How to learn English fast: all our tips

Maybe you need to speed up your English learning because your time is limited or maybe the date of an exam is approaching. Whatever the reason, the tips we will give you today will help you with that.

How to learn English fast: our tips

Step up your learning pace with this list of tips. Now, remember these must become a habit for you to see their benefits.

1. Clarify your goal

Determine the reason why you want to learn English fast. Maybe it is for a job position, to graduate from university or for a trip abroad in a few months.

Whatever the reason, keep it in mind, as it will allow you to set your priorities and guide your learning.

For example, if you are going to travel to England in a few months, you should focus on speaking and learn travel vocabulary. Whereas if you want to learn to get an official certificate as soon as possible, it would be better to follow a course more adapted to this need.

In any case, always keep your goal in mind and make sure it is realistic and achievable so you don’t get discouraged.

2. Turn English into a necessity

If English is necessary for you, you will learn it faster. One way to do this is to travel to an English-speaking country. In that situation, you will be forced to know English even to do trivial tasks like shopping or moving around the city.

However, if you can’t travel at the moment, another option is to set your electronic devices to English. Put your mobile phone, TV, computer and video games in English. That way you will need to learn English quickly to watch a series or send a message. But don’t limit yourself to this only. Find creative ways to turn English into a necessity for you and that way your learning will speed up.

3. Accustom your ear to English sounds

By sounds, we mean music, podcasts and English movies. Listening to all these can speed up your learning. This method is called implicit language learning because our brain is able to recognize language structures without realizing it. This means that if you get exposed to English repeatedly your brain will recognize accents, words, grammar, etc.

Go ahead and make a playlist with your favorite songs and podcasts in English and listen to them constantly. You can also listen to ABA on Air to kill two birds with one stone: you listen to English while learning a new lesson at the same time.

4. Associate words with visual things

Associate words with mimics or with an image. This way, you will be able to learn and memorize them more easily. For example, associate the word swimming with an image of someone swimming. You can do the same with the word eating: associate it with an image of people eating. But don’t limit yourself to verbs only. You can also do this with nouns to enrich your vocabulary. For example, when you say or write heart put your hand on your chest. When you say sky look up at the sky, etc.

5. Learn in context

Don’t learn language elements in isolation and try to remember in which situations words are used. That is, in which sentences, phrases and contexts they are used. For example, in the ABA English course, you will be able to see 144 short films representing daily conversations so you can see how words and expressions are used in context.

6. Don’t be afraid of mistakes

Making mistakes is an excellent way to learn. In fact, there are mistakes that are very common for almost all English learners. Making mistakes will help you speed up the process because when you make mistakes, identify them and then correct them, it is almost impossible to forget them. So don’t be afraid to take risks when writing a text or speaking. Do it and you will learn the correct way.

7. Speak

Remember that practice makes perfect and there is no better practice to speed up your learning than speaking. There are many ways to achieve it, and one of them is to meet English speakers, practice with a friend who knows or is learning English too, or look for a language exchange group in your city, among others.

At ABA English, we offer you our conversation classes, where you can participate and communicate with students from all over the world about different topics. The sessions are guided by a native teacher who accompanies participants in this experience.

8. Join an online English course

One of the best ways to learn English fast is to join an English online course. That way, you won’t have to leave home to learn and you can advance at a pace you like. ABA English offers you a complete course to learn English fast. The program includes video grammar classes, short films, interactive exercises and much more.
