#English Learning

[diy-languages]

Quick tip: as silly as It sounds, watching kids show in the language you're learning helps a lot ! :D I mean, if they're meant to teach kids to speak their very first language, why wouldn't it help older people learn a new one?

If you want to get fluent you have to view it as starting from zero, the same way everyone started from zero when they learnt their mother/first language as kids! Good luck!

If you struggle to use singular they/them pronouns or know someone who does, look at slash send them one of the sites below to help you/them practice.

In addition, I have compiled a short list for you/them to learn about singular they/them personal pronouns on your/their own time.

This autumn seems especially cozy, when leaves rustle underfoot and a warm cup of coffe is in my hand, the world slows down.

I love these moments when you can just be here and now. There's no bustle, only silence, calm and harmony with nature.

How do you rest in autumn?

You walk well into meetings. You walk out quietly. Not because you don’t know what to say but because it’s in English.

You are not just a business owner in the Middle East.

You are a leader. A builder. A provider.

You have made your business work. You have made it grow strong.

So, everyone around you expects you to know all the answers.

And most of the time, you do because you are smart.

But when it comes to English?

You wait for no reason.

You nod on the call.

You say “yes” when you mean “wait.”

And you leave feeling like you just gave your power away.

And that hurts.

Because you are not just guessing in English.

You are risking big deals that should be yours.

You have tried letting your team negotiate.

But no one knows your business like you because you built it from zero.

You sit there, quietly, and listen while someone else speaks for you in English.

That’s not what you want.

You want to negotiate confidently in English to get those big international deals and funding.

That’s what we help Middle Eastern business owners like you do.

How to learn a language for free with a pc

a tutorial to explain how I learned English (as an Italian) by myself in a self-taught way

Decide what language you wanna learn. This can be applied for most languages.

Start watching media in that language. Start with something easy like DreamWorks movies (simple but not trivial language)

The 1st time you watch something in said language you can put subs in your language.

the 2nd and 3rd time put the subs in the language you are learning

Remove completely the subs. You DO NOT wanna train your eyes to look down.

In case you don't understand a word or a sentence you can rewind those few seconds to switch back on the subs and write down the word.

At the end of the movie search the words you wrote down. It's better to search them with the sentence so you can understand the word and in which context you can use them (for example in English the same word can be used in many different contexts/meanings)

Try speaking in that language. Practice a lot and have fun with it. The more you practice, the more confident you will feel with that language

REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN DO IT💙💙💙

я всегда смеюсь, когда в учебнике написано, что в этой главе вы научитесь использовать сослагательное наклонение. вы не научитесь. вы познакомитесь с некоторыми объяснениями и примерами сослагательного наклонения. что касается того, когда вы действительно научитесь использовать его, это решит ваш мозг, но, возможно, это произойдёт не раньше, чем через полгода. так что не торопитесь. расслабьтесь и наслаждайтесь процессом.
