Read more & improve your English!

Francis Bacon rightly opined that reading makes a man complete. The more you read the more knowledge you gain. Reading is a skill which improves your English speaking skills also. Make a habit of reading regularly. Read as many English books, newspapers and magazines as you can daily.


v Choose an author whom you like most and read their works. Observe very carefully how the sentences are formed; choice of words and expressions used.
v  One of the advantages of reading is you can guess and learn more words in context. Concentrate on what you read and try to find out it’s meaning by intelligent guessing. Later on you can refer to a dictionary.
v  Read the easiest English daily newspaper, children’s novels and magazines regularly.
v  Buy English grammar & spoken English books which can be easily understood by you without seeking help from anybody. By reading these types of books you can learn English within no time.


O.K. all the best!

My English Learning Experince!

HOW I LEARNED ENGLISH?

I request you to please read this entire article patiently which will help you a lot.

At the outset, I want to tell you one thing that I was not good speaker of English for about a decade ago. I kept on thinking what I should do in order to speak reasonably correct English without any flaws. “Necessity is the mother of invention” – this is absolutely a correct proverb. I wished strongly that I wanted to learn & speak English – that intensity & desire simply laid a path and made me a good speaker of English.

Remember, my dear friends! If you are sincere, hardworking and dedicated to your work or life God will always extends his support and will show you a way!

Coming back to my learning experience of English language – firstly, I joined a spoken English institute but was failed to learn English. The second and third attempts were also failures only. But fortunately in the fourth attempt, I happened to meet a good Master and with his tips and instructions at last I learned English. During my learning process of English language I did following things regularly without fail –
  1. Learning English Grammar rules with utmost care.
  2. Using and implementing these rules with the people whom I knew very well.
  3. Carefully observing each and every sentence how it is formed.
  4. Listening to the people who are good at English without allowing a single thought.
  5. Reading more and more novels especially of the greatest R.K. Narayan’s and English newspapers for two hours daily.
  6. Continuously trying to improve my vocabulary.
  7. Never thought negatively about myself and my knowledge despite the fact that I was from Telugu medium background.

With these types of practices I have learned English within no time. So, my dear precious student friends – you must have a strong desire and zeal to learn English and work hard sincerely by putting all your efforts. This is THE SECRET TO LEARN ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

Wishing you all the very best!
Yours –
