How to be (like) a native speaker in fun ways:

  Many people think, English was weird. But, it’s true. Learn English probably hard for some people. And also me as the writer. But I keep learning. And so do you. But, you have to search another angle from learning this. Because it’s really boring. Like maybe some courses you took. You just sit there, listen to your teacher and repeat what your teacher says. And this is my tips :

1.        1. Don’t be shy to learn English

In fact, many people shy to learn English.  Especially for the old ones. Why? Maybe it’s all because ‘age’ factor. People think, the old ones should be higher or one step front of the youngs. But that’s not the point. No matter how old you are, learning is a must, not only in English but everything.

1     2. Don’t study grammar too much

Grammar is important, but studying grammar will only confuse you. You will think about the rules while writing sentences that comes naturally on your mind. And your sentences will be messed up.

Many students know more grammar than the native speakers. But students dont make it automatic out of their mind. Native speakers do, they can apply it perfectly without thinking about ‘what I should say first?’ . However native speakers can speak, communicate effectively  and fluent in English than students. It’s all because they don’t really think about what grammar I should put into? So, if you want to speak English fluently, try not to study grammar too much.

3.       3.Don’t be so hard into theory

English is not just a theory. English is a language. Read an English book or read vocabs in dictionary, that’s good for student, but try not to be a student. Stop thinking of yourself as someone who is learning English, and start thinking of yourself as someone who speaks English. It will make your self-confidence up in English and start thinking in English.

4.       4. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes

You failed a test? Your scores in some test are bad? Don’t worry, it’s not the end of the world. It doesn’t mean you are stupid. English is more than a score. It’s about who you are. The more you learn the more you can, so don’t be scared if you failed an English test.

5      5. More practicing

If you learn English but you don’t use it everyday, it will useless. You don’t have to take an expensive course to be a fluent speaker. You just have to surround yourself with English. How? You have to do more practicing in speaking English and use it everyday and everytime. Some people think, learning English once a week is a enough, but it’s not. At least you have to practice about every last minute you learn.

6.       6. Listen more and more

You don’t have to listen the listening part of a test. You can listen to a song you like. But don’t read the lyrics. Try to listen carefully what the singer said in the song. Then  start to think about the meaning of the song, or the meaning of the sentences. But don’t translate word by word into your mother tounge. Because it doens’t work out. The meaning will find some differences. Like the incorrect sentences, etc. So, you have to learn phrases obviously.

7.       7. Go watch watch

If you are the visual type of a person. You might be like to watch some movie. So, let’s go watch a movie. But, don’t use the subtitle of your mother tounge. Use the subtitle in English, read carefully so you can understand the meaning of the movie and by the time you will watch and understand the movie without seeing the subtitle. Or if you like to read a book, the book that you like for sure, like some kind  of romance novel if you are a melancholic teenager or  a comic if you are a teenager with a lot of imagination. Or something else that you like, but that must be in English absolutely.

8.       8. Ask the native speaker

When you find a native speaker try to make a conversation a little. That will be useful and will be the most unforgettable experience English learning for your first time. I can confidence say this with some experiences. So I won’t tell you more, but you have to feel this by yourself. Goodluck.

Ps : find a good looking native speaker, so you will enjoy the convos time. Or maybe more haha

9.       9. Believe in yourself

I can’t tell you much about this one. But, you have to believe in yourself. Believe you can speak English fluently. It’s all depends on yourself. And this is the most important when you want to success in English.

May that's all gonna help you guys. Remember, the writer still learning too guys. Don't be so hard on my mistakes.
