Are You Improving In Your English Skills?

Top 5 Reasons Why Your English Isn’t Improving

Reason #1: You don't study the language.

In the world of the future, the new illiterate will be the person who has not learned how to learn. - Alvin Toffler, US writer

Reason #2: You don’t apply what you’ve learned to real life situations.

One cannot guess how a word functions. One has to look at its use and learn from that - Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), Austrian engineer and philosopher

Reason #3: You don't review what you have learned from studying or real life situations to maintain the new language.

We remember what we understand; we understand only what we pay attention to; we pay attention to what we want. - Edward Bolles, American humorist and author

Reason #4: You rely on your native language over the use of English.

I hear—I forget, I see—I learn, I do—I understand. 

Reason #5: You're focused on "mistakes" and would rather avoid a mistake and become discouraged than to try and possibly make mistakes.

You can do one of two things; just shut up, which is something I don't find easy, or learn an awful lot very fast which is what I tried to do. - Jane Fonda, actress
