Now English is an international language, and many people at least once wanted to speak it fluently. Someone needs it for work, someone dreams of moving to an English-speaking country, and some just want to travel - without knowledge of at least one foreign language, this, unfortunately, will be quite problematic. So how do you learn English while surprising others with your dedication and knowledge?

The two most common ways are:
Which everyone has thought about at least once:
1. Hire a Tutor or Study English in courses, For example: в школа native-english.com.ua. This is really useful, but not everyone likes it: there is a clear schedule and strict control over how hard a person studies. These methods can both discourage the desire to learn a language and, conversely, inspire even more than before.
Однако, если заниматься с учителями нет возможности или желания, существует способ очень похожий, но требующий больше самостоятельности:
2. купите Books designed for learning English. Here, however, no one will cheer you up: you need more willpower not to give up. And this is the main snag of learning a language from textbooks.
The third tip – Watch movies and TV shows in English with subtitles, or better, if the level allows, without them. It is worth noting that this method develops vocabulary much more than grammar - so you can't do without any other activities. It is better to start with children's cartoons, but this may require patience. Not every adult likes to chew up the plot for five-year-olds, but since what is happening on the screen will not interest you, it is much easier to focus specifically on words and phrases. By the way, videos by English-speaking bloggers on You Tube are also perfect.
A similar method to the previous one is 4. Read books in English. Here, of course, you need either a high level of knowledge of the language, or a translator (dictionary), as well as great perseverance. It is better to start with children's books and fairy tales. If you plan (or dream) to move to an English-speaking country, you can find and read newspapers and magazines on the Internet. The tourist will like it less, but in any case it will be useful. Another option is comics: if the plot is too exciting in films, and you only want to sleep from reading books.
Last but not least, useful advice.
5. Общайтесь с иностранцами. Yes, it sounds strange and even impossible to some extent, but anyone who has access to the Play Market, AppStore or at least the Internet can do it. In the first two cases, there are many applications for communicating with foreigners, for example, HelloTalk. This is an application created for language exchange: an American teaches a Russian English, and a Russian in return talks about the intricacies of his native language. By the way, there are also apps like Memrise – learning different languages, but without the participation of other people. In the case of the Internet, forums and chat rooms will help to communicate with people around the world.
The five tips listed above are just a small part of all the opportunities for learning English. All these methods will help in learning any other language. The main components of knowledge are desire and purposefulness. Without them, learning will not bring any pleasure.
