When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages don’t just have different sounds, and they are different in many ways. It’s important to master the rules for the word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.” “I have seen the movie already.” “I have already seen the movie.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.

Spoken English Learning #221: How should we improve our spoken English? (By Mandy) A great thing about learning a language is that you don’t have to sit down with a textbook for many hours and learning English doesn’t mean doing grammar exercises all the time. Well, you can live in English and watch English TV shows. You can read books and texts and you can travel. You can do everything in English. That’s why we are doing this. Use English in real daily conversations. We want to show people it’s not strange for Chinese to communicate in English. We want to tell everybody that we should be confident of our accents. And “speak out” is the first step of learning English. In this video, you’re going to watch many funny conversations and gradually improve spoken English. |
COMMENTS (评论) Pam/Shandong/2 hours ago I really want to learn English well but I always fail many English exams. Luckily, I found this video online. It’s very useful. I hope I will make progress gradually. Sandra/Sichuan/6 days ago All the conversations are interesting and Mandy’s voice is sweet. When I have free time, I will watch them. I want to take more lessons. But I am afraid to speak English in public. I hope I can be brave after learning from Mandy. Nora/ Henan/15 days ago Mandy’s accent is perfect and she sounds like a native speaker. That is great. I sometimes can’t follow my English teacher in class. Nita/ Jilin/1 month ago I want my children to join you and I will ask them to attend your lessons online after they finish their phonics (自然拼读) lessons. My children can’t remember words. Maybe the educational videos can help them. |

I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can’t learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I’m very glad to tell you something about how I study English.
First, I think an interest in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject-English. It was fresh to me. I became interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! Since then, I have been learning English harder and harder. Our English teacher often taught us English songs, and the songs sounded nice. I often think how interesting English is!
Second, English is another language different from our Chinese. We should learn it in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully in class, speak bravely, read aloud and have a larger and larger vocabulary, and then practice again and again. And I have a good habit: whenever I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand it!
Besides, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but also useful. They help me understand a lot of things. So, to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.
And I also do some exercises in our workbooks, and I keep writing English diaries.
Now I have learned English for more than two years. I am always in the first place in our class. Of course, I hope every classmate of mine can learn English well, too.
