7 Reasons Your English Isn’t Improving

June 16, 2022 ●

Berlitz

Do you feel stuck at one level learning English? Are you having second thoughts about learning the language? Don’t give up! Though challenging, English is the most used language worldwide and knowing it increases your networking and educational opportunities. If you are investing your time in online English classes and are experiencing difficulties, here are seven reasons you may not be mastering the language.

1. You may need to change your mindset

Having a positive approach to learning English is the most important decision you could make. Associate the English language with all the goals you want to achieve. Once you become fluent and see yourself speaking the language well, this will motivate you to continue moving forward and acing your goals.

2. You need to go beyond textbook or class material

Step outside the classroom as much as possible and apply English to real-life daily tasks. While at work or on your trip to the grocery store, research words and phrases that you may need to help build your vocabulary. You may be surprised how much you would learn. It may also help if you set your phone to English, which would force you to learn the language as you manoeuvre the device and social media platforms.

3. You need to spend more time studying

How often do you study English? You may want to increase the number of hours you put in each week trying to master your goals. Try to be more consistent and aim to use the language in all possible scenarios to maximize your daily hours.

4. You’re relying too much on your first language

As a method to force you to learn English, try to speak it more often so that you may become more comfortable with it. Surround yourself with English speakers to force you to learn the language faster and easier. Practice makes perfect, so the more you speak English or use it to communicate, the more confident you will be as you move away from relying on your native tongue.

5. You feel overwhelmed by how much English you should learn

Set small weekly or monthly goals so that you can track your journey to fluency in English. This way, if you ever feel overwhelmed, you can be honest with yourself on how far you have come and how much further you need to go. This will push you to keep going even when you feel there is a lot to learn.

6. You do not revise what you have learnt

It is essential to review the topics you have learnt, even if you feel you have mastered them. Reread your notes so that you can refresh your memory and improve your knowledge of English. You may even understand a topic better or learn something new that you missed before.

7. You have not accepted the global advantage

Competence in English as a globally recognized second language will expand your educational and career opportunities. It will empower you to tap into a reservoir of information and allow access to profitable digital engagements offered by countries all over the world.

Although learning English can be challenging and time-consuming, your ability to master it could be invaluable to your personal and professional development. The English language can unlock countless opportunities on a global platform in any discipline.

If you want to improve your English, Berlitz Canada can help. At Berlitz, your success is our passion and we will ensure you have all the tools you need.
