Moikka taas!
Englanti on kieli, joka on joko helppo oppia tai sitten sitä ei vain opi vaikka kuinka yrittäisi siellä oppitunnilla. Mutta omasta kokemuksesta voin sanoa, että oppitunneilla en ole omaa englannin kielen taitoani oppinut vain aivan muualla. Ja jos olet samanlainen kuin minä, niin haluat oppia kaiken heti, eikä sinulla ole aikaa odottaa montaa kuukautta. Tämän takia päätinkin tehdä aiheesta ihan kokonaisen postauksen!
1. Netflix etc.
Surullista, mutta totta. Netflix on ollut yksi minun suurimmista "opettajista". Ota sarjoista ja elokuvista suomen kielinen teksitys täysin kokonaan pois ja laita tilalle joko englannin kieliset tekstit. Jos haluat haastaa itseäsi vielä enemmän, niin älä laita edes niitä englannin kielisiä tekstejä!
2. Lue
En nykyään edes lue kirjoja enään suomeksi, vaan luen ainoastaan englannin kielellä. Lukeminen kehittää sanavarastoasi huomattavasti ja samalla saat käsitystä esimerkiksi kieliopista ja siitä, miten tekstiä kirjoitetaan englanniksi.
3. Puhu ihmisten kanssa
Tarkoitan oikeita ihmisiä, joille voit puhua englantia. Tottakai on hyvä, jos esimerkiksi juttelet kaverisi kanssa viestellä englantia, mutta sanallinen kanssakäyminen kehittää taitojasi paljon enemmän.
4. YouTube
Englannin kieliset youtubettajat ovat todella hyviä kielen opettajia! Jos haluat tietää esimerkiksi paremmin miten brittiläiset puhuvat, voit alkaa seuraamaan muutamaa brittiläistä tubettajaa. Jos sinua taas kiinnostaa enemmän Australian aksentti, niin voit etsiä tubettajia, jotka ovat sieltä kotoisin.
5. Kysy
Jos et ole jostakin ihan varma kysy. Jos sinua esimerkiksi mietityttää voitko käyttää jossakin tekstissä jotakin sanaa, kannattaa sinun kysyä apua esimerkiksi opettajaltasi. Hehän ovat koulussa nimenomaa sinua varten ja haluavat sinun oppivan!
6. Älä luovuta
Me jokainen koetaan välillä epäonnistumisia ja se on täysin normaalia! Jos sinulla ei ole motivaatiota opiskella, yritä löytää se. Etse uusi sarja, jota voit alkaa seuraamaan tai kirjoita syitä, miksi haluat oppia puhumaan parempaa englantia. Älä myöskään ota liikaa paineita. Opit kielen kun päätät oppia sen.
7. Kielikurssi
Lähde ulkomaille opiskelemaan! EF:n kautta voit lähteä kahdesta viikosta ylöspäin opiskelemaan moneen eri englannin kieliseen kohteeseen! Itselle tämä on ollut yksi parhaista tavoista oppia kieltä ja olen todella kiitollinen, että olen saanut mahdollisuuden jo kaksi kertaa lähteä opiskelemaan englantia heidän kauttaan.
Siinä on muutama niksi, joilla olen itse oppinut puhumaan englantia muutaman vuoden sisään ihan kiitettävän hyvin. Jotkut oppivat kuuntelemalla toiset taas puhumalla. Tai voit olla ihminen, jonka täytyy vain lukea ja osaat lukemasi. Koska meitä on todella monenlaisia ei nämä niksit tehoa varmasti jokaiseen. Toivon kuitenkin, että löytäisit edes muutaman, joka auttaisi sinua oppimaan paremman englannin kielen taidon!
Hello again!
English is a language that you learn real easily or then you just can't learn it no matter what you do. What my own experience is, is that I haven't learn almost anything in school. And because of that I've had to find some other ways to learn speak better English. If you are like me and you want everything right now not in few months this post is for you! Here is some things which have helped me to gain better English skills in short amout of time.
1. Netflix etc.
Sad but true. Netflix have been maybe the biggest "teacher" of mine. When you're watching something take off the subtitles or if you are not comfortable with that you can always use English subtitles. This will help you to understand what you are hearing. It can be difficult when you start doing that but you will get used to it really quick.

2. Read
I don't even read in finnish anymore. Because every book I have is in English and I really think that books in English are just so much better. Reading will make your vocabulary much bigger and also you will learn how you write in English. Also your grammar will be better after few books!
3. Talk with people
Talk with real people. And now I mean talk with people you can actually talk with. Of course it is amazing if you have a friend you can text in English with but if you want to be really good you have to learn how to pronaunce words.
4. YouTube
English youtubers are brilliant teachers when it comes to accents! So if you want to learn to speak like brittish then go and subscribe few brittish youtubers and you will start gaining. But if you just looove australian accent then my advice is to go and find few youtubers from Australia and start watching theirs videos. This is actually an amazing way to learn plus it is funny!!
5. ASK
If you are not 100% sure, ask! If you are thinking can you use some word in some contects you should go and ask! For example you can go and ask your teacher. Because she/he is there for you and they want you to learn. Also I think they would appriciate if you are trying to learn the language outside the classroom!
6. Don't give up
We all have our downs and days when nothing goes right and we just want to give up. But that's totally normal! If you can't find your motivation anywhere..just keep looking! You can try to find a new series to watch or you can write down reasons why you want to learn speak better English. But don't stress about it! You will learn the language when you just keep practising.
7. Language course
Go study aboard! With EF you can basically go anywhere you would like. Also you can stay only two weeks or if you want to learn speaking English really well you can stay five months or nine! For me this have been the best way to learn speaking English. And I'm so thankful that I've had this amazing change to go and study aboard not only once but twice! And I really hope that if you deside to go you will have an amazing time :)
So there is few ways how I have learned to speak English in only few years. I am quite happy with my skills right now but obviosly there is always something to learn and I know my English isn't perfect in anyway. Some people will learn by listening but some people have to speak and use the language. Because there is so many kind of people in this world I tried to write down few different ways to learn. I hope this will help some of you and that you would find even one way to learn faster.
