  1. Hi classmates!
    I think one thing most improved my English is to practice and to really study.
    For example, I have been speaking English since the end high school. I could talk a lot of words but I really don’t know if it´s right.
    Many times, before I go to class, I have tried to study in my home but only I am studying well now.
    Also, I am playing an app to Smartphone, it´s called Duolingo. When you have less time, you can play and learn with this app anywhere.
    Besides I have started to watch English TV series. I must improved my listening and reading and in my opinion it´s the best option

  2. Hi!!

    I see you mean. In my opinion the best thing to improve your English is practice with native people in real environment about everyday things. You have to travel to the country where that language is the mother tongue and stay there some time. You're going to have the comunication need. With this typs you'll have improved your english level. Travel and live in England is ideal, but if you can't travel there, you already can practice if you have usual contact in your town and everyday speak with english people.

    I've improved my english. I've been seeing how I've advanced in learning while I'm working in a hotel. In the other hand, it's necessary to study too because you need to learn grammar and pronunciation.

  3. In my view, the best thing how to practise the language is speaking, reading and listenning english frequently.For instance,two years ago I went to an language exchange with English people,I had been speaking for one year,I spent a good experience and It was useful for me too.

    My advice is to do things of your daily routine in english you will improve it.
    Overall you should think although a short time and you can wacth your favourite film or serial in english.

    Then, if you do usually things like an english person,you will learn easily and quickly.A day somebody inspired to me :¨where there is a will,there is a way¨...to be honest with you,I think I´ll learn english as soon I can.

  4. Hi classmates
    To be honest the first thing you have to do it’s to study really hard, after that I believe that you should change the language to English on your Smartphone, laptop or any electronic devices, then your mind will work in English. Moreover, you must learn new vocabulary and expressions, for example, you could listen to English music and watch English films too. If you want you can put subtitles. This is really helpfull.
    Apart from this, of course it’s really necessary to speak with English people to improve your spoken English. I’ve spoken with two English friend, and this has helped me a lot.

    1. I totally agree with you. If I think about it better, what you say makes sense. It's better to study first to lay bases and rules. But I insist that to improve those bases, you need to practice the conversation daily. However it is you should mix all tips. That way you will get the best benefits of each one.

    2. Indeed, I can say that changing the language on one's mobile phone is helping some other students.

  5. Hi!
    The best form to improve my English It was change my devices languages.
    I changed it because I didn't understand many English words and I couldn't study correctly.
    I' ve changed the audio language of my TV and I've got better my pronunciation. For this reason I can watch English films and listen a plenty of English songs . At now I be able to translate it.
    Taking everything into account, if I do this exercise everyday, I' ll be able to understand foreign people.

  6. Hi!
    I believe the best thing that most improved english is watching serie or film. Your smust watch serie or that you like it, for example, I've watched a serie in english, it call "Once upon a time".
    I disagree with Enrique because when you were child you didn't learn to speak with a book. you spoke because you listened to your family, tv, radio...etc. You studied grammar after.
    Also, you will learn english, if you chat with english people. So you can improve your grammar and vocabulary even you can learn english expressions.
    Other thing could help you to learn english is travelling because you'll have to talk in english if you want them to help you.

  7. Hello classmate,

    I am reading all the tips to learn English and I think that is very interesting, I will practice some advice.

    From my point of view, I think it is very important to lose the shame when speaking in English, and make mistakes as many times as necessary.

    Therefore, improvising speeking whenever possible is very important.

    In past years, in this school there were exchange students from different countries, and whenever I had the opportunity I met with them, it was a good experience because I learned to improvise despite not knowing much vocabulary and having many grammatical failures. They helped me a lot with the most basic expressions to survive.

    We must not forget that we have to study hard to master the language.


    Best regards, see you in class
