Learning English Beyond the Pages -Fatema Tania

To learn any language, a book or academic support is the most effective and popular way, but it is not the only way. English is an international language. If anyone is capable of speaking English, he will be capable of communicating with the whole world. English is the second language in Bangladesh. From childhood to higher education, we try to learn English. A book always provides the basic tools for learning the English language. But to learn, speak, and understand English is not the only way. To learn and understand English, there are huge ways.
Speaking and learning are considered significant tools of communication. So when we communicate with others, we should try to understand the feelings of the language. Books lay the groundwork and facilitate the creation of connections between various factors, ultimately enabling us to master any language. Here I have discussed the issues that will help us learn English in ways that do not involve books.

Enclosed in English

Living in an English-speaking country is not necessary to immerse yourself in English. Make English a way of life, such as having conversations with family and friends and watching movies, dramas, and news. Interpret your all-day-long activities, whatever you do. This trick is very influential in speaking English.

Make a circle with an English speaker

Make a circle and form friendships with English-speaking people. Work as an interpreter or volunteer for international organisations and clubs. Share your views in English on the social media platform. Working as a tourist guide and making a documentary in English is also helpful for developing speaking skills. More communication with the masses is also helpful to enrich the vocabulary.

Avoid typical methods and make fun of learning

In most cases, we make our lives boring by learning and memorising grammar, rules, and regulations. Just make yourself free from books and have fun learning the language. Just observe, think, understand, and feel the nature of the situation; try to speak naturally and be vocal. When you learn English quickly, you will find it easier to capture on your own.

Behave like an actor

Lack of confidence and shyness are big problems when speaking in the English language. Behave like an actor, and also get inspiration from your favourite actors. Confidently start to speak in English, never thinking about what other people are thinking. Try to stand in the mirror, express your feelings, and describe any events. This trick is very helpful to build confidence to speak naturally.

To be a good speaker, you have to become a good listener

A foreign accent is an embarrassing reality for a learner. In this case, everybody should throw away their shyness and walk with confidence. ‘What someone will think about me’ or ‘embarrassing smiles’ is nothing. Accents are a common problem all around the world. Practicing is the best solution for this problem.
Expose yourself to singing songs, watching documentaries, practicing with natives, and conversing as much as you can. English sounds are different in different countries. So for better improvement, you have to follow the British or American style. To become a good speaker, you should listen more. Listening will help you to improve your accent and vocabulary.

Storytelling and attachment to visual

People refer to storytelling and creating connections with visual facts as the game-changers of English learning. It’s time to tell everyone everything that you see, hear, and feel around you. Use English for the purposes of your life. You must explain your actions and motions in English from early morning to night.
English will distort your brain, so strive to recount or elucidate in detail. You should try to talk about the events of your life. Storytelling is a good option. You may create a blog or online portal where you share your story and also make a group where you will present any interesting issues to friends. It’s very helpful to learn English with passion. The visual technique also works significantly. Explaining pictures or videos will help you learn new words and events and play a potential role in speaking like a native speaker. Give voice to documentaries, too.

Be social and more communicative

Social attachment is another way to improve your English proficiency. The more you speak to others, the more you learn. To build capability, you start to speak confidently. Public speaking, debate, social gathering with friends, and practicing English are very effective ways to improve yourself. Create online speaking groups with people from different countries. This will help create online speaking groups with people from different countries. ild diversities of language proficiency. Social communication also helps to improve accent qualities and listening skills. To become a good speaker, communication is the best way. Fluency in speaking always depends on regular practice because practice makes a man perfect.

Learning English without a book or with one

Books are always important for learning the English language. Not only the English language but also all kinds of knowledge are based on books. Books help lay the foundation for learning the English language. Without a book, learning is impossible. Books help to know the basics of the language, like grammar, phases, articles, punctuation, phonetics, and many other things. Books do not have any alternatives. Reading is very important to know the language. It helps to increase knowledge. But a book can’t make an entire contribution to becoming a good speaker. To become a good speaker and well-informed person in the English language, you have to address the issues that I have explained below.

Many people are well-educated and have proper knowledge of the English language. But they can’t speak and are not capable of communicating with others. In some cases, they are also not capable of understanding native speakers. But many people around the world don’t have any grammatical knowledge, and they don’t have any idea of phonetics. But they are communicating fantastically. Therefore, the fundamental steps are to read books and, concurrently, strive to establish a connection with the English language. Make an attachment to the English language in your life; it will be easier to learn and speak English.
