Most of us
being afraid to speak in English as a foreigner asked us something in English.
I met my two friends yesterday. They asked me to teach them English. They said
they don’t know what to say if an international student asked them direction.
I said to
them I believe they can speak or answering question about direction. The basic
thing about showing direction is about turning left or right and going straight
or going back. Anyway, most of us have learned English since we were very
little.
We just need a little courage to speak up. Don’t worry if you don’t pronounce
it right; speaking too slow or grammatical error. What you are saying is important
for them. No matter how slow you are, they are willing to listen and they have
to try to understand.
My motto is to make things simple as possible. For example if one asked you, “How are you?”
you can answer it “good”. Then, “How‘s your study?” and again you answer it good or
you have difficulty in studying, you can just said “bad”.
Whatever it
is don’t forget to read or listen anything in English to enrich your
vocabs(vocabulary). If you have a favourite movie that you are not bored to watch
it over and over again, keep watching but remember to get a movie with English
subtitles. I recommend you to find “A life in Japan” video in youtube because
they speak in easy English and it also with English subtitles. The stories in
it are quite interesting and that will makes you easily remember.
Do you remember
how you learned your mother tongue language? You didn’t start with learning how
to read and spelling, right? Your mother didn’t ask you to memorize this is a
television, this is a tree or teach how to spell it right? It is because we
heard everyday people said this thing is a television, they love watering the
trees and so on. Believe it or not we already how to speak in our mother tongue
language before we went to school.
About grammar? I tell you about it later. I am sure you want to write in English in a right way. I am not that good in English but I know easy English and I love sharing. See ya!
