Let’s be certain. If you want to learn English or any other language, you should be ready to make several mistakes. Errors are a part of the process and are mostly an opportunity to improve.
There are some sort of mistakes made by almost everybody who is looking forward to learning a language, but if you avoid making them, you make your life simple.
In today’s blog, Ms. Sonu Goel, Founder and Director of Café Converse, Delhi’s leading English language learning institute shares some tips that will help you avoid English Mistakes.
Make Simple Sentences
A general mistake beginner makes is, to form complicated sentences. It is vital to gain a complete understanding of the basics initially and then progress onto higher levels.
Most learners feel that the use of hue words is impressive, which mostly changes the meaning of what they want to say.
To prevent confusion, start by forming simple sentences initially and move on to the next level once you are done with the basics.
At times, you might feel that you are unable to express yourself and are taking excess time to learn. Do not worry about that, you would be able to do it once you learn the language.
Know Your Mistakes
An ideal way to betterment is to know where you go wrong. Once you realize the errors, you can work on them to improve quickly. Isn’t it great?
But how one can find out what mistakes you committed?
Practice: Practice everything you can. Take quizzes, do assignments and other activities and get your answers checked. In this manner, you can check out which concepts you are clear about and which ones need extra practice.
Pay more focus on these topics and give more time to these in an attempt to perfect them. Keep doing this at each stage, even when you qualify at the beginner level.
Check Meanings of the Words
Using incorrect words at the wrong place or situation can be disastrous. So, it is recommended to you not to use words if you are not certain of the meaning.
Have a dictionary handy or download an app to avoid such errors. Whenever you come across a new word, check the meaning and learn some example-based sentences to understand and remember it. You can also learn a new word every day to enhance your vocabulary.
This rule is also applied to any grammar-related doubts that you might have. For instance, confirm if the tense that you have used is right or not before finalizing the sentence.
Edit and Proofread
This is the most crucial step. Everyone makes a silly mistake now and then; hence, it is better to give your piece of writing, a final reading prior to your submitting it.
Spelling errors, typing errors, formatting can be corrected at the end. Generally, people get tired post writing and skip those steps – never do that! Do not allow your efforts go to waste because of carelessness. Remain dedicated till the very last step for the finest results.
Have Some Patience
Remember, it is important that you do not hurry in the beginning. Take some moment to think and plan your answers whether you are speaking or writing. Why? Because it is always good to speak properly than to speak quickly.
Several people, who get nervous while speaking English, speak quite fast and make plenty of grammatical errors in the process. This will not happen if they take a certain time to plan their response in their minds first and then speak.
When it comes to writing, you can have as much time as you wish and learn at your own pace. It can even take up to several minutes to write 10 sentences do not worry. You will eventually improve while you practice.
