How To Speak And Learn English Fluently Through Tamil?

How to learn English quickly and speak fluently?

• Answer:

  The best thing is to start expanding your vocabulary. I would forget about grammar to start with. Grammar will come naturally after you start to read more and more. Learn words (written ones, and many of them). I would advice you to start with some children books or magazines like Donald Duck in English. Every time you come across a word you do not understand, then you look it up in a dictionary. This might be slow at start, but soon you know a lot of "easy" words. As you learn more words, you should increase the difficulty of what you are reading. The book(s) Lord Of The Rings by JRR Tolkien is great entertainment and not actually very difficult English. Remember to use your dictionary on all the words you do not understand. Learning a language does take time. Shortcuts that work for one, does not always work for another. I personally did learn English mostly by reading magazines and books in English. This together with an Dictionary. I had an English teacher at school that once told me: Try using an English to English Dictionary. That way you will learn faster because you will start thinking about the English language in English. I started using the Oxford Advanced Dictionary Of Current English. This book explain English words by using other English words, hence you learn even more English whilst learning English. The language you learn from magazines (as in cartoons) and books is not the same as in real life. You learn a lot of words, but you will look funny when you talk and write using cartoon and book phrases. Buy a couple of updated newspapers in English. Read them. That type of English is quite advanced and sort of the English we all want to understand. For the speaking/talking part: Nothing is like actually watching a few films. It is great entertainment and... NO... you do not add subtitles in your own language. Subtitles in English is OK. Remember. You want to learn English. Be persistent. A minimum of 1 hour a day of reading exercise. The more you read, the more you start thinking in English, the easier the English language will become. When you start dreaming in English, then you have mastered the language. Why do you want to learn English if you are able to read and understand what I have written in my answer here. You seem to do a most splendid job already. Practice on the spoken English. By watching films without subtitles, your brain will open up for the spoken language. You will become better at understanding spoken English and at the same time you will hear your self how you sound when you speak English. Remember: Life is about having fun as well. If you get fed up with English, then have a break a few days. Play football. Go swimming. Think about something else. The most important thing is to make your self understood in the language. As long as you can do that, then nothing will be able to stop you from mastering the language with time.
