“How can I learn English well?” This is a question many students ask. In my opinion the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out you’ve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell what the lesson says in your own words you're a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.

This is a difficult task. However if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson you’ll find it not half as hard as you might have thought. Learning this way you will make rapid progress. Of course writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English.

Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you your own language gets in your way. So never try to see English through translation.
