Learning English can be a drudgery or fun, depending on how you are doing it. Here are some tips that will help you learn English and have fun.

Read

Read as much as you can in English. No matter what it is, from cartoons to British literature, anything counts.

Naturally if you wish to develop, you have to choose something that provides you a challenge. So renew your library pass, subscribe to your favorite English magazine or go online.

Immerse

Understanding British or American culture can be a part of language learning. There are a lot of expressions or situations that can be understood and remembered better if you know a couple of customs, behavioral patterns, books or poems.

It is always fascinating to realize that you understand a short story, a text or even longer pieces of art in English.

Share

Where and how, you might ask. There are many ways to do this. You can start your own blog in English about your hobby, travel experiences or anything that interests you.

If you don’t feel like writing, read other people’s blogs or articles in English and feel free to comment if you have a question. You can also try to find an online community that has the same interest as you where you can share your ideas, thoughts and beliefs in English.

Dare

This usually seems to be the most difficult part, but you have to conquer yourself. If you find yourself in a situation where you have the chance to use English, grab it.

You must overcome your fears that you might speak incorrectly, and you can also ask your partner to correct you. So whenever you travel or meet foreigners don’t forget to speak as much as you can.

Or you can subscribe to interactive web pages that not only provide interesting ways of online learning but the chance to meet and speak with other learners too.

Relax

Never forget the power of relaxation. You don’t always have to force yourself to study if you are tired. You can also listen to some music, watch a movie or listen to an audio book. It doesn’t sound too difficult, does it?

学会分享

你可能会问，在哪里分享和怎么分享？其实有很多方法。你可以开始用英语写博客，描述自己的业余爱好、旅行经历或者任何你感兴趣的事情。

如果你不想写，也可以去读英文的博客或文章，在有疑问时大胆评论。你也可以试着找到一个与你志趣相投的线上社区，在那里用英文分享你自己的想法、思考和信念。

无所畏惧

这通常看起来是最困难的部分，但你必须战胜自己。如果你发现自己有机会使用英语，一定要抓住这个机会。
