What could you suggest to do while learning English as a second language and how to do it better, depending on your own experience? What language do you think in?

Answer 1

Well sometimes the main and the first problem is - fear. Fear to speak, fear to listen, fear like panic. So, it is important to solve this problem first of all. My opinion is - every beginner must have a person, who can encourage him to learn and to speak. It can be a teacher in class or a tutor in person.

Answer 2

Listen to everything in English: podcasts, music, movies, TV shows (You can turn on close captioning in your language). Try practicing speaking with others, especially those fluent in English. Practice makes perfect!
