DrKrettin Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 By far the most effective way is to find a native English speaking girlfriend/boyfriend. You learn to speak by needing to express yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Externet Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Tune to television news as often as you can. Some channels use personnel chosen by their better-than-typical pronunciation/enunciation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could I solve that problem? It depends on how old you are. The older you get the more difficult it gets to learn a new language (learn it well) I can tell you what worked for me (english is not my native lanuage) and worked really well. I was droped into a public american school by my parents when I was in my teens. I hated them for it, I was an outsider, couldn't speak a word in english. During school hours I was reading books im my native language which drove my teachers nutts. Eventually TV took over my reading (I had acess only to american TV) and after about 3 months I started to communicate pretty well with my friends in school - I was pissed but had no choice. After about 6 months I spoke and wrote pretty well, after a year and a half I was indistinguishable from the natives. After 2,5 years I had problems with pronounciation in my native language which lasted about 3 months when I came back. It wasnt a real problem but people could hear that I have traces of english in my speach. I'm in my 40's now and obviously I lost the perfect american accent I had but I retained the english language skills on a level that I can easly communicate. All the credit for this goes to my parents. The answer to your question is: The easiest way to learn a new language (well) is to put youreself into a situation in which you have no choice but to learn it.
