How to Stop postponing learning English for later

Tip 1. Decide why you English

Continue the phrase: "I want to learn English, because ..." Do not embellish and do not try to formulate beautiful. Be honest.

"I want to learn English, because it's good for my career" - too abstract. In this proposal, there is no energy.

Find your true motivation.

"I want to learn English, because I dream to transfer to our office in Dublin" - a much truer and more effective. Such a pulse will push to the real action.

If introspection does not give results, make an free introductory lesson in Skyeng. An experienced methodologist will help define the purpose. Sometimes an outsider manage to formulate what does not add up in your mind.

Tip 2. Take responsibility

But motivation alone is not enough. Say you're on fire to get a job in international companies began to eagerly study textbooks, scored smartphone applications and so on. But the self-energy usually lasts for one to two weeks.

To get out of your comfort zone, you need to feel someone responsible.

Otherwise overpower laziness, a burning desire to become a pipe dream.

Some promise to provide subscribers to learn English in social networks, the other - the best friend. Both are bad. Post a promise is removed in a single click, and friend always go down in position, if you are tired or have "already full of problems."

Another thing - the responsibility to the instructor. In Skyeng over two thousand professional teachers. It's not just people who know English perfectly, namely teachers. They will be put to you specific tasks to be individual training program and visualize progress.

Teacher in Skyeng selected taking into account the wishes and psycho student. At the same time they work in all time zones: to come off due to "scheduling mismatch" will not work. If you would like to engage in on Saturday at ten o'clock, will.

Tip 3. Make your English daily ritual

Analyze your schedule: how much time each day you are willing to devote to English?

Let's say you have a few hours on Saturday and Sunday. Assign it the lesson with the teacher. But in any case, do not forget about the English in the remaining days.

That business has become a habit, you need to repeat it regularly, and maintain positive emotions.

English should be the same for you in this pleasant ritual, like a morning coffee or shower before bedtime.

Even if during the week you can learn no more than 15-20 minutes, use them! Just spread the load. For example, on Monday and Tuesday - honing grammar, Wednesday - Training of pronunciation, Thursday and Friday - homework and repetition of words.

In Skyeng basic skills training automated. Virtually every skill has its own mobile application. For example, the simulator allows us to improve the English words vocabulary. There, you and the image to activate the visual memory, and synchronization with Vimbox platform, and Ebbinghaus forgetting curve method. A simulator teaches listening skills to listen and understand the English language.

Conveniently! You can engage in any free minute, for example on the way to work or in the queue.

Tip 4. Do not let yourself get bored

Even if there is an educational program and interactive element of the game, at some point, the brain gets tired of the flow of new information and begins to sabotage the sessions.

Studies, however interesting it may be, is still learning.

Alternate information content to the entertainment. Watch movies and TV shows, listen to your favorite music. Especially since all of this can be done with advantage.

We have a system of smart Skyeng subtitle: you simply turn your favorite movie on Netflix, «Amediateke" or Amazon Video and translate unfamiliar words directly during playback.

New word gets in your personal dictionary so that you could then learn it through a mobile application.

Even steeper with the songs: Listen to your favorite English-speaking singers in the "Yandex. Music "and teaching texts. To do this, there is a browser-extension Skyeng Lyrics. It syncs with your playlists and provides a literary translation of songs.

Tip 5. Constantly benefit

Do not wait until will pass English course completely. Use this knowledge at every opportunity.

A foreigner on the street to ask for directions? Explain! Let the errors and by hand, but it's your conversational practice. The chief asked to make a presentation in English? Do not give in! Good try more and get a bonus. A friend asked to order her dress on the UK site? Just do it!

In Skyeng teachers even give the job to communicate with the real world. For example, to call the hotel or to book a table at a restaurant in English.

The more clearly the benefits, the greater the effort to learn a foreign language.

The use of English services and programs, as well as surfing in the English-speaking segment of the Internet - a practice in its purest form. If you are afraid, "somewhere not to press" install of Google Chrome extension Vimbox Translate.

We met an unfamiliar word, hover over it. Skyeng prompt translation. We met a second or third time? Add it to your personal dictionary and learn through the appropriate application.
