I don't know how it is in your country, but here in Brazil people are always looking for ways to magically learn English and become fluent in six months or less. But we know there is no magical solution to learning a new language. But don't feel sad. There are, however, some things people can do to speed up their learning. And in this video I'll give you five tips to learn English faster. Let's go. Do you know why you're learning English? My first tip to you is have a goal to learn English. When we have a goal to do something, it becomes easier to decide strategies and paths to follow to achieve this goal. This can be simple, like, to understand songs, movies and series in English, or even bolder ones like go study or live abroad or even get a better job. For my second tip, we're going to compare learning English to becoming fit. If I want to become fit, but I only go to the gym once a week, eat whatever I want, don't drink enough water or get enough sleep, in how much time will I become fit? Probably a longer time, if ever. But if I go to the gym two or three times a week, have a balanced diet, drink lots of water and get enough sleep, I definitely become fit a lot quicker. So, our brain is very similar to that. The more you stimulate it in English, the faster you'll learn. And not everyone can spend time abroad, especially now with the COVID-19 pandemic situation. But including English in your routine can do that trick and help develop language skills much faster. And one of the ways you can include English in your routine is to follow social media profiles about English and in English. We already spend a lot of time on social networks. So, why not take advantage of this and follow profiles that teach English? On these profiles you can learn expressions, vocabulary, grammar and much more. And be sure to follow the Learn English with Cambridge Instagram profile. It's full of tips for you to learn English. And you can also follow profiles in English where you can see native English speakers post original content to practice and learn real-life English. I suggest following profiles of topics you are interested in. The more interested you are, the more you will learn. For my fourth tip, thinking about improving your listening skills. Choose a topic you like and watch videos or listen to podcasts about it. If you like to cook, you can watch cooking videos in English. You can even watch movies or series in English to practice your listening. And if you need a little extra help, you can put the subtitles in English, or even in your own language, depending on your level of English. Something that's great about this is that today, with our globalised world, you can hear a number of different accents in English. And the more you train your ears to hear English, the more you will understand it. Here on the Learn English with Cambridge YouTube channel, you can hear English spoken in many different accents and learn a lot of English at the same time. Oh, by the way, click on the Subscribe button right now to see all of these wonderful accents and learn lots of English. My final tip for you, focusing more on speaking, is to practice thinking in English. One of the things my students struggle the more is having to translate everything they're going to say from their native language to English. And this can cause the person to be a slow speaker or to use the words in the wrong order or not make much sense. When you practice thinking in English, you exercise your brain to look for words and structures without referring to your own native language. Start slow, like ten minutes a day, think about what you are doing in English, and increase that time every week. This is also a great way to expand your vocabulary as you will be exposed to different situations during your week that might not come up during an English class. Having an English-speaking partner also is a great way to practice thinking and speaking in English. So, guys, these were my five tips to learn English quicker.
