Learn Past Your Limits

Can you learn English? Here are three things you can do. First, you can listen to people speak in English. When you listen, please repeat & sing it. Let the rhythm ring & dance through your mind
.
Second, speak to people. Bark like a dog. Parrot, copy, & imitate what native speakers say. Please say the final sounds loudly, longer, & more often, at first. Say each syllable (sound, part, bit) to a word. Focus on each sound at a time. Compare & contrast different sounds & words. Write it down. For example, compare & practice the words "BACK" & "PACK." The letter B is said with a deeper vibration from the back of your throat. It is voiced. The sound is kept more in. Blow & spit out the P sound like gun shots. You are the police. Practice saying "TH" in "THAN" and "F" in "FAN" and "V" in "VAN." Bite your tongue for the "TH" sound. Bite your lips for "F." The "V" sound requires vibration. Please think in English. Make English a cornerstone for your life. Focus on fundamental formal English first before moving on to idioms, slang, & street English. Try to learn some grammar, some sentence structure basics, because that is the foundation to making your own sentences
.
Third, pass it on. Teach what you learn to others because that will help you learn it even more. Teachers are students. Writers are readers. Use it or lose it. No pain, no gain. Education must be memorable but also personal (personalized). Keep a blog. Have others read what you write. Ask them to leave you comments (feedback). Have fun as you are learning & practice. Learn hard. Work hard. Play harder. Appreciate what you got. Reward yourself when you reach goals you set. Learn English as you learn other things. Sing. Dance. Watch films with subtitles. Rap. Insanity is when you do the same things while expecting different results. Try different things. Don't punish yourself too much. Be consistent. Find teachers & friends that can challenge & push you pass your limits
