So it's quite simple: Motivation! It was she who gave impetus to self-development and a thirst for knowledge of English rules, words and letters. I agree, there will not be much stopping you if you have motivation ...

Everyone has their own motivation: some have to go abroad looking for a better life / work / study, others have to watch movies in the original and enjoy the voices of the actors, and not listen to our tiny and defective translations, third, to understand lessons English speaking, killing two birds with a stone: learning English, completing his vocabulary and developing in the area that interests him. (Purely for reference, in almost every area, be it anatomy, programming, drawing or anything, it's full of different courses and materials, and even more in English, they're steeper and better.

When you became clear with motivation, you need to outline a training plan. Each can be individual because one is better reading, listening to another, the third conversation ... You need to find a middle ground for you. That is, to spend more time, and the other is smaller, so that there are no distortions, as you, you read well, but do not speak well or something.

Of course, without knowing the basic set of words, you will not go into any of these sections. So you need to start with the heaping of words, but with memorizing words. With these very good help services, like Anki and LinguaLeo. In both is very convenient: there are functions of repeating intervals, voice words, transcriptions and visual representations. Anki can be downloaded for free to Android, but Apple users will have to pay almost 1000 rubles for it. This can be avoided by studying on Anki's own website without downloading the app on the Iphone or Ipad. LinguaLeo is free for Android and Apple, but it has some limitations, like adding words to the dictionary, simplified grammar, and so on. A full subscription for one year costs 1200r. A free subscription can be obtained by inviting friends.

After you learn the basic set of words, so you can understand what is needed from you in the textbook (the English / American English textbook!) You can move to the grammar. Parallel to cramming the basic set of words, I recommend practicing these words, uttering them. It is quite convenient to do with Dr. Pimsler's method, (his lessons can be downloaded, they are free). The essence of this method is that you listen to simple dialogues and repeat them. Very convenient, allows you to repair the words. In parallel with this, you need to read! Reading is very important, you should not underestimate it, it was about him that many people who passed into the fire recorded. (international examination in English).

The reading should begin to develop with simple stories adapted to stupid beginners like Winnie the Pooh or something.

Once we move away from total zero, and something intelligible can say / write / read, we must go on, in particular, to complicate! In grammar you will "Red Murphy or Oxford grammar book (both primary)" in the audition - BBC podcasts for conversation in English - native speaker (an English for practice), or at worst, see personalized video, write the phrase Dialogue and Telling, Reading - Same Adapted Books. We also continue using Anki and LinguaLeo. Leo, for example, is full of materials that will help you learn grammar, pull up reading and listening.

Once this limit is passed, you can speak clearly (describe yourself, talk about your goals / desires and things, using simple phrases and sentences), continue. You can start watching videos / series / normal materials for more studies ... Videos created by the native to the natives. Wow!! You can start watching the "Friends" series!

In grammar, you will be helped by the same, but already blue Murphy (blue) and yellowish in Oxford (yellow), I recommend you to go through both textbooks, because one is well described in the grammar in another practice well given. At the audition - BBC podcasts, Luke's English podcast (especially liked), songs, etc. (Those who are interested in podcasts, I wrote an article about 10 of my favorite podcasts). Conversation - Look for natives, this can be done by using the interpals and scout sites (more on that in the next article). Reading - texts for exams like toefl / ielts. We continue to use Anki and LinguaLeo to replenish vocabulary.

After this milestone, you can move on to something more serious, namely reading English literature in the original, watching movies in the original, talking about various topics with native speakers, listening to podcasts for natives created by the native and watching M

green urphy and the greenish Oxford. Reading and reading can be practiced on the road, and grammar and conversation will have to give time during the day. The Internet is a very useful thing, it has many textbooks, materials that you can download for free. You can learn English without spending anything except time! The main thing is your desire, motivation and belief in yourself. With motivation and a good start, classes will become a habit for you and will be easier and more enjoyable for you ... Below are links to textbooks, podcasts, courses and other materials useful to you. (Small tip: determine what you are interested in and see and read in English, then the training will be conducted with great pleasure) Learn and develop and motivate others to do it!
