Strategies to improve your English

Technique number One:
Listen to music

1. Choose a song in English that you like very much (it's very important that you like the song!)
2. Listen to the song and try to sing it.
3. Listen one, two, three times and try to understand what it says.
4. List the words or sentences that you can understand (don't worry about the spelling at first)
5. Do steps 3 and 4 as many times as you need.
6. Get the lyrics and check your job.
7. Pay attention to the words, how to write each word sentences structures...
8. Translate the words or sentences that you don't can't understand from the context.
9. Finally, sing the song and enjoy!!!!

Technique number two:
Talking with a new friend

1. Join a relationship site, por example. Suggestions: icq, orkut, skype, chat rooms in websites...
2. Search for people that live in a country where the official language is English.
3. Greet the people and say that you're learning English. Be cool and polite. (very important). If you are a girl search for a boy, and if you're a boy search for a girl, preferably. The chances for success are bigger!
4. You can use a program to download music and video. For example, ask about the files that you need or want.
5. Talk about light subjects.
6. Add this peolple to msn or ask for his or her e-mail. And be his friend.
7. Good luck!
