Are you learning English, but still not seeing significant results? Surely you have spent efforts trying to speak the language more fluently and you still feel that you are at the basic level. If so, don't worry, it's probably just the way you are practicing at home. Many people give up on English because they don't have a definite plan for learning, but today you can break that pattern. 

I invite you to read our blog on how to learn English and French for immigration purposes to Canada. Join me until the end with this topic which will lead you to advance faster in English thanks to 7 specific tips for studying English and French.Let's get started!

Learn English and advance super fast

Starting from the statement: "yes, you can learn English super fast", which we use every day in our language school, Planeta Immiland, the next thing to understand is that the way you study is what determines how long it can take to build a good vocabulary, put words together coherently to form a meaningful sentence and verbalize a message in English with confidence and certainty. In other words, actually speak English.

Let's see what these 7 tips are all about! 

A guide to 7 practical tips for progressing in English

This guide is designed to help you achieve tangible results aligned with your personal interests in speaking English. Take note and apply each one as soon as possible.

1. Set clear goals. Define exactly what you will achieve and in how much time. For example:

• "Today I will learn to pronounce 5 words right." 
• "For this week, I will learn 7 new words and use them in conversations and writing." 
• "In the first month of study, I will manage to converse fluently on a topic for 10 minutes." 

• What other goal would you like to achieve?

1. Make English a part of your life. This means going into English mode. All your daily life will be in English and more English. How?

• Listen to all the music at your fingertips in English only.

• Watch your favorite series and movies in English and turn on English subtitles. This will help you develop listening and reading skills while being entertained.
• Configure your computers and devices to read them in English.
• Read the news every day in English, etc.

1. Practice daily. In addition to your English classes, face-to-face or online, dedicate at least 30 minutes to daily practice. If you don't have anyone to practice with, that's okay! I recommend that you stand in front of a mirror or your cell phone camera and start speaking out loud all the English you know - you can be your own best interlocutor and be very patient as you consolidate each process!

1. Do not feed the fear of making mistakes. Remember that this is part of learning. Besides, everyone makes mistakes, even people who speak the language at advanced levels! The language is so broad and dynamic that you are always learning something new and interesting, so mistakes will be in the way until you overcome them.

1. Surround yourself with language. This strategy is known as language immersion. Talk to native speakers, engage in conversations where you can practice the language with others. Focus your attention on signs that are written in English; over time, you will find that you are used to reading them. The important thing is to dispel doubts about the meaning of a new word. If you want to advance in each level of English, you must allow the language to become part of your environment.

1. Use the right resources. While artificial intelligence and mobile apps can help you, these tools serve only as a supplement. There are resources that are much more specific, such as specialized courses, which can guide you with the focus and structure you need to achieve each of your goals. At the end of the article, you will see our study methodology and fast English courses with Planeta Immiland's certified teachers.

1. Review and evaluate what you have learned. In other words, apply self-evaluation with transparent criteria. No one better than yourself to recognize where progress has been made and where it has not. To do so, apply these strategies:

• Go back to your goals and check which ones were achieved and which ones were not. 
• Measure your progress against your planned time.
• Reset the methods.

Now that you know a new way to study English, how much longer will you wait to see different results? Learning English is possible as long as you study the right way.
