  1. Remember that learning a language is a gradual process - it does not happen overnight.
  2. Define your learning objectives early: What do you want to learn and why?
  3. Make
    learning a habit. Try to learn something every day. It is much better
    to study (or read, or listen to English news, etc.) 10 minutes each day
    than to study for 2 hours once a week.
  4. Remember to make
    learning a habit! If you study each day for 10 minutes English will be
    constantly in your head. If you study once a week, English will not be
    as present in your mind.
  5. Choose your materials well. You will need reading, grammar, writing, speaking and listening materials
  6. Vary
    your learning routine. It is best to do different things each day to
    help keep the various relationships between each area active. In other
    words, don't just study grammar.
  7. Find friends to study and speak with. Learning English together can be very encouraging.
  8. Choose
    listening and reading materials that relate to what you are interested
    in. Being interested in the subject will make learning more enjoyable -
    thus more effective.
  9. Relate grammar to practical usage. Grammar
    by itself does not help you USE the language. You should practice what
    you are learning by employing it actively.
  10. Move your mouth!
    Understanding something doesn't mean the muscles of your mouth can
    produce the sounds. Practice speaking what you are learning aloud. It
    may seem strange, but it is very effective.
  11. Be patient with
    yourself. Remember learning is a process - speaking a language well
    takes time. It is not a computer that is either on or off!
  12. Communicate!
    There is nothing like communicating in English and being successful.
    Grammar exercises are good - having your friend on the other side of
    the world understand your email is fantastic!
  13. Use the Internet.
    The Internet is the most exciting, unlimited English resource that
    anyone could imagine and it is right at your finger tips.

Tips:

  1. Remember that English learning is a process
  2. Be patient with yourself
  3. Practice, practice, practice
There are many ways to improve your level of English:

READ IT
Read as many English books, newspapers and magazines as you can find.
We also recommend the English version of the monthly magazine READERS DIGEST. It has short stories and articles.

LISTEN TO IT
Try some of the radio stations we recommend on the Worldwide Radio schedules page BBC Overseas Service. They have a very good website designed to help English learners and teachers.
LOOK AT OTHER LEARNING MATERIAL ON THE WEB VOLTERRE in France has a valuable list of sites for learners and teachers of English and French.

TALK IT
Talk to friends who are also learning English. Make a rule that perhaps for an hour, or when you go out together, you will only speak English to each other! Find native English-speaking people who will give you conversation practice.

GO TO AN ENGLISH LANGUAGE SCHOOL

MORE ABOUT LEARNING ENGLISH
English is an easy language to start learning because:

    * it has no genders. Apart from people, all objects are 'neuter', not 'masculine' or 'feminine'. So you say 'it' for such things, and do not need to learn any genders.

    * it usually has easy verb endings. Apart from a few 'irregular' verbs, verb endings are easy, and hardly change.

    * adjectives remain the same for all words - there are no different endings to learn.

    * the singular and plural pronoun 'you' is the same. There is no need to decide whether to use a polite form, or an intimate form, when speaking to someone as in French or German. (English used to have the singular form 'thou', which was often used in the intimate way like 'tu' or 'du'. In fact, in dialects in parts of England, this is still sometimes used. And in the Republic of Ireland, they have a very sensible plural form of 'you', when speaking to several people: 'yous'.)

The difficult parts of English are:

    * the spelling of a word may not show what the pronunciation (way of saying) the word is.
      This is because English words came from many different sources. It is not a 'pure' language.

    * because English came from two main sources - old French, and old Anglo-Saxon, there is a very large vocabulary of words. Words with similar meanings may have come from both sources. For example, START (from Anglo-Saxon) and COMMENCE (from old French). The meaning is similar, but not precisely the same.

Here are some goals you could set yourself:-


  • Join an English course (and attend regularly).
  • Do your homework.
  • Read a book a month.
  • Learn a new word every day.
  • Visit an English speaking forum every day.
  • Read a news article on the net every day.
  • Do 10 minutes listening practice every day.
  • Watch an English film at least once a month.
  •  Follow a soap, comedy or radio or TV drama.
 for increasing your reasoning and numerical problem soling skills there is only one method ,practice hard and improve your speed  by applying short methods in problem solving

  • Practice maths with and without a calculator. Practising really does make a difference.
  • Do number puzzles in newspapers and magazines.
  • Keep score when playing games like darts, card games, etc.
  • Calculate how much your shopping will cost before you reach the till.
  • Work out how much change you should receive when you pay for something.
  • Learn your times tables off by heart.
  • Read financial reports in newspapers.
  • Study tables of data.
