11+ Quick Steps To Master English

everinsta.com – We often think, “If there were a quick way to learn English, I would definitely search for the secret to learning English quickly.”

There is indeed a secret to how someone can quickly learn English in just one day, but many do not believe it or are unwilling to share their secrets.

I discovered these tips when I was living in Germany last year. I am not someone who is super fluent in English, achieving a TOEFL score of 600. My TOEFL score was only 477 for PBT and 4.5 for IELTS. When I was in Germany, where they are much more fluent in English, I felt intimidated and insecure about speaking English.

Imagine, an old lady at the main station in Germany. When I asked where the Berlin Cathedral was with my broken English, speaking slowly because I thought she wouldn’t understand, she answered fluently and with an impressive accent, explaining how to get there and which train to take.

I immediately smiled and admired the old lady for her fluency in English. When I asked a friend, who is a native German, why they could speak English so fluently, he shared the secret tips on how to quickly learn English in just one day.

If you’re curious, let’s check out the secrets below. This method is perfect for those who have an English proficiency test tomorrow:

1. Read Vocabulary
Are you reluctant to read any vocabulary in English? If so, congratulations, because you have already refused to learn English quickly! Do you know the English word for “minyak lampu” (lamp oil)? If you do, that’s great. If not, what will you do? Learn!

You don’t need years or months to learn English. Just know the names of objects or English vocabulary related to your daily routine in one day. You will become fluent in English in just one day!

2. Listen to English Songs
No need to go to English clubs every week to practice listening. Just listen to English songs. How is this possible? It turns out that in just one day, you can improve your listening skills! Listen to enjoyable English songs.

Listen and enjoy repeatedly, then guess the lyrics. Once you have memorized the melody and guessed the lyrics, compare them to the original lyrics. How many mistakes did you make? If many, try again and again. In just one day, you’ll find it easier to follow English listening exercises.

3. Write Everything in English
Are you still shy about writing something in English? How can you become fluent in English in one day? Start with simple things and move to more complex ones. For example, write an introduction in English, type SMS in English, write love letters in English, and even post statuses and comments on social media in English.

Do this for an entire day. See what happens! You have taken a significant step forward! After all, English is about communication! If you spend a whole day writing everything in English, you can already live abroad. Remember, one day with very detailed events, from waking up to going to sleep!

4. Speak in English Full-Time!
When we want to learn English quickly in one day, we are often reluctant to speak English all day. Only at certain moments, such as during English lessons. Of course, one day is not enough to learn English.

Try practicing speaking English fully with everyone and everywhere. Pretend that everyone around you is a foreigner who doesn’t use Indonesian. You are required to speak English. Do this even when you talk to yourself. Just one day is enough to start speaking English, even with native speakers!

5. Watch Movies
Are you still watching Western movies with Indonesian subtitles? Or do you even dislike Western movies? Now is the time for your life to be filled with English. Watch Western movies in English without Indonesian subtitles. If you find it difficult, learn from the body language of the actors.

In real life, when you meet foreigners, there will be no subtitles under them when they speak. Keep practicing until you catch the point of the sentences spoken. One day of watching Western movies without subtitles will train you 10 times better in learning English!

6. Repeat Often!
If you repeat these activities, speaking English fully for a day, you will become fluent in English. The essence of learning English is for daily life communication with foreigners. If in one day you have already spoken English fully, you can communicate with foreigners!

7. Use Language Learning Apps
Take advantage of language learning apps like Duolingo, Babbel, or Rosetta Stone. These apps provide interactive and enjoyable exercises and allow you to learn anytime, anywhere. Many of these apps also have features that let you speak and receive immediate feedback.

8. Join English Language Communities
Find and join English language communities or study groups, both online and offline. By joining a community, you can practice speaking, ask questions about things you don’t understand, and get study tips from fellow members.

9. Watch Tutorials and Online Courses
There are many free English tutorials and courses on platforms like YouTube, Coursera, and Khan Academy. Choose a course that matches your level and follow the lessons regularly. You can also learn from native speakers who often give tips and tricks in their videos.

10. Read News in English
Start reading news in English from sites like BBC, CNN, or The New York Times. This not only increases your vocabulary but also helps you understand sentence structures and the use of language in a more formal and current context.

11. Write a Daily Journal in English
Make it a habit to write a daily journal in English. Write about your daily activities, feelings, and thoughts in English. This helps improve your writing skills and forces you to think in English, which will overall enhance your language mastery.
