How To Naturally Learn English Like A Child | 4 Secret To Learn English

How To Naturally Learn English Like A Child
How To Naturally Learn English Like A Child
  • Have you ever wondered why you can speak your native language fluently but when it comes to English most of us fumble?
    Is it that your mother tongue is comparatively easier than English. Think again is it easier or you find it easy because you have been speaking it from childhood.
  • We feel more comfortable with our native language because we have listened and adapted it from as long as we can remember. Now, imagine if you have had learned English similarly, wouldn’t your English be as flawless as well?

We have grown up without really getting comfortable with English. So what can be done now to make English our strength? Why don’t we learn from children only, the right mantra to learn any language. The moment a child is born we start speaking to them, mostly to soothe them and to shower our love on them. As they grow, we start talking to them more frequently showing them the fan, the light, their tummy, their nose. Babies gently begin to memorize these words and understand their meanings. When they turn a little older, they start calling things around them by their name.
Gradually progressing from one word, they learn to speak the whole sentence and they actually learn all this by constantly listening to us, if we are conversing in Hindi then they’ll learn Hindi, if Bengali then Bengali, Gujarati then Gujarati even if the parents use Hinglish in their conversation, then they’ll learn Hinglish.

Lesson No. 1. Listen, listen and listen.

The more you’ll listen, the better your brain will grab that language. You have a varied variety of options – English songs, movies, Tv shows, news, online shows, videos, speeches, interviews, audio novels, anything and everything that features English as the main language.

 

It is not that easy to consistently listening to English as it is sounding to you. Many times we do not understand what the speaker has fluently said in English. We have the solution to this problem as well, moreover not just one but three.

 

First – If someone can talk to you in English regularly, make them your new best friend and listen to them as much as possible.

 

Second – Start slow, concentrate on Indian English news channels, Interviews of Indians in English as mostly due to accent we understand them easily.

 

Third – Listen to songs after reading the lyrics or watch once with subtitles and then without it for a better understanding of what they have said.

Lesson no. 2. Repeat.

A child firstly don’t know what a fan is? They are told the same thing repeatedly by showing the fan that ‘this is a fan’. Similarly to make your brain register English better, listen to the same thing more than a few times. Exactly the way you know the dialogues of your favorite movie by heart, in the same manner, you should get well versed with these English sentences as well.

Lesson no. 3. Practice.

A stage comes when children become COPYCAT and they start to repeat whatever you say. Actually, they are adding those words in their vocabulary so that they can use them when required ever after.
The same thing you have to do, just spell again and again what you hear. Automatically you will feel the improvements in your pronunciation, you’ll discover more new words and above all, you will automatically start learning the proper use of a word as well.

Lesson no. 4. Lose your fear.

A child isn’t afraid of making mistakes or asking questions, adopt the same attitude. Firstly, you will have to overcome of your fear of speaking English.
Secondly, if you do not understand something or meaning of any word then without any hesitation ask the meaning of that word or phrase. It might happen that you get to gain something new in asking your query.

A Role Play

How To Impress A Girl On Your First Date With Your English
How To Impress A Girl On Your First Date With Your English
Vanesha– Hi Mansi .
Mansi– Hey Vanesha, How are you? You look sad? Don’t tell me your date wasn’t good.
Vanesha– Do not ask me, my mind is stressed.
Mansi– What happened? Just tell me?
Vanesha– He was hot, good looking but the moment he started talking I was like Oh my God he needs to learn how to impress his date and also how to talk in English.

  • So, here is again an English role play experience to guide you ahead in your journey of speaking fluent English.
  • As you have already seen that Vanesha had a bad date experience, therefore in this blog we’ll discuss how to impress a girl with fluent English on your first date.
Perfect!, Let’s re-play the date here
So here Mansi is going to play the character of Vanesha’s date “Rohan”.Mansi(Rohan)– Hey Vanesha!
Vanesha– Hey Rohan so good to see you.
Rohan– I’m good too.
Vanesha– What ….??
Rohan– Bahar bahut garmi thi .
Vanesha– Yes but this place is quite interesting. I love the ambience. Don’t you like it?
Rohan– Yes..Yes.. I like it. Are you still studying?
Vanesha – Yes I’m a student of Geography in college. BTW you asked: Am I still studying? Do I look old?
Rohan– No no, I do not mean that. Mera Matlab wo nhi tha. Ab is Geography me padhne k liye hai hi Kya?.
Vanesha – There’s so much to explore…
Rohan– Achaaaa ab Geography ki class mat do. Kuch order kare?
Vanesha – Ya, sure I’ll have cold coffee.
Rohan– Ooo…Waiter? Madam k liye cold coffee or mere liye chai.
Vanesha – So what are your hobbies?
Rohan– I play cricket mast din Bhar match dekhta hu . aa what are your hobbies?
Vanesha – Well, I love writing poetry in the free time.

Vanesha – Rohan, I meant I’m going to the washroom? Toilet? (Irritated)
Rohan– Okay jao jao ( embarrassed )
Vanesha – Oh my god so that was a horrible date experience. I hope I meet a decent guy next time.So, from this roleplay, it is clear that Girl was totally annoyed with the guy on the date and of course, it was equally embarrassing for the guy as well.
Now, let’s see how could Rohan make a good impression on this date? And this time Vanesha will play the role of Rohan to show us how she wanted Rohan to behave on the date.

Ideal Conversation

Vanesha(Rohan)– Hi Mansi, I’m Rohan.
Mansi– Hey Rohan, it’s nice to see you.
Rohan-Pleasure is all mine, So how are you Mansi?
Mansi– Well, I’m pretty good thanks. What about you?
Rohan– Well, I am absolutely fine. BTW great choice for the place – I love the ambience.
Mansi– Yes I often come here with my friends, their food and hospitality are top notch.
Rohan– Oh great! So Mansi, what would you like to have? Are you a tea or a coffee person?
Mansi– Well, I’m a chai lover! Especially the Ginger tea.
Rohan– Wow, well I would like to have cold coffee, the summers are killing me.
Mansi– Sure we don’t even have to look at the menu.
Rohan– Excuse me, please? ( calling waiter )
Could you please get one ginger tea and one cold coffee?
Mansi– Even my mother likes cold coffee and rest all of us are chai person.
Rohan– okay, That’s so sweet, in my family everybody likes to have coffee.
Mansi– So, who else is in your family?
Rohan– I have one younger brother and my parents. And in your family?
Mansi– Well, we have quite joint family. Chacha Chachi aur dadi also live with us. I have one elder sister also.
Rohan– Wow I must say you’re very lucky. We are a nuclear family. My parents had a love marriage. They used to teach in the same college.
Mansi– Wow, mine had an arranged marriage. So do you believe in love?
Rohan– Oh Yes I do…

And the conversation went on and on. So, guys that’s how you can make a good impression on your first date.

 

Conclusion

Regardless of how well you dressed up on your date, or even apply the best perfume you have but all these things are useless until you don’t know how to express yourself you’ll lose that opportunity of making your first impression.

Because when you are able to express them you’re able to impress. And that is what Vanesha did when playing the role of Rahul, by having a genuine smile on her face, talking slowly so that the person understands about my likes /dislikes. And genuinely taking interest in the person who you’re sitting with.
And one more thing – It’s not just to make the first impression but also maintain it as well through your time on that date.

All you have to do is to be yourself.

Pay attention to what you’re saying. Take a keen interest in listening to the other person as well. You can even talk about the person’s family, occupation or dreams indirectly.

You must always give your perspective and respect her opinion too! And if you don’t understand or aren’t aware about something, it’s always a good idea to ask questions. This is the best way to keep a conversation going. And while asking questions ask open ended questions that invite someone to speak – do not ask questions that make someone uncomfortable on the first date.
