Improving your English
How can I improve my English?
A technique most people do is speaking to yourself in front of a mirror. It works, not only to learn a new language, but for any situation in life. It makes you feel more confident. Imagine that you are trying to discuss any topic with another person. You can repeat the same speech multiple time. If you practice speaking aloud to yourself until you do it right, that might come up in conversations with others.
Everyone makes mistakes when learning a new language. Even in our own language, we make grammatical mistakes while speaking or writing. The truth is that most people don’t like to follow grammar rules, especially when we are speaking informally with relatives or friends.
When learning a new language such as English, things can happen, and embarrassment occurs as the result of a spoken or written error, we shouldn´t worry about it. Making mistakes is part of our learning process, and it is important to learn from our mistakes to be better and do better next time.
