication has a number of shortcomings:

• such classes cost money
• you need to adapt to the schedule
• when skipping one lesson, you can be very behind

It is unnecessary to try to remember a lot of words at once. At first, the new information will be easily given. Then, new words will be remembered easily, and the old ones can be forgotten. In order for this not to happen, it is necessary to pay more attention to the consolidation of new material.

How easy it is to learn English: a technique for teaching English?

There are quite a few methods of studying this foreign language. The most popular are:

• The method of Dmitry Petrov. The well-known polyglot in our country invented its methodology and a way of presenting information that fits in 16 classes. Probably, many who were interested in the study of English saw a series of television programs in which Dmitry taught famous people. Thanks to this technique, you can quickly immerse yourself in the language environment and understand the grammar
• Method "16". Another technique that allows you to learn the basics of English in just 16 hours. It is built on teaching dialogs, having mastered which you can understand the English language
• Shechter method. This system of studying the English language was developed by the famous Soviet linguist Igor Yuryevich Shechter. Unfortunately, this technique cannot be used to independently study a foreign language. Moreover, the linguist teacher, who will be allowed to train, must undergo special training by this technique and pass the exam
• Dragunkin's method. The popular English language teaching methodology in our country, which was developed by the famous philologist Alexander Dragunkin. He built his system on the so -called Russified transcription. In addition, he deduced the “51 rule” of English grammar. Having learned which you can master this language

The above list of methods of learning English can be continued for a long time. The above systems are well suited precisely for the independent development of this language.

Studying English according to this technique, two texts are given. First there is an adapted passage. Usually this is a literal translation, often equipped with lexical and grammatical comments. After reading such a passage, the text in English seems to appear.

The technique is very good, interesting, but has one significant minus - it is more suitable to learn how to read in English, and not talk on it.

How to quickly learn words in English?

• There are many methods for remembering words in a foreign language. The simplest of them is the traditional method. In a notebook, it is necessary to record a few words in English (on the left side of the sheet) and their translation into Russian
• It is advisable to always keep the notebook open and in a prominent place. Read the words and repeat from. Try to remember and go to do your job. Contact your notebook several times a day. After a while, you can record a few more words. It is advisable to do this on another sheet. So, to leave it in a prominent place and at any moment throwing her eyes on the sheet with words
• Do not want a notebook, you can use the card method. To do this, cut the cardboard sheets into small cards. On the one hand, you need to write a word in English
• And in the second, its translation into Russian. Turn the cards with the English or Russian side to yourself and try to translate the words that are written there. Turn the card and check with the correct answer

On the Internet you can find online services where such cards are presented in electronic form. Thanks to the popularity of this method, today it will not be difficult to buy ready -made cards. But, nevertheless, it is better to make them yourself. After all, writing something on paper, we write it down in our subconscious.

Do not immediately try to remember a lot of words. In the long run, this is not very effective. The words learned quickly, as a rule, are quickly forgotten.

How to learn English verbs?

In principle, the above methods for memorizing English words are suitable for both nouns and verbs. But, among this category of English words, there are the so -called "wrong verbs." Like the right ones, they mean:

• Action - to Speak (Speak), to Come (come)
• Process - to sleep (sleep)
• Condition - to be (be), to know (know), etc.

At school, such verbs are taught as follows. The students are given their list, and the teacher asks to learn from it the next lesson as much as possible. This list has no structure that facilitates the study of such verbs. Therefore, few of us were able to master English at school.

How to quickly learn the wrong verbs of English?

• As mentioned above, to memorize such verbs, you can use the “card method”. But, unlike "simple" words, the wrong verbs have three forms. Which actually makes them wrong
• For the manufacture of cards with irregular verbs, you need to record the first form on one side, and on the second side there are two others. Moreover, the first form does not need to be supplied with translation. And on the reverse side you need to not only write two forms of the verb with the translation, but also provide with a hint. For example, "alternation of incorrect verbs of vowel in the root of [i:] on [e]"
• The advantage of this method is that it is easy to use. The cards can be crossed with your hands, remembering first the main shape, and then turn over and do the same with other forms. Such training can be carried out both at home and at work. Students can take such cards with them to the institute and repeat verbs during the change

Example of the card:

To facilitate the memorization of incorrect verbs, they can be grouped by:

• the method of formation of the second and third form
• repeatability or not repeatability of forms
• alternation of root vowels
• similarity of sound
• features of spelling

All other verbs need to be structured not according to alphabet, as in school, but on the above principles:

How to learn times in English

Another pitfall for everyone who wants to learn English is times. Having understood their use, you can take a big step forward in learning this language.

In general, there are three times in English:

But, the difficulty lies in the fact that each time has species. The first type of such times is called Simple (simple). That is, exists:

Continious (continued, long -term) is the second type of time.

The third species is called Perfect (perfect). Thus, there are:

There is also one more type of time that combines all previous Perfect Continuous (completely continued). Accordingly, times can be:

Important: in the special literature in English, Simple can be called Indefinite, and Continious - Progressive. Do not be scared, this is the same.

• In order to use English times in sentences, you need to understand what action takes place? It is regular, it was yesterday, it takes place at the moment, etc. Times of Simple indicate an action that occurs regularly, but its exact moment is not known. On Sundays - on Sundays (specific time is not known)
• If the proposal indicates a specific time (at the moment, from 4 to 6 hours, etc.), then Continious is used for a long time. That is, a time that denotes a specific moment or specific period of time.
• If the action is finished, Perfect is used. This time is used when the result of the action is already known or you can find out exactly when it ends (but it can still go)
• Less common in English, the design of Perfect Continious is used. It is used in order to indicate the process whose action is not finished, but it must be said at the moment. For example, "in May it will be 6 months, as I study English"
• To study the times of English, you can also make tables, as for incorrect verbs. Only instead of them to enter linguistic formulas. You can use special literature. Better at once several authors

How to learn the text in English?

• If you need to learn the text in English in a short period of time, then you can use several methods for this purpose
• Before learning the text in a foreign language, it is necessary to prepare. Namely, translate it. On the one hand, to learn the text in English without knowledge of what is written there cannot work. And on the other, while we are translating, something will already be recorded on the "subcortex"
• During the translation of the text, you need to re -read it several times. If you do this in the afternoon, then repeat this procedure before going to bed. We will sleep, and the brain work
• In the morning, the text needs to be printed and hung in prominent places. We cook food, the text should be in the kitchen in a prominent place. We will vacuum in the living room, it should also be visible

Let's go to the store, headphones in your ears and listen, repeating every word to yourself. In the gym, instead of heavy rock, you need to listen to this text again.

If the text is large, then it is better to divide it into several small passages, and remember each of them alternately. Do not be afraid, to learn the text in English is not as difficult as it seems.

How to learn English in a dream?

At the sunset of the Soviet era, many “unique” methods of self -education poured into our country. One of them was to study foreign languages \u200b\u200bduring sleep. Before going to bed, a cassette with lessons was placed in the player, headphones dressed and a man fell asleep. They say that some of this method helped.

• But for some reason he absorbs her after sleep. English words from the player can only spoil the dream. So, to worsen the perception of information the next day
• But, a dream can really help. But only if it is a time to take the time in front of it to learn the English language
• After such a lesson, you can get enough sleep, and the brain will “process” the information during this time and put it on the “shelves”. This method of studying foreign languages \u200b\u200bhas proven its effectiveness and is used by many people
• And you can improve this technique if immediately after sleep, fix what was studied before bedtime

English study: reviews

Katia. To learn a foreign language, he needs to be given a minimum of 30 minutes per day. Every day for half an hour. Even one missed day will be very negative. I without fail I devote 30 minutes to English per day. Plus, if there is still time, then they must occupy a bonus.

Kirill. Now there are a lot of sites on the Internet where material is presented in a playful way. I study English using TV shows. I watch the series in this language with Russian subtitles. I used to read subtitles all the time. And now I'm trying to understand myself.
