- The most important thing to remember is to be confident in your ability to read the words.
- Next if you are having trouble pronouncing the word, try to break it up into syllables.
- Make sure you have a Chinese/English dictionary. You can use this to check on words or to practice words. They usually have pronunciation keys.
- When working with TutorABC, try to look at your lesson before you enter the class. Make notes about words you are having trouble with and questions that you may have.
- During your lesson write down any words that you have trouble understanding. Either look at the teacher’s notes on the slides or look in the dictionary for the definition. Practices using this word in different types of sentences until you are sure of the meaning.
- If possible buy a Thesaurus, this will help you to interchange words and possibly understand the meaning of the word better. For example: error can be interchanged with mistake or oversight.
- Always, always ask as many questions that you need to during your lesson to understand words.
- Try to relax and have some fun during your lesson. It will relax everyone in the session and it is easier to learn if you are relaxed.
- Set a goal of learning one English word per day. Use this word as much as possible. If you are comfortable learn more than one.
- Remember no one expects you to be perfect. If you know all of the language and how to use it then you wouldn’t need to take classes.
- The English language is said to be the hardest language to learn. There are many people in the United States that cannot speak the language correctly. This makes you one step ahead of them because you want to learn it and how to use it.
- One last word of advice, everyone makes mistakes. Correct the problem and do not dwell on it just continue to learn.
