How to teach them on learning English?

The first thing you should teach is to never worry about grammar. When you support friend to learn English, remember about speaking first and grammar will follow up later. Make them remember about concept “misunderstand”.

What is that? It means, you miss but people still understand. Looks great? You see that a lot of native English speak without right grammar, and it is okay. As long as people understand what you mean, there are no problem at all.

Secondly, never care about the accent. Some people really want to speak English in British or American accent, but they can’t. Of course, since they are not from those countries. Language never cares about the accent, only several people who care on that.

You see, a lot of people such as Spanish, Russian and Italian speak English with clear “R”, when actually the native doesn’t sound the letter clearly. The other one is Japanese who say “soka” for soccer. Looks great?

Come on. Support your friend to learn English. Afterwards, you may teach another language and then you become Polyglot together with your friends.

Ready?
