People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I'll share some of my experiences 1you. I once took an English course for one school year in Peking University, but I mostly2to learn English myself.
One thing I can tell you is that once you've started learning, you should try to think 3 English as much as possible. If you see something when you're riding your bike or walking down the street, 4think about "How would I say them in English?" At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now when I'm in America, and for most of the time, I will think in English and speak it5. It's amazing how much this helps.
For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn't want to make mistakes. Finally, I6it. And while traveling in America, I'd try to hang out with friends who couldn't speak Chinese, so that I'd have no choice but7English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving 8.
9, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you're writing, and ask them to give you some suggestions for improvement.
The suggestions above are really helpful for those10want to learn English well. Try them and you are sure to improve your English soon.
