Does that mean that you should not learn English grammar? Well, not really. You can\u2019t do well in tests if you don\u2019t know grammar rules. Students trying to do well in tests like TOEFL and IELTS must learn grammar rules. But if you are learning English with the sole objective of being a good speaker, you don\u2019t necessarily have to be a grammar pundit.<\/p>\n
Native English speakers use certain structures to express ideas. These conversational structures or word combinations are often called collocations. Although many ESL students have a good vocabulary, they don\u2019t know many conversational structures. Just knowing the meanings of words won\u2019t make you a fluent speaker, but knowing these structures will. You can, for example, make hundreds of correct sentences using a structure like \u2018I would like to\u2019 or \u2018Let me\u2019.<\/p>\n
Learning these phrases is a must if you want to be fluent speaker. You can find plenty of useful phrases in our\u00a0English speaking\u00a0section.<\/p>\n
Different languages have different word orders. For example, in most Indian languages the normal word order is subject + object + verb. In English, it is different. The normal word order of a simple English sentence is: subject + verb + object. What this means is that sentences in your mother tongue cannot be translated into English word for word. Instead, try to learn the expressions that are unique to English and use them as they are. Don\u2019t make modifications.<\/p>\n
Of all the language skills, speaking is the one you should learn first. As you probably know babies learn to speak first. They learn reading and writing much later. The problem with ESL students is that they can\u2019t follow this normal order for learning languages: they learn to read and write first. Many ESL students don\u2019t practice speaking at all. Needless to say, they can hardly communicate their ideas in English, although they know all the grammar rules in the book.<\/p>\n
ESL students can\u2019t change this situation, though. When you learn a second language, you can\u2019t start with speaking. What you can do is to grab every opportunity to speak English. Practice speaking loud until you become comfortable. If you can\u2019t find English speaking people in your area try to find them online. By practicing your English speaking skills, you will become a fluent English speaker.<\/p>\n
Learning a language is not a difficult task. Language is a skill we are all born with. As you probably know all of us can speak at least one language. Even those lacking in brain power are able to speak languages. All that you need is some practice.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t pay too much attention to Grammar rules Does that mean that you should not learn English grammar? Well, not really. You can\u2019t do well in tests if you don\u2019t know grammar rules.
