5 the way to Improve English, though not the language "MOTHER"!
Learning a second language can be a very difficult and stressful task if you let it. However, the word in the book does not seem to apply well to real life situations. They are small and seemingly not an important part of showing people who will be in power is not only the language, but the culture of the people speaking can not be adequately expressed by words on paper.
So how do you learn the secrets to mastering the ability to articulate themselves in another language?
Here are 5 proven techniques that will help you improve your English without trying, if you learn to speak English as a second language. Do they really work? Yes.
I've tried them myself as I have had the chance to live is a place where English is not the primary language. I found it to be a fun, exciting, and pain in a good way to learn the language and culture. Culture only learn how the natives expressed their own words. Genuine accent, facial expressions, hand gestures, sighs, moans, groans, laughter, smirks, and other things that go along with the day-to-day conversation.
Regardless of how extensive or not your vocabulary is, if you master the ability to "sound" like you know the language, and he can speak, people will be less expensive to help you.
1. Watch Movies!
Always watch the movie fun to do. To get the most out of your movie watching experience, if your vocabulary is limited, watch movies in English which is very famous with the name in your own language so you always know what's happening. Try not to translate literally (see text and meaning it) because you will miss key conversations this way. However, looking at pictures and listening. Hearing all the words, look what happened in the picture. You see and hear the words you already know. Believe it or not, the words of others (the less you understand) will be the subconscious enter into you, and so on, accents and everything else that goes with what you see and hear.
As vocabulary grows, expand the movie of your choice for other film you want to see but it is only available in English. Try to be able to see this movie more than once if possible.
By location and type of film you intend to see, you will be able to experience different accents, and other cultural expressions of the English language. Pick and choose the things that you think will suit you. If it does not work out, and try to choose another! Have fun with yourself and your efforts.
2. Watch Soap Operas
A place where extreme expression and limited vocabulary meet! This is an interesting way to learn a foreign language. Any accessory that goes with the word expression that shows the soap opera. "Outrage" expressed by word, phrase or two, and maybe even after slap the face, they can not be understood in any language. "Love", a universal subject, or violence, good versus evil can be quickly and easily digested and enjoyed in the soap opera. In addition, the soap opera that is naturally designed to allow people tuning in just to pick up the story quickly. The characters are slick and easy to enjoy, "hate-able" so you will return again and again to see what happens (watch over and over again), and not only improve your English every time, but reinforce what you have learned.
3. Read Comics / Funny Papers
So do not stress! Images with words, or words with images, however you want to look at it, then a great way to learn! For each thought presented there are words that are in accordance with the drawings, and vice versa. It does not matter if you read comic books, or comic strips in the Sunday newspaper, read whatever will make you laugh and cause you to enjoy learning at the same time.
4. Children reading books
If you know any little kids between the ages of 5-8, try reading one of their books to them. Usually little kids know their favorite books in the liver, so if you stumble a bit, they will be able to help you.
If you enjoyed this method to improve your English, and you find a pleasure in itself, and then try to read some books Dr. Seuss. Rhyme that will challenge you, but once you master it, your English pronunciation, and delivery will be improved and enhanced.
5. Taking service occupations such as waiter or waitress, bartender, or a Salesman.
The type of work that can be done if you have enough skills, and how to say "I, we, he, she, they", etc. The only thing that matters is the working vocabulary of the other things that are relevant to specific tasks and goals .
In English:
For example, as a breakfast waitress, you want to be Able to ask if they want their eggs, "scrambled or fried", if they want "more coffee", if everything is "alright", do they want "anything else", and the total of their bill in their own language!
If you sell real estate, you'll want to incorporate words like "mortgage, loan, co-sign, 30 year fixed", etc.
If you sell shoes, you need words like "how does that feel", are they "too tight, too loose, to short in the toe, to big", etc.Misalnya, as servants breakfast, you will be asked if they want their eggs, "fried or fried", if they want to "coffe again", if everything is "alright", they want to do "anything else", and the total bill them in their own language!
If you sell real estate, you can enter words like "mortgage, loans, 30 year fixed", etc.
If you sell shoes, you need words such as "What are" they "are too tight, too loose, for short in the leg, for large", etc.
The longer you work at your job, the more you will improve the working vocabulary.
6. Learning two sentences and you'll be set for life. . . seriously!
"What do you say (blank)", in English (Spanish, French, etc.), and "What is?" (Point if you have to, and smile too). Smiling is a universal language. Once I learned how to ask the second question, I was on the way to a proficient in the language of my choice!
I can use a limited vocabulary to ask a question and then when I got my answer I will repeat it several times to make sure that I have said is true, and "BAMM" I have a new vocabulary word. And, as I asked my questions to the best of my ability in the native tongue, the natives realized my sincere desire to learn, and help me!
7. What happens if you make a mistake?
Nothing. The world will not end, and you are not ashamed of themselves to the point where you can not show the face again. We are sorry if only of what is called, or to laugh at yourself, make corrections, and are calculated as a learning experience.
Experience is the Best Teacher ..!

Not always poignant cry sometimes that means pain that accompanies happy we do not realize. so at least we know what the real pain when we feel the tears, this is the real happiness.
How no meaning in life when we have no tears, laughter may be, never grasps the meaning of true tears dry of tears.
Cry firmly if it were to be what we want now and closeness that is always there. There are times when we struggle to pursue your dreams, there are times when we take the course of destiny.
The ship has sailed, and too stupid to keep up, sometimes in life we have to occasionally be a fool, at least we can learn what the meaning of life.
