WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO… ?

Learn a language
This week we ask Students and teachers from all over the World for their ideas.

Sang-woo, student, Korea

Find something interesting t oread in the language you’re studying. Reading really helps you
learn new vocabulary and gramar. I’m studying Spanish, and I try t oread a litrle Sapanish every
day – you don’t have to spend a long time doing it, mybe just five minutes looking at a Spanish
newspaper or website.

Ana, student, Peru

I think you have to concéntrate on pronunciation from the beginning. You don’t have to
pronounce words perfectly, but you can’t pronounce them in a way theat people won’t
understand. I practice English pronunciation by repeating words after the CD or by saying the
words in my head.

Elke, language teacher, Sweden

You have to listen to the languages as much as you can. In Swedwn a lot of people speak very
gook English, and I think it’s partly because there are TV programs in English so you hear the
languages a lot.

Sompong, IT consultant, Thailand

I don’t have a lot of time for studying, but I think that the Internet is an incredible resourse for
learners of English around the world. Everybody with a computer has Access to millions of
pages of English, and you don’t have to leave home –in a few seconds you can find something
interesting to read. You don’t have to be studying to learn a language – you can be enjoying
yourself.

Wen, student, Taiwan

I think you have to have a good dictionary. It can really help you learn a language. It tells you
what words mean, but it also gives you information about how words are used together, phrases,
expressions, and pronunciation.

b. Complete the sentences with the people’s names.

1. Ana says that you don’t need to have perfect pronunciation.
