hi everybody this is Misterduncan England
how are you today are you okay I hope so
are you happy I hope so welcome to the very first episode of my series of
English teaching videos before I begin we will take a look at some of the
common questions that often arise when talking about learning the English
language and more importantly learning it as a second language
so the first question must be why do we need to learn English of course one of
the reasons why we need to be able to speak English nowadays is because the
world is becoming smaller
thanks to the internet and our developing global economy more and more
people are using English as a common way to communicate with each other
so now it has become unavoidable that companies and large businesses will need
to employ people who can speak more than their own native language that is where
English comes in
it is now officially considered as an international language
of course learning anything is difficult and english is no exception
however there are ways to make the situation easier
I have come up with my own list of general rules for learning English do
you want to hear them
do you want to know what they are ok let's go
learning English takes time and patience
it cannot be rushed try to relax and take it easy
the most important thing you need in the beginning is a good vocabulary without
words
you have nothing to work with you must start with a strong foundation or base
and slowly build on it day by day
you must view English as a part of your body just as you would an R or a leg
it must become a part of your everyday life they practise is very important
do not worry about making mistakes in fact the more mistakes you make the more
you will learn from them just like learning to ride a bike
sometimes you fall off so what do you do you get back hard and try again
do not look at english as just another subject
your attitude to english and the way you view it will decide how well you
progress
just as we say in English no pain no game
the two most important words to remember when learning English our practise and
confidence practise English everyday and be confident you will find that the more
you use English the better your English will become and the more confident you
become then the more you will want to use it
make it a rule to tell yourself I can do it I can do it
yeah
please remember my lessons are aimed as everyone so hopefully you will find
something useful in each one
maybe you will find some of the words I use very easy but you will also see some
words that may be new to you remember my lessons are aimed as everyone even
teachers are very welcome to join in learning English should be a fun
experience and I hope with the help of my video lessons you will discover just
how much fun it can be i hope you enjoyed my first lesson
this is mr. Duncan in England saying thanks for watching and...bye bye for now.
