Nowadays, there are so many children whom be able to speak in english fluently with they’re mom and dad. And absolutely, they make me so envy because of that small things.

            Well, we have been learning english since elementary school, but, why do we still find it difficult to speak or even just writing ? that’s literally because we are so afraid to make a mistake, and are so shy to show it. Most of my friends actually knows how to speak english and understand the point when someone speak english. But , ya they kind of afraid to say it, and they just keep quiet, and nod they’re chin. My teacher told me that we are too afraid to make a mistake with grammar, i know that grammar is important and tricky, even I still have so many mistakes with grammar. But, that is not the reason that will stop me from learning english, because my teacher said that, as long as your partner understand what is the point of you want to talk about, it does not matter. But, it will be good if you can speak english with a good grammar, because someday, when you take a TOEFL test, then the question will be about grammar.

            Nowadays, there are so many way to learn english, as i said before like listen to music or read a novel. And you can try to start singing with the lyrics, there are so many application in your smartphone (you have to download it first) that will support your effort. By listen to music and try to sing along with the music, you can learn how to say it with the right pronounciation. You have to improve your english skill every day, even just saying a small things.

            Here, i will give you some tips how to learn english. First, speak a little english everyday, even if you only know 5 words. You can just say hallo to your friends and start ask something in english. Second, work on your pronounciation by listen to how native say it or listen the dictionary online. Third, expand your vocabulary, this is one of the most important things in learning english and other languages. Fourth, attend an English class, because there will be professional teacher that will teach you, and you will hear so many different accent. And there will be so many ways to learn English, but my favorite way to learn English is find an English pen-pal, i found him by an online chatting when i was in senior high school, my vocabulary is not really much back then but he said that it’s ok. We still chatting until now, it’s already 5 years.

            Other ways to learn English that always motivated me is, I always tell my self that someday im going to marry  a man from another country. That is really a silly motivation, but it keeps me learn to speak, writing, understand, and learn to know the accent. And i know that someone whom be able to speak english is cool and interesting. Since, im not really good at acoounting, so i have to find another skill, and i choose to learn english. Because, you know that english is an International language, and there are so many people that be able to speak English, and i don’t want to be a person who only nod her chin pretend that i understand to every single thing they say.

            The last thing you should be doing is, you have to practise it. No matter how it sounds silly or terrible, but you have to try. Speaking, writing and  listening. Learn how to ask a question, answer a question, and more. And don`t forget to not to afraid to make mistake, everyone make mistakes. They who never make mistake are people who never try.
