hello I'm Julian opera from doing
english.com a good ask Julian question
came in I'm learning and learning and
learning yet I never reached the
advanced level a reader asks this one is
simple if you are learning and learning
and learning yet never improve it means
the method you are using is either not
right for your goals or you are learning
the wrong thing or there is something
seriously wrong going on up here in
terms of the mindset in the attitude
that you have improving in English
requires three things to be correct
you need a method which works for your
goals for example if you are trying to
speak natural sounding fluent English
and what you are doing is studying yet
more grammar rules everyday learning
about difficult tenses and all of that
stuff that you probably did when you're
at school memorizing yet more vocabulary
words usually from lists and big clever
sounding words that actually most native
speakers don't really understand or use
either well you're not going to get the
results that you want to get and I'll
give you a hint if that's what you are
doing you are probably making your
speaking problems worse not better you
also need to be learning the right thing
the materials that you use must give you
natural native like samples of the
English that you actually want to use in
the real world for example if you want
to get good at conversational English
and you're studying the newspaper well
totally different type of English
therefore what you are doing is
completely useless I did my PhD research
on this looking at the textbooks they
get used in schools and get used by a
lot of students and you know what the
language contained in those textbooks is
rubbish it's not like the language used
in the real world
therefore filling your head up with that
stuff
does nothing to help you speak better in
conversation you've got to use materials
that are matched
to the situations you want to use
English in if you want to be speaking in
conversation you need to be studying
materials rich in natural sounding
chunks of conversational English make
sense good you've also got to get your
attitude and your mindset right because
ultimately if you believe you can't do
it you won't do it
you won't make use of the opportunities
that come your way you won't do the
things in English that you could do and
therefore you won't get the results that
you want to get anyway even if you're
using the best method in the world and
the the you know the most amazing
materials in the world if your attitude
is telling you I can't do this and so
you don't do it then it all doesn't mean
anything it all makes no difference
