You should read different English books and try to remember at least 10 new words a day. And of course speak English as much as it's possible.

It depends on how you plan to use English in your life.

If you plan to use English for reading, you'll concentrate on reading.

If you are going to travel, you can easily find a phrase book with expressions you'll need for traveling; there's also a lot of good stuff online.

If you want to communicate with others in English, it's important to listen carefully to the words and expressions they use and to their pronunciation. It would be ideal to have a teacher to practice with. If there are no English speakers around you, movies and television can be helpful.

The technology is getting better and better, so you should in future be able to practice speaking English online.

Well, I think time is not a hindrance in learning English.

I work in an on-line tutorial company and we talk to students for only 10 minutes in a day. They may just learn a new word or expression in one day or notice their errors, and that's it. Spending a little time learning a "word of the day" is not hard to do, is it? As long as there is continuity in your study, English isn't that hard to learn. Btw, I used to be an Engineering student myself.

 

[baqarah131]

Very true. A few minutes a day, with a lot of review, and a person can make enormous progress.
I'm learning Tagalog, so I have Tagalog vocabulary taped to the frame of my bicycle. I can easily learn 30 or 40 words in a week.

Ayos ah! :-D

So you also apply the principle to learning Tagalog. Of course, principles apply to mostly everything. Could you speak Tagalog fluently? How long have you been learning it?

 

[baqarah131]

One principle that applies to both English and Tagalog is that it's important to be a good listener, and to make use of what you hear, you need vocabulary.

The problem with English seems to be pronunciation, while in Tagalog it's a complex and to us unfamiliar system of verbs and emphasis within a sentence.

I've been working at Tagalog for just a few weeks. I don't see fluency as a goal, as English is so widely spoken in the Tagalog areas. I'm interested in the songs, poetry.

Some usingenglish.com students are using songs to learn English, and I think it's a great idea. It was a heart-rendingly beautiful song in Tagalog, Bayan Ko, that got me interested in the language.

BAYAN KO


Ang bayan kong Pilipinas
Lupain ng ginto't bulaklak
Pag-ibig ang sa kanyang palad
Nag-alay ng ganda't dilag.
At sa kanyang yumi at ganda
Dayuhan ay nahalina
Bayan ko, binihag ka
Nasadlak sa dusa.


Ibon mang may layang lumipad
Kulungin mo at umiiyak
Bayan pa kayang sakdal dilag
Ang di magnasang makaalpas!
Pilipinas kong minumutya
Pugad ng luha ko't dalita
Aking adhika,
Makita kang sakdal laya.

The English translation of "Bayan Ko."

MY COUNTRY

My country the Philippines
Land of gold and flowers
With love in her palms
She offers beauty and virtue.
And of her modesty and beauty
The foreigner was attracted
O, my country, you were enslaved
Mired in hardship.



Even birds that are free to fly
Cage them and they cry,
Much more a beautiful country
Shall long to be free.
Philippines my beloved,
Cradle of my tears and poverty
I'll aspire,
To see you truly free.


* In case you still don't have this translation.
The lyrics of this song is so profound, we rarely use the vocabulary here.
It's often sang in schools when I young, I wonder if they still do till now.
