“You can attend English lessons as often as you want,
but there is no guarantee you will learn anything.
You have to know how to learn to be successful.”
Fiona Simpson-Stöber
The easiest and most effective way to learn a language is to do it intuitively. Once you know how to learn you will have so much fun and you will see progress very quickly.
The main thing that you need to do, is to understand why you want to learn the language and why you want to become fluent. If you give your brain a reason to do something, it has a use for the information it is trying to learn. This in turn makes it much easier to process and save as it is constantly attaching emotion to the vocabulary that you are learning.
There we have it, EMOTION. If you want to become fluent in English, or in any language for that matter, you have to add emotion to what you are learning. Words alone are meaningless, they only start to mean something when we can associate the word with an experience, which in turn leads to an emotion being docked onto the word.

Learning will be the most successful if you know how you learn. This means if you understand how your brain works then you will have a better chance of learning. Learning a language is no exception to this rule. If you want to learn English quickly and effectively then you have to find a need to do so. You have to understand why you want to learn English in the first place and if you are helping your child to improve their English for school then in order to help them effectively I suggest you start by helping them to find a need for the language.

To improve your spoken English, it is all about skill and learning how to use the language without thinking too much.
You have to practise; you have to train your speech, your hearing and your mind. To be honest, it is quite similar to your acquisition of your first language.
