Have you been learning English for a long time but still struggle to understand native English speakers?

Do you get confused and overwhelmed when listening to people talk in English?

It is frustrating to be studying English and not see results. You deserve to learn why you may not be seeing results and what you can do to see your English language skills improve.

There are so many classes, teachers, books and websites that try to give you advice that is the best way to learn English In this book you will learn that only you know the best way you learn.

In this book, I will provide you with many different ideas, tips and resources that you will find helpful and will be able to use and try right away.

Each person has a different reason as to why they want to speak English fluently or proficiently. Some many want a better job and others may want to travel or make new friends. No matter what your reason for learning to speak English is, you need to commit to learning English.

There is no magic formula or method to make you learn English in a day. You need to set a goal and stick to how you plan to improve your English language skills.

Since each person has different goals, some of the methods in this book will not work for you while others will. The most important thing is that you try. Not that you try once in a while to improve your English but that you commit to 10, 15 or 30 minutes a day to improving your English.

This book is very practical and highly actionable. You will find many links and ideas within that will help you find a way that helps you improve your English. My goal is to help you speak better English by giving you different tips, tricks, resources and ideas.

My name is Janet Gerber. I run the website English Tonight (http://english-tonight.com). I am a teacher and language learner. On my website and in this book, it is my goal to give you practical advice, tips and activities that allow you to improve your English.

One thing that challenged me when I was trying to learn my second language was finding information, techniques and activities to help me improve. I spent a lot of time surfing the internet and finding resources. There were so many and at times I would get overwhelmed and not know which way was the best way to learn a new language.

Many people have beliefs that limit their language learning. It hinders their learning because they think they cant learn English because of the belief or thought that they keep telling themselves over and over again.

Below you will read about five common limiting beliefs that students that are learning (or want to learn) English have.

Im too old to learn English.

You are never too old to learn something new. It is not true that there is an age limit for learning a new language. It may however, be more difficult as time goes on but youre up for a challenge, right? Instead of making up excuses of what you arent learning, keep track of what you know or have learned. You could try to learn one new word a day, write a paragraph a day or spend 10 minutes focusing on English. If you take small steps to learning English; you will learn. Make a list of words you know or just learned. Dont get stuck on what you dont know. The more positive you are about your learning and English language acquisition, the better it will stick in your mind.

I cant speak English proficiently without traveling.

This is not true. I have met a lot (like thousands) of people that speak proficient English and they have never traveled to any English speaking country. They speak and understand English. You too can learn English without jetting off to New York, Sydney or London. Instead of focusing on what you cant do right now, focus on what you can. You can learn English where you live if you have access to a computer and are determined. There are plenty of free resources, websites and classes on the internet that can help teach you English.

I have no one to speak English with.

Thats ok! You can learn to speak English no matter where you live in the world as long as you have access to a computer. It doesnt matter if you live in a remote village in the mountains of India or in the jungle in the middle of South America. You can find other English learners, just like you online that want to learn English and would love to practice speaking with you. Many people are in the same situation as you are. There are many language exchange and language learning websites that will connect you to someone that wants to practice English or that wants to learn your native language. With the advances in technology, you can literally learn to speak English without ever leaving your home.

I cant remember all of the English grammar rules.

No one can remember all the grammar rules. Learning a new language is not about learning rules, it is about learning words that allow you to communicate with other people. Your grammar does not need to be perfect or even near perfect to be understood and start communicating. Native English speakers do not know all (or often times a lot) of grammar rules and make many grammar mistakes. They dont care. I assume that since you are reading this book you want to learn to speak English fluently. Focus on speaking and listening not on being the English grammar police.
