Do you ever feel frustrated because you can\u2019t travel to an English-speaking country to learn English?\nToday we have Ana Luiza from Ingles Online.\nShe is going to offer you three tips to make it work from home.\n\xa0\n3 Ways to Learn English from Home:\n\nDon\u2019t only read, start with audio: Don\u2019t invest too much time in just reading if you don\u2019t know the sounds of English. It\u2019s common for people to start with just reading but they don\u2019t use the audio to go with what they are reading. These students end up having strange pronunciation because they use the sounds of their native language. If you do this, it will be a huge waste of time.\n\nListen to things that you understand: Start with English audio that you understand but can\u2019t use quite yet. Don\u2019t focus your time on English that you don\u2019t understand. Once you understand something once, you need to see it again and again and review it. You need to see it used in different contexts and see it being used by different people. It takes time to acquire the language. It\u2019s a process.\xa0Don\u2019t jump ahead and skip over words that you think you already know.\n\nStart small: If you are busy and don\u2019t have a lot of time consume English in small chunks. Fifteen minutes a day is great.\xa0Take small steps. Listen to English while you are doing something else like cooking.\n\nAna Luiza has shown us that it is possible to get better at English even if you can\u2019t travel to an English-speaking country.\nGo get started with some of these tips and techniques today!\n\xa0\nAna Luiza\u2019s Bio:\nAna Luiza Bergamini is the founder of http://www.inglesonline.com.br,\xa0a website that teaches English to Portuguese speakers with a focus on comprehension and speaking, and features weekly tips and a podcast, and a multimedia course of basic English.\nAna has taught English for over ten years and she now lives in London, UK.\n\xa0\nTalk to us in the comments!\nHave you tried using any of these tips?\nHow did they work?\nLearn more about your ad choices.
