Dear students, learning English is a gradual process akin to mastering the art of bicycle riding. It requires time and balance alongside constant practice. Have you ever felt weak in this pursuit? Don’t despair, for with many others, you stand in good company. What matters is your ability to change situations for the better. Let us go down this road step by step.
1. Find Your Weak Areas
2. Build Your Confidence First
- Don’t fear mistakes — they help you learn.
- Give yourself credit when you improve, even a little.
- Ask for help when needed. It's not a weakness — it's growth.
3. Use Your First Language Strategically
It's okay to use your native language when you’re stuck, but gradually try to rely more on English. Translation is a helpful tool, but immersion is the goal.
4. Link English to Real-Life Situations
- Talk about your routine, school, food, or friends in English.
- Use English while shopping, texting, or even playing games.
- Practice dialogues that you’d actually use in daily life.
5. Focus on All Four Core Skills
- Listening: Watch cartoons, songs, and English conversations with subtitles.
- Speaking: Talk to your friends in English, even for 2 minutes daily.
- Reading: Choose storybooks, menus, posters — anything easy and fun.
- Writing: Keep a diary or write simple texts using new words you’ve learned.
6. Create a Daily English Routine
Just 20 minutes of English every day can make a big difference. Read a story, speak with a classmate, or watch a video — every minute counts.
7. Personalize What You Learn
Write about your hobbies, describe your day, or record your thoughts in English. You’ll stay motivated and connect better with the language.
8. Use Visual and Practical Tools
Flashcards, charts, diagrams, gestures, and videos all help you understand and remember faster. Don’t rely only on textbooks.
9. Track and Celebrate Your Progress
Try maintaining a progress table like the one below. It helps you see where you're growing and where you still need practice.
| Student | Listening | Speaking | Reading | Writing | Grammar | Vocabulary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rahim | 60% | 55% | 68% | 50% | 62% | 58% |
| Nasima | 78% | 82% | 80% | 75% | 84% | 81% |
10. Involve Your Family in the Process
- Encourage short conversations in English at home.
- Watch English movies or cartoons with subtitles together.
- Let your parents cheer you on when you speak English!
Remember, progress may be slow at first, but it always builds up. With daily practice and the right mindset, you’ll be amazed at how far you can go. Stay curious, stay confident, and never stop trying.
