Believe it or not but the one language that captures your attention and is your companion globally in any part of the world is English. With the advent of innumerable globally acclaimed countries uniting together to carry ahead a joint commerce system English inevitably becomes the official mode of communication in India as well. So what are the features that one must look forward to polish as the first or primary steps towards learning this language?
1. Learn English Grammar:
It is imperative to say that Grammar forms an integral part of any language. When it comes to learning English it is this basic foundational stone on which the language stands firm and structurally correct. We need to understand this very structure and the elements that form the very basis such as Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives, Adverbs, Tenses, Articles, Speeches, Active and Passive voices, Positive and Negative sentences, Exclamatory signs and so on. Each and every category needs an elaborative study with various examples too.
2. Learn English language:
English undoubtedly is the most widely spoken language in the whole world with the ratio of every one out of six people speaking this language whether pertaining to official grounds or as a habitual user. Learning English language though is prominently a vital step to identifying yourself globally; learning it methodically and through proper devised ways makes you reach your goals in crisp and brisk manner. Over here one should clearly know a bit about two major factors:
A. History: This would bring you closer to its origin and roots. History speaks of English as being an Anglo-Frisian language that hailed from the north western parts of Germany and brought by German settlers in Britain by 5 AD.
B. Statistics: Some know-how or basic statistics on this language throws light upon its efficiency and global attention. For instance English is the one language having the richest vocabulary and listing of about 500,000 words.
3. Learn Spoken English:
The study speaks of the erogenous zones one develops in written or grammatically correct English if one is new to 'speaking' English. This clearly means that the standard of spoken English should be at par with the efficient learning levels of written English. Look forward to have a congenial environment especially in a country like India where you can speak English fluently and with the right expressions. The use of ‘Phonetics’ comes in to the picture which provides us the methodical approach towards speaking the 'right' kind of English.
4. Learn English pronunciation:
After having sought some refinement in written and spoken English if you still lack in pronouncing English the way it should be actually pronounced then much of your efforts need to be refurbished again as pronouncing a language is as important as writing it or speaking it according to its correct structure. The rightful knowledge and usage of techniques plays a pivotal role here.
Some noteworthy points to be taken care of while learning English pronunciation are:
a. Sounds
b. Consonants
c. Vowels
d. Suprasegmentals
Having known the above mentioned categories you can surely look forward to have an informative study enough to make you use all of the above in your day to day practical ways of both written and spoken English language.
