Three things you need to be a successful English learner #1 (permalink) Tue Jan 20, 2009 16:59 pm   Three things you need to be a successful English learner
 

It's interesting that there are so many people who want to know how to learn English but only very few are ready to actually accept the answer. There are just three things you need know and do to become a successful English learner: How to become a successful English learner?

Let me know what you think.
Many thanks,
Torsten

Aristotle has this to say on habit - "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit".

Hi Torsten
Actually, for me, the success is the basis of everything, and to reach your goal, is the true meaning.
I think it's not easy to be successful English learner, if you don't have real and strong will.
That's what i'm doing with the english, I got into the habit of practicing english every day..
Best Regards

There are a lot of people who say they want to improve their English but at the same time they ignore basic language rules such as capitalizing the beginning of a sentence or words like 'English' and 'I'. Now, if somebody is not willing or able to develop the habit of starting each sentence with a capital letter, how can they ever become 'successful' English learners? It's like the person who wants to become a maths professor but at the same time doesn't want to learn how to count from 0 to 100.

Once you have developed bad punctuation or spelling habits it's very difficult to correct that behaviour later on. As a learner of English is absolutely crucial that you stick to basic spelling and typing rules because they way you compose a written text tells the reader a lot about your person. If you ignore basic language rules it's very likely that you do the same in other areas of life as well. I would not hire a person who has bad typing habits because that person will probably ignore large parts of the employment contract too.

You are right dear Torsten. Capitalization and punctuation are very important skills in English. I remember most of my English teachers in the university used to give us a negative mark when we did not indent, capitalize or put the right punctuation mark. Therefore, to be a sucessful English learner you have to practise a lot English rules (like indentation, capitalization and punctuation). Once you begin to make sure that you abide by the English rules in your writing skills it becomes habitual.

Well said..Ania R..!

We are all having one goal - “Improving our speaking and writing skills in English." We must always stick to the grammar rules whenever we put our language in to practice.

Keep practicing and then people will keep on smiling at your improvement

Dear Torsten,

All three things you had mentioned are impotant ones.
I would like to add that motivation is behind the reason why somebody started to study English. You can apeal to self-esteem of individual but from the very begining motivation is a first thing to find out and to think over.
Then we can talk about means to achieve this or that goal but the goal itself should be realistic. Isn't it?
What for? and How? are good questions in this case. The third question Who? is going to undertake an exiting adventure
(how I call the prosses of studing English). None all of successfull leaners are leaders in daily life.

In conclusion I'd like to point out that an individual aproach is the best way of teaching and motivation is the best engine of studing. Without proper teaching and strong motivation it is all for nothing. While writing I uderstood that by your message you wanted to increase my motivation. Thanks a lot.

Best regards,

Olga Dianova
