Vocabulary Sci-fi

     Dear friend!


     I`m writing to you from the future in oder to explain in a small talk what opportunities I have to learn English languge nowadays. I can easily yell that it`s not only cognitively but also - improbably interesting!
     This language is very useful to communicate with foreigners even when they are not from English-speaking countries. It is because English is an official language of main internarional laws and pacts, during talking business,  it`s widely spread in the social networks and is always developing on the world stage. May be it is a figure of speech but English language seems to be a mother tongue of the whole humanity.
     First of all, modern tehnologies have made learning foreign languages more easy. For example, you can use online dictionaries, communicating websites, chat with native speakers, come into contact with people around the world to improve the usage of your target language. Using different websites you can create "word maps" which will help you to enrich your memory with different collocations:

     Moreover there are "word clouds": the main principle is that learning words in colours is better for your memory. 
     Also you can find one phrase in different contexts using fraze.it. For instance, "to learn new words":
[The results of this study have important implications for language acquisition. It indicates exposure to language via television is insufficient for teaching language to very young children. To learn new words, children must be actively engaged in the process with responsive language teachers].
     What is more, creating Flashcard set in Quizlet can be used as electronic vocabulary:


     So do not "hold the line" during learning English, just speak up, just write letters to your pen-friends, just shake hands with foreigners and start to communicate, just have a meeting with participants of different exchange programmes, just speak your mind in English. You know that you can say no word but think in English  and it will perfectly.
     I`ve heard from my colleagues that face to face communication can make a speaker more confident what is really necessary. Despite the giggling of your enemies progress will be showed. 
     I`d like to "underline" that during learning English language I have an opportunity to listen to English music, to watch English films with subtitles, to read English books, advertisements, to visit extremely great number of sites in English. That`s why it is possible to create language nature around yourself. It would be great if you had the same...
     So whisper to the image in the mirror that YOU can and it will clap on your self-confidence.
     
                          With best wishes,
     your friend from the future Alex.

  1. My heart tells me that you will have a lot of followers because of the deep motivational train of thought in your posts. I totally agree with you that Internet offers us a wide variety of useful websites which help us to learn English productively and not to be ill-prepared for the classes. We can just google the necessary thing, scroll the page down, and chose the worthwhile link. All in all, it’s not a considerable difficulty. The only thing you need to have is a strong desire!

  2. Our world is multinational and it's very important to communicate not only with native speakers, but also with people who learn English as you do it. In this case, you will be more proactive than people who want to contact only with people from English speaking countries. And as for improving your vocabulary or grammar skills you can use these innovative methods which you describe in this blog.
