TIPS FOR LEARNING ENGLISH

Watch Sesame Street. It will teach you to say simple English sentences and to understand the words that change the meaning of things. Words like if, then, when, can change what a sentence says.

Watch Electric Company, which will teach you reading and spelling simple words.

Both these programs are rather fun to watch.

A friend who teaches languages says that you can practice speaking English on the telemarketers who call to sell you something. REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BUY ANYTHING. She says the salesmen have to be patient and try to understand you so it is an excellent way to practice your English.

Speaking into a tape recorder can help you listen to how you actually sound. This can help make you speak with less of an accent.

I also recommend playing an old adventure game where the people talk and the program also writes out the words the people are saying. I would recommend King's Quest 5.
