English as a Second Language

Website Review by: maria_80     


 
English as a Second Language can be very difficult for some people. I learned that one of the key words for
learning English is to listen. It’s very helpful to listening to another person and tries to speak English with them because we can hear words that we have never heard before. This way can help you to learn the pronunciation of the words. Therefore, if you listen to another person when they speak English could be a temptation of translating into our native language. This becomes stronger when you hear a word that you don’t understand because you tent to pronounce the word perfect with our accent. It is also helpful when you listen very carefully when somebody is speaking English because you can learn the correct pronunciation. Listening while others speak can help your mind establish a vocabulary which can help you when you are trying to speak your own English. You have to understand that speaking second language can be difficult but if you listen to your self while you speak you will find your self that you can pronounce right and whit the correctly accent. Remember that listening to others and your self will help you speak the correct words. Speak slowly and pronounce the word as is not in your native language.
