What do I need to start learning English

1. Time - practice your English every day, listening, speaking or reading.

2. Patience - do not give up, learning a ******** can be a long process, but don't panic.

3. A sense of humour - learning English should be fun, so have fun!

4. Having a good English teacher or an English speaking friend is always going to help, you can learn English through books and tapes but books and tapes can't answer questions or help when you are stuck.

5. People to practice with - get together with other people who are interested in learning English, it increases the fun and reduces the frustration. Join or start an English club or join a book reading club,

6. A vocabulary notebook - write down new words in a notebook. Don't translate them, but write the new word into context in a meaningful sentence.

7. A good English dictionary - not a German-English dictionary, but a real English dictionary. Look up the meaning of new words here first, this will help you build your vocabulary.
