elbows with the who's who in your desired sector. As

Expose Yourself to the New Language
Practice makes perfect, which indicates that if you want to
improve a skill, you must do so. As a starting student, you must
master all four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and
writing.
1.Listening: It is crucial in the learning of any language. Effective
listening, among other things, assures comprehension and aids in
the improvement of speaking correctness. You can listen to music
and can watch television series.
2.Speaking: It is frequently the most difficult of the four language
skills, but as soon as you can speak a little English, there are
numerous opportunities to quickly improve your speaking and at
the same time have a lot of fun.
12
3.Reading: It is a brain process that takes time to develop:
your mind must attach meaning to the words, phrases, and
expressions represented by symbols, as well as learn the
grammar and structure of the language used in the passage
you are reading. It will be very beneficial to your future if you
develop strong reading skills.
4.Writing: Even though it may be intimidating to many
people, anyone with a little discipline and a willingness to
learn can become accustomed to writing.
In the end, all of the preceding advice can be boiled down to
one word: PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!! Whatever
your learning method is, whatever your native language is, the
key to learning and mastering a second language is to
PRACTICE it as often and as often as possible.
