Reading will help in the repetition of seeing what English words look like. We provide comprehensive reading materials that suit you and will definitely involve conversations that you would hear in everyday life. Remember that reading out loud will help you pair the sound of words to the text on the page. People also say that we learn to write best by reading. You will get an idea of the different styles of writing and see how to use the words appropriately. We are dedicated to help you improve your grammar skills as well. If you need grammar corrections for those you have written, you can get them right away from your teacher so you won’t make the same mistake in the future.
Reading will also help you expand your vocabulary. We suggest that you build your vocabulary everyday by memorizing new words and repeating each word over and over to reinforce the memory of those words. We will explain each word/expression thoroughly and give you synonyms for you to understand what the word means easily. Keep an ongoing list on your computer or in a notebook of words paired with their synonyms so that you can build strong variety in your English. Online classes will help you practice your new vocabulary and phrases. Since you won’t know what your teacher will say next, it is a great practice for thinking quickly, as you would when speaking English at work or abroad.
Listen intently to a variety of English content anywhere you can. Paying close attention to sources like the news, popular songs and everyday conversations can greatly increase your knowledge of words, word patterns, phrases and expressions. You may also record your classes for playback later. By focusing on the audio alone, you can learn a great deal about inflections and nuances of specific words. Online translators can also be a great resource as they can clarify your understanding and pronunciation of a word. If you don’t get the pronunciation of the word, feel free to ask your teacher and we will be more than happy to guide you.
Hearing and watching characters in films and TV will help your English skills immensely. It is an entertaining way to pick up on visual cues from the characters, like their facial expressions or their tones, paired with the words they are saying.
