SCRIPT --
Hi everybody this is Misterduncan in England
How are you today
Are you okayI hope so
Are you happyI hope so
Welcome to the very first episode of my series of English teaching videos Before I begin we will take a look at some of the common questions that often arise when talking about learning the English language and more importantly learning it as a second language
So the first question must be Why do we need to learn English
Of course one of the reasons why we need to be able to speak English nowadays
is because the world is becoming smaller Thanks to the internet and our developing global economymore and more people are using English as a common way to communicate with each other So now it has become unavoidable that companies and large businesses will need to employ peoplewho can speak more than their own native language that is where English comes in
It is now officially considered as an international language
Of course learning anything is difficult and English is no exception However there are ways to make the situation easier I have come up with my own list of general rules
for learning English Do you want to hear them
Do you want to know what they are
Oklets go
Learning English takes time and patience
It cannot be rushed
Try to relax and take it easy
The most important thing you need at the beginning
is a good vocabulary
Without words you have nothing to work with
You must start with a strong foundation or base
and slowly build on it day by day
You must view English as a part of your body
just as you would an arm or leg
It must become a part of your everyday life
Daily practise is very important
Do not worry about making mistakes
in fact the more mistakes you make
The more you will learn from them
just like learning to ride a bike
sometimes you fall off
So what do you do
You get back on and try again
Do not look at English as just another subject
Your attitude to English and the way you view it will decide how well you progress
just as we say in English No painno gain The two most important words to remember
when learning English arepractise and confidence Practise English everyday and be confident You will find that the more you use Englishthe better your English will become
and the more confident you becomethen the more you will want to use it
Make it a rule to tell yourselfI can do itI can do itI can do it
Please remember my lessons are aimed at everyone so hopefully you will find something useful in each one Maybe you will find some of the words I use very easy But you will also see some words that may be new to you Remembermy lessons are aimed at everyone
Even teachers are very welcome to join in
Learning English should be a fun experience and I hope with the help of my videos lessons
you will discover just how much fun it can be I hope youve enjoyed my first lesson
