maxenglish.tips MASTER VOCABULARY How to learn the vocabulary that natives speakers use My name is Max and I’m from Argentina. Like you, I’m a non-native En-glish speaker. I started to learn English in 2011 (yes, that recently) when after 2 years of very casually flirting with the idea of learning this lan-guage, I decided to get serious about it. I became fluent a couple of months after that, and from those days until now I’ve learned a lot more. Because I am not a native speaker, I can understand all the difficulties and frustrations that you have or are going through. Below I’m going to list some of the thoughts that have crossed my mind (and I’m sure yours too!) in my efforts to reach fluency: > How do I even begin? > I can’t speak! It’s so hard! > How the heck did they become that fluent? Will I ever reach fluency? That’s me in the red t-shirt. > OMG! I’m gonna make a fool out of myself! > When will I ever understand movies without subtitles! > They speak so fast I can’t understand Fortunately, I’ve always found different ways to overcome all those difficulties and now I can’t wait to share with you all about them. In this ocassion I will only focus on the vocabulary acquisition aspect of learning English. Per-haps another time we will get into the other many different things that go into learning English.

We assign words to specific objects or concepts. Then, with grammar, we organize these words in a way that makes sense. And lastly, pronunciation is how we turn these ordered sequence (grammar) of words (vocabulary) into sounds that can be understood by the listener. That’s how we speak. vocabulary + grammar + pronunciation = language we can hear and speak One thing is the vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation you naturally and progressively learn from the day your brain starts to absorb language. But one very different thing is the language you start to learn as a human being who is past his or her childhood. This is when the following questions start to puzzle millions of people around the world who have the desire to speak a second language: 1- How do I learn new words and not forget them? 2- How do I learn all these grammatical structures to speak perfectly? 3- How do I speak as fast as natives and lose my accent? 5 maxenglish ... - tailieumienphi.vn
