Many dream of learning English. Knowledge of the language is useful for both career and travel. The problem is that not everyone can afford to learn a language in courses or with a repeater, and success depends on how good a teacher gets - many English teachers themselves speak with errors and poor pronunciation.
Therefore, the most advantageous option is . Fortunately, nowadays it is very simple: the Internet gives you access to resources that no teacher can offer, and most of them are free.
The most important thing in learning a language is immersion in the language environment. Therefore, if you can find work or live for several months with relatives in an English-speaking country, you can learn English without much effort.
If you still do not have the opportunity to live in an English-speaking country, then you can create a language environment for yourself online. You will need both communication with native speakers (speak yourself and understand the interlocutor), and understanding the correct English language by ear and in writing.
You can read any English site, the best is newspaper sites - it is easy to find articles on topics of interest to you, and when something is interesting, then learning more fun. Look for unfamiliar words in the dictionary or translator of Google, but do not put the text of the entire article in the translation field. You need to read the article in English.
For an understanding of English speaking, listen to the news feeds on cnn.com or bbc.com. Almost all television stations abroad offer their own recording programs. You can also watch videos on YouTube, and the most entertaining is to watch films in English, which can also be found online.
But the most important thing is to speak for yourself and communicate directly with native speakers.
To start talking yourself at least at the initial level, go again to the Google translator. Insert a request for the translation of a Russian phrase, the analogue of which you want to find, listen to its pronunciation, repeat and memorize. At the very least, the pronunciation will be 100% correct, which you do not always get when learning a language with a repeater. If you learn 5-6 phrases a day, after a couple of months you will be able to communicate in English at a basic level.
Now it's time to find someone with whom you can really talk. It is easy for girls to find someone to talk to by registering on dating sites such as elenasmodels.com, where there are many British and Americans. International dating sites like match.com can also help men. But if you already have a spouse, they may misunderstand this.
In this case, it is possible to use sites for foreigners studying Russian. You can even make money from this on sites like fiverr.com by offering, for example, 30 minutes of conversational practice of the Russian language for $ 5. When speaking with a native speaker, you will invariably also communicate in English in order to understand each other.
As you can see, if you want, you can learn the language yourself. How quickly you can do it depends only on you. If you study for 4-5 hours a day, you can speak English in six months!
