Why does English take so long to learn? Well, it doesn't have to. Let's take a look at...
How To Learn English FAST!
To learn English fast, we need to understand what it is, what it's
made of. What are its ingredients? And it turns out that there are only three things to learn.
Words, or vocabulary, rules, or grammar, and sounds, pronunciation.
Let's take a look at that first part of English... Words.
In English, there are only eight types of words. Nouns, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs,
verbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and articles. That's it,
no more, just eight. So, to learn English fast, you need to understand word types.
It's really important that when you look at a word in a sentence, you know what type of word it is.
What type of word is this? It's a noun. What type of word is this? It's a pronoun.
This one? Adjective. This? Adverb. What about this word? That's a verb. And this word?
Preposition. What about this one? Conjunction. And finally, what's this word? Article.
That's it. There are only eight different types of words in English. In the description below,
you'll find a PDF of the most commonly used words in English. Download this list

which will speed up your language learning progress. Okay, so we've looked at the
importance of learning the different English word types. Let's now take a closer look at... Rules.
So, once you have the words, you then need to work out how to change the word according
to English rules. And there are a few basic rules. Nouns can show one boy, or more than one
boys. Pronouns can be masculine, he ,feminine, she ,or neuter, it.
Adjectives can be regular, tall, comparative, taller, or superlative,
tallest. Prepositions show location, on, movement, across, or time, at.
Conjunctions join ideas, and, or, but yet, so. Articles show specificity. A boy
versus the boy. And verbs can change a lot to show when, eat, ate, will eat.
So my second biggest tip for learning English fast is focus on these three verb types.
Present Simple, he eats, past simple, he ate, and present perfect, he has eaten.
There are nine different verb types in English, and they're very confusing, but there are three
that are super important. The other six we hardly ever use. So make sure that you focus on the
Present Simple, the past simple and the present perfect. Okay, let's now talk about... Sounds.
In English, there are 44 individual sounds like /p/, or /m/ or /d/.
And then there are also 144 combined sounds like /spl/ or /sm/ or /st/. The good news is you
already know most of these sounds, because they're in your first language. So,
concentrate on the sounds NOT found in your first language.
In total, you probably only need to learn about 30 or 40 new sounds because, as I said, you already
know the other sounds. Indians, for example, will need to focus on the /v/ sound like violin. /v/.
Italians will need to practice the /th/ sound like think? /th/.
and Koreans will need help with the /l/ sound like lemon. /l/.
So what are the three parts of English, the three ingredients? Do you remember what they were?
Words, rules and sounds.
