English IS so easy!

I have always hated English and I have had  nightmares and other terrible things when I was only thinking about this language. But what HAS happenEd that have I decided to write about it? Now I don’t have nighmares about English because everthing Has changed in my life. Now I jusT love learning English and I would like to invite you to learn English. How did do it? Or  How did I love START TO English?

It was four years ago when my friend moved to Ireland. I was afraid about her and I was thinkIng that she can’t do a lot without THE language. I was wrong. My friend starteD AN English course there and she WENT to AN Irish school.  Now she  talkS perfeclty and she can teach other people. You can tell me: ”she just lives there and SO IT IS easier”. Of course you are right but AT the begining she haD to more concenrate because everywhere she hearD English. You can do the same. Start listenING TO English All the time by BBC Word serVice or another program.

Next you have to start talking with other people in English of course.  On the Internet there are a lot of great websites when you can find a pan-pal (A friend who will be WRiting with you by emalis Or by chatting) or friIEd who will be talking with you on skype. On skype you can find really good teachers English. If you don’t have webcam you will buy and you can start talking with Natives Spekers. Really good webcam costs about 90zlotych and you will don’t have to pay a lot of Money for English les sons. You only Need a webcam or microPHone. If you are so shy and you are afraid conversation by Internet you can WRITE with A pEn-pal.

I prefer one website where there are  a lot of Native English Speakerr her name: conversation exchange. On this website you have to create an account and write something about you. For example:

• Why have you decided to join us
• or what kind of pan pal are you looking for?

When I was on CoNversation Exchange first Day I gave probably ten messages from people abroad who wanted help me. I was really suRprised and shocked.  I have never known that a lot of people abroad want to learn Polish and in Exchange they want teach you English. I just thought: „I like that. The Best idea TO improve English” Why DID NOBODY TELL me about it? So now I am talking you about this kind of learning.

I remember one situation from my life. In free time I am a teacher of one boy. Recently i have found a lot of notes in his room.  I was suRprised because this was english notes. This boy is a student of fourth class so I have decided to ask him about his notes. „I see that you are learning English. So perfect. Tell me How are you?” He was AFRAID TO SPEAK: „What are you talking about? I don’t know what are you talking” When I Saw his face I asked : Maybe you can tell me: how old are you? He look like worse. I was frightened. Maybe you can tell me: whAT is you name: He look better: My name yyyyyy  is… Uff He can submit.. really great.WHAT IS THE moral of the story? THIS BOYS parents  pay a lot of money for his lessons. He probably HAS BEEN learning English A long time. This boy can’t answer for really easy guestions. I have a request for you. Don’t pay a lot of Money for youR lessons, just start learning with Internet. CreAte account on conversation Exchange and learning tHere. I really Promise that you WILL find  great pe ople and you will have fun.

Good luck!
