If you are serious about improving your English, then there are some ways you can easily surround yourself with the language in your every day.
Switch the Language on your Phone, Facebook, Computer
- The first thing to do is change the language of your mobile to English.
- Change the language you use Facebook or other network applications to English.
- Change your computer settings (windows, g mail, hotmail, documents, games) to English.
English Media
- Read English newspapers online. *
- Watch English television channels (with and without subtitles).
- Listen to English radio.
- Listen to English music.
- Listen to English audio books on your mp3 player/ in your car.
- Write your shopping list in English.
Remember
Even if you are just a beginner, the way to learn a language is to immerse yourself in it. Its difficult to learn English here in Spain because there are not many people who speak English. However, you can control some elements of your environment.
Learning English does not mean you will forget Spanish or Catalan. You can already speak both, so now, learn another language without guilt or fear that you don't love your own language. Every one knows you love Catalan or Spanish. Its OK to love other languages also and understand their usefulness. Knowing more languages does not deplete (take away) from the ones you already know. You will not forget your own languages.
The more time and effort you put into studying, the quicker you will learn. Its a direct relationship between effort and time spent and increased knowledge.
