Reading
With most languages, it’s easier to learn how to read them before you speak them. This helps to teach you sentence structure and context of how words are used. This is a great way to be introduced to English as you can start by reading children’s books and other simple passages that can introduce you to the language. Our program will help you learn to read English with understanding.
Speaking & listening
While reading is a simple introduction to a language, fully experiencing a language by speaking it and listening to others speak it is more effective. This helps you to work on pronunciation, contextual usage of words, and understanding the meaning of the words you say. It also helps you to understand the way you shape your mouth and use your tongue and teeth with specific words and sounds.
Writing
When you’re a new English speaker and you’re speaking to someone who’s been speaking it their whole life, it can be difficult to convey the appropriate message you want. This can come as a result of your unfamiliarity with words in the language and the way they’re used in a situation or proper pronunciation. Learning how to properly write in English is a great way to communicate when speaking has broken down. It will help you to provide the person with whom you’re trying to communicate with another form of expressing yourself.
Grammar
One of the most advanced and complex ways of learning to speak English is learning to use correct grammar. Much of it is circumstantial with relatively loose rules compared to other languages. That being said, learning English grammar will teach you how to form clear and concise sentences that effectively communicate your message. You’ll find the while English grammar can be difficult and frustrating, the basics are essential to efficient
