Here are some English study skills for beginners.

★Listening

Listening is a great way to improve your pronunciation and intonation (语调). You can start by listening to short stories for children because they are usually easy.

★Reading

Reading is a good way to help you learn new words. And it will also help you learn English grammar. Children’s books are great for beginners.

★Vocabulary

When you come across new words in the reading, write them down in your notebook. You can write down the translation in your native language (母语)to help you understand.

★Speaking

While doing your reading exercises, read them aloud. You can also look for some articles (文章) on the Internet to read.

Learning any language needs practice — lots of practice.You don’t have to spend hours studying each day; just 30 minutes a day for four or five days a week will help you improve it.
