EASY AND FUN WAYS TO LEARN ENGLISH

ABSTRACT: This article teaches how to learn a foreign language quickly and effectively. It takes us a lot of time to learn English. I think that this article will help us learn quickly and easily by using our time properly.

KEY WORDS: strong passion, daily practice, type of skills, learning grammar, increasing vocabulary, pronunciation, repetition, proper use of smartphone.

ENTRANCE:By the end of the 20th century, English had finally established itself as a world language. Today, the ability to know foreign languages ​​is becoming one of the integral parts of professional education. Due to the high rate of cooperation with foreign partners among specialists in various fields, there is a high demand for them to learn the language. In modern society, foreign languages ​​are becoming an important component of professional education. People learn such knowledge first at school, college, high school, and then at institutes, training courses or independently by getting acquainted with the basic information sets that help to learn a foreign language.

LITERATURE ANALYSIS AND METHODS

Popular methods of teaching and learning English and Internet resources were used in the research process. During the writing of the article, the principles of theoretical deductive conclusion, analysis and synthesis, logicality were used.

Today, many language courses are held for two hours one or two days a week, which is not good for us. Because on other days we are busy with daily chores. Usually, before the lesson, he forgets the topics of the previous lesson, which slows down the learning process. When we learn any foreign language, it should be studied and repeated daily. Only then the learning process will be much faster. First of all, we must make a commitment to ourselves. For example, “I spend two hours studying English every day, regardless of the situation!” Then our recall results will increase dramatically. Many people say that they should do this method, but they do not do it in practice. We have to adapt ourselves to this day’s training. Only then can we achieve the desired result. Type of abilities.

Linguists have divided the study of the English language into four major directions;

-Reading is the ability to read and understand a text in a foreign language. 

-Hearing (listening) is the ability to hear and understand the chat language.

-Writing-the ability to write in a foreign language.

Speaking is the ability to express one’s thoughts and ideas in a foreign language.

 In order to achieve this, it is important to master the three most necessary things. These are: grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.

1. Learning grammar will definitely not be easy for a child. Whether we like it or not, the most difficult part of learning a language is grammar. We often observe that most people focus on memorizing rules when learning grammar. Memorizing the rules does not mean learning grammar. Unfortunately, there are many such people. They know the rules of grammar and phonetics of a foreign language by heart, but they cannot make a more complicated sentence in the language. You don’t have to memorize all the rules, just memorize the most used ones. Once you have memorized all the rules, you will only apply 30% of them. You don’t use the rest. This can cause you various boredom and confusion. Repeat what you have learned every day and build on them simple and then more complex sentences. In a simple sentence, it mainly consists of possessor + participle + complement.

2. Vocabulary memorization.

Even in this process, memorizing yourself for years is a wrong method. I used to memorize 10 words a day. The problem is that I could not use these when I spoke in English, I almost did not use such words. This did not give any results.

 We have the concepts of “Active vocabulary” and “Passive vocabulary” for this. To summarize, you can use the words in “active vocabulary” without any problems. You can use them without any difficulties. But it If the words fall into the “passive vocabulary”, you can remember the word only by seeing or hearing it briefly. The words in the passive vocabulary are very dangerous. There is a possibility that the words will be forgotten. For this, we can save the words from the “active vocabulary” and transfer the words from the “passive vocabulary” to the “active vocabulary”. We need to translate all the unfamiliar words in the movies or videos and pay attention to their pronunciation.

 3. Pronunciation.

 Every language has its own pronunciation. Nowadays, technical progress has developed. This is why we all have access to mass media.

If we listen to different English movies and English songs, our pronunciation will improve a lot. Another way is to use it for another purpose when listening to a song in a foreign language. Find the lyrics of your favorite song in a foreign language and translate it into your language using a dictionary. Or work a lot with English lyrics so that you can mark and translate unfamiliar words. Then you translate the unfamiliar words that cover that text from English to your own language without looking at the translation. Then you will remember them and know when to use them. Another useful way is to listen to native speakers and have conversations with them. Nowadays, we all have the opportunity to communicate online. . That is, we can use this to communicate with native speakers and get various information to improve our pronunciation.

I would like to give some more incentives for us to learn English quickly and effectively.

Define the goal clearly.

If you have to do anything, especially in language learning, it is not for success. Therefore, think about what you want to learn English for. Nowadays, many people are going to learn a language without being interested in the opinion of their family or others. First of all, you should have an interest and a goal. For example, after learning English, I will enter the world languages ​​university as the first grant, “I will enter the University of Westminster on a grand basis” or “I will go abroad to study and work in high positions”, and “I will open new campaigns in cooperation with foreign countries.” “, you can set a goal. Do not forget that the more serious the goal, the faster and more effective language learning will be.

Language is based on repetition.

A language cannot be learned without constant repetition. You can memorize 15 new words a day, but if you do not repeat these words after 2-3 days, it is natural that they will be forgotten. For this, you can effectively use the places where your eyes fall the most. Personally, I stick my newly learned words on a small piece of paper or on various stacks on the door of my room and on my desk.

Communication.

Language is a means of communication. We all know that communication plays an important role in language learning. Go to Speaking Clubs at study centers or resource centres. Never be shy to speak even if you are not fluent yet. The one who tries to speak, even if he does not know the language better, wins than the one who is shy to participate in conversations. Never be shy to speak in general, keep speaking even if you make mistakes.

Or you can find a partner for constant training. Another advantage is that this method creates a unique competitive environment among partners. For example, you try to memorize in order not to fall behind your partner.

Adapt the language learning process to your daily life.

When learning a language, fit everything into your daily life. For example, if you go to the institute or school by bus every day, you will lose at least 30-35 minutes of your time. You can use this time effectively. You can listen to various exercises or audios to develop Listening Comprehension.

Use your smartphone correctly and effectively, you should use easy methods to learn quickly in the process of language learning. Your smartphone will help you with this. Using your smartphone, you can download free English language learning programs and use them without attending paid courses. You can also watch various English movies with subtitles.

The main reasons for this are the natural tendency of children to learn languages, the fact that they have a strong ability to imitate, and the fact that children have more time than adults. It should be noted that 6-7-year-old children do not understand the meaning of information, but memorize it mechanically. Therefore, it is necessary not to start teaching English to elementary school students with grammatical concepts. Otherwise, from the first step of teaching a foreign language, it is possible to strain the child and extinguish his interest. Therefore, teaching a foreign language to young children is very difficult and responsible. The following methods can be used to teach children English in a meaningful and interesting way

 -To teach by means of songs and poems the letters or combinations that are difficult to explain or remember, that do not have meaning.

For example, it can be shown that children learning the English alphabet by singing is more effective than just memorizing. – games related to mental and physical activities;

-Cartoons;

While children do not understand the words in the cartoon during language learning, they try to understand the words they use through the actions of the cartoon characters. This is an interesting and effective way for children to learn the language.

– role play, the teacher should role-play or play it to children while teaching some information, for example, the names of animals or birds. For example: one student shows a dog howling, a cat meowing, another student can show which animal these sounds are.

– subject environment;

Children learn the language better if the teacher can create that environment depending on the subject. For example: traveling, birthday, in the kitchen, etc. On the topic of traveling, the teacher organizes a trip, information about the importance of traveling (foot, bicycle, automobile, train, boat, airplane), where to travel (Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, England, USA) will give. This situation strengthens the students’ vocabulary, language abilities, and expands their worldview.

RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Children have a strong interest in finding answers to riddles. Therefore, when the teacher says the riddle in English or Uzbek, he should ask the children to say the answer in English. Then children learn words quickly.

Practical training (tasting fruits and other foods, smelling flowers); This sentence can be explained by the thoughts of a practicing psychologist: “The pedagogue, who wants something to be firmly fixed in the children’s memory, should use as many of the child’s sensory organs as possible: eyes, ears, sound organs, muscle sensations, and even if if possible, he should try to involve the sense of smell and taste in the process of remembering”. For example: when a student tastes an apple, its color is red or green, He should give information about whether it is sweet (tasty) or big (small), and after feeding other students, he should ask the children to give information about that fruit in English If the teacher asks the students the English name of the colors, the child will immediately remember that they are red-red and green-green. Ensures that information is kept in memory for a long time. – through gestures, facial expressions; When the teacher says something to the child or gives an order, for example, it is understandable to the child if he uses gestures in sentences such as come here, open the book, stand up, look at the blackboard. .

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS

In conclusion, it should be said that teaching a modern language is aimed at forming a more cultured person, who has the skills of self-analysis and systematization of new knowledge. Innovative methods are an integral part of the modernization of the entire system. This ensures that teachers can familiarize themselves with the most advanced approaches and then integrate them and use them in their work to achieve significant growth in the education system. Many organizations are moving to a new level by using multimedia capabilities to send and receive information. The use of computers and other devices determines the success of the entire educational process. Speech skills in the trainings held during the educational process. Sufficient attention should be paid to formation and development of social flexibility. In addition, the success of each lesson in education largely depends on the correct organization of the training. The lesson should be based on the creative cooperation of the teacher and the student. Only then will students be able to think independently and will be educated. Learning English is not easy. It requires you to set a clear goal, constantly repeat new words, communicate without shame when you have the opportunity, adapt the process of learning English to your life, and finally, use technology effectively.

Essay from Nozima Raximova

The period of national renaissance is modernism in our country

movement

Jadidism first arose in the 80s of the XIX century in the Crimea under the leadership of Ismail Gaspirali among the Crimean Tatars. The representatives of the Jadid movement often called themselves progressives, later Jadids. The advanced progressive forces of that time, first of all, the intellectuals, felt that the local population was lagging behind the global development and realized the need to reform the society.

The term “Renaissance” refers to ancient literature and refers to the revival of science in the Middle Ages. Its scope varies in different countries, covering the period from the 9th to the 15th century. “National revival” is based on the realization of the nation’s identity. When we say the literature of the “National Renaissance” period, we mean the literature of the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. It is a unique era.

It is known that the word “jadid” means “new”, “innovation”. There has never been a place and time in the history of mankind, when the innovation that entered the life of the society was not met with great resistance. The harmony of society and human life will sooner or later lead to decline. That is why the leading intellectuals of their time were considered to need new ideas to fight against or prevent the decline that started yesterday in society and human life.

The period of national renaissance is an important period in the historical development of every nation, in which the nation strives to understand its identity, culture and history, and to form new views based on the requirements of the times. The Jadidism movement that arose in our country in the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century is a vivid example of such a period of national renaissance.

The modernist movement was mainly formed in response to the colonial policy of the Russian Empire, the main goal of which was to preserve the national identity and arm the people with modern knowledge. Jadids, that is, supporters of renewal, sought to develop modern education and culture without abandoning old traditions.

Abdulla Qadiri is one of the prominent representatives of the Jadidchilik movement, who widely promoted the ideas of realizing national identity and preserving national values ​​through his novel “Otkan Kunlar”. Also, modernists such as Fitrat, Munavvarqori Abdurashidkhanov, Hamza Hakimzada Niyazi contributed greatly to the development of this movement with their works and activities.

The Jadidism movement played a major role in the cultural and scientific development of our country during the period of national renaissance. Thanks to this movement, important steps were taken to realize the national identity, increase the level of education of the people and reform the society. People’s literacy increased, national culture and literature developed through the schools established by Jadids, newspapers and magazines published.

The period of national renaissance and modernism occupy an important place in the history of our country. Through this movement, our nation realized its identity, took important steps towards acquiring modern knowledge and renewing society. The ideas and activities of Jadids have not lost their importance even today, and they are an example for the younger generation. Therefore, it is the duty of each of us to study the history of the Jadidist movement and its achievements, to preserve the legacy of our great ancestors.

Poetry from Jumanazarov Zohidjon

Young teen Central Asian boy, short dark hair, reading glasses, and a white collared shirt and black coat and tie.
LIFE IS A JOURNEY

Life is a journey, winding and long
Full of moments both weak and strong
It's a tapestry woven with joy and pain
A symphony of loss and gain

Each day a new chapter to unfold
With stories of love, and tales untold
A dance of laughter, a song of tears
A canvas painted with hopes and fears

Life is a gift, a precious treasure
A tapestry of moments to be measured
So cherish each breath, embrace the unknown
For in this life, our true selves are shown

Poetry from Maftuna Rustamova

Central Asian teen girl with hair behind her head, small earrings, and a pink blouse with flowers on the right. She's seated at a desk with books on a shelf and flowers behind her.

Human value.

They say that money solves everything in the world. They say that human welfare does not allow this. You cannot do anything without money. No matter how much knowledge you have, you cannot live without money.

Even those who acquire this knowledge sell it for money, and the owner of clear knowledge is left behind.

Essay from Maftuna Rustamova


                             Central Asian teen girl with long straight dark hair, brown eyes, and a black jacket with a zipper.

The family is our small homeland. The family various, large or small. The environment in the family is all it is considered important for dialogues. There is also such a proverb in our people.

“The bird does what it sees in the nest.” This proverb is not said for nothing. Because the little boy has a kind of eloquence, the order and decency he sees in his house and on the street, in various crowded places he will also speak in the same way. Don’t forget, whatever order and communication you see in your home, even in public places you don’t always have to adjust this. If you’ve learned beautiful and human manners and your family’s order is exemplary you leave yourself a lot with your upbringing first and set an example for your peers. This is your main achievement and will bring thanks to your family environment and help you show yourself and rise.

Poetry from Duane Vorhees

MY ABSENT PRESENCE

People will weep.

Maybe they’ll pray.

They’ll likely say

nice things – Oh, Christ!

–When I met them.

–Where we took care.

–How I look now.

Then all my friends

will become still

as our whole past

binds up their minds

and that’s my brand.

ANOTHER YEAR ENDING

The geese are gone.

Another winter’s coming on,

and then a sound sleep

before we wake and leap.

Another year’s ending,

and then a new beginning.

Because life needs a frame

every year’s the same.

DUCK TAPE AND CHICKEN WIRE

A man can fix any part

with duck tape and chicken wire

except for a broken heart

and a field of wheat on fire.

The crop will grow back again

but the heart will never mend.

TONY

My first dog taught me justice,

mercy, and forgiveness.

When I pulled Tony’s tail

he bit me without fail,

and then he’d lick my face.

And thus I learned ‘bout grace.

God gave a dog to Adam

both as consolation

and as compensation

for the loss of Eden.

773౺

I’m upside down in Hell deeper than a dry well.

Oh, but why am I here with crooked financiers,

blasphemers, murderers, thieves, and adulterers?

The Devil came to me and he grinned wickedly.

“You’re here because you failed to live a life unveiled.

You had your mortal faults and kept them in your heart

instead of admitting, instead of correcting.

You, no self-inventor, just let your failings foster.

You never tried to move, get better, or improve.

If you’d been more driven, now you’d be in Heaven.”

And then I woke in sweats,

aware of mortal debts.

EXACTLY!

Eggs white, eggs brown.

The yolk is the same,

exactly the same.

Albumen’s the same,

exactly the same.

White ones, brown ones,

their soul is the same.

Abigail George interviews South African playwright Dillon Israel

Capetonian Dillon Israel’s dream: on starting out, the unproduced playwright and his city

Dillon Israel is a South African actor, creative, storyteller and an unproduced playwright. He lives in Ravensmead, a quiet suburb in Cape Town, near Tygerberg Hospital. He enjoys cooking, baking cakes, making desserts and he loves the outdoors. He reached out to me. He was looking for a mentor. He has a lot of energy. I can hear it in the sound of his voice as I listen to the voice messages he sends me. I came into contact with Dillon Israel in September of this year.

He is twenty-nine years old and wants to “make it”, like so many people in this country in their twenties, hungry to work in the film and television industry. He loves watching South African television, Chinese films and Turkish shows. He asks me to explain the meaning of his dreams. I tell him that there’s symbolism and meaning behind everything in a dream. We have become friends. He shares with me his hopes and his dreams. I tell him that he was born with a gift, but whether he believes me or not is another matter.

We talk about our struggles and depression, loneliness and hardships, the church, mindfulness, having an “attitude of gratitude” and prayer. We talk about our problems, the major issues in our lives that we have in common, we laugh, discuss the antics of our dogs. We tell each other that our mothers find it difficult to say they are proud of us but that we know they are proud of us anyway. We have brought happiness into each other’s lives.

By day he attends a college situated in Bellville in Cape Town. He loves his mother, his dog, Snowy, watching films on Netflix, his niece, writing, listening to Adele and gospel music, making malva pudding on a Sunday, going to the shops with his mother and, like the North American writer John Irving, being alone. Dillon Israel is a young man who prefers his own company to that of others. He lives faith and has a spiritual outlook on life. He prays, has taught me to remain prayerful in my own life and encourages me in my own faith.

This Capetonian storyteller is soft spoken, thoughtful, highly sensitive, an empath, what you would describe as a dreamer and he thinks before he speaks. Nobody has encouraged him to pursue this dream, writing for the stage. Not his family, not his teachers in high school and not the “drama people” he reached out to in the industry. Most certainly, no one has ever told him to become a poet. When I tell him that he can achieve this, he is nervous. He says that he doesn’t believe me. I hope his thinking will change his belief system.

This is why I text him on a daily basis and motivate him. I want to inspire him as much as he has inspired me. I can’t understand the world we live in where teachers do not encourage their students to read and to write. Both are difficult to master but can increase the learner’s self-confidence and help develop personal growth, improve self and lead to an individual having a fulfilling life. I want his dream to come true like mine did. I don’t want him to struggle as I did in youth in making my dream to become a full-time writer a reality. I tell him he has his entire life ahead of him. That he has enough time for the inner vision that he has for his life to manifest and become a reality. I ask Dillon Israel if he reads. He doesn’t like reading, he says. He prefers watching television and series on Netflix. I can’t relate.

I grew up in a house filled with books, rarely watching television. Books were my university, my school of life. It was Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast that inspired me to go back to writing after a period of illness and hospitalisation for manic depression. I found a message of hope in Salinger’s Catcher In The Rye, in the novels of Fitzgerald, the masculine power of Jay Gatsby, John Updike, and in the poetry of Rilke. These authors, Rilke, brought me back to life. We come from two different generations, Dillon Israel and I. We are as different as chalk and cheese, two polar opposites. I tell him that in this industry you can’t take rejection personally.

I tell him to always be humble and kind, like the country musician Tim McGraw’s song. I give him life advice. I give him writing advice. I tell him to write what he knows, that he should write from his own life experience, that he should make characters out of the people he knows, passersby. I tell him to do a poetry course with award-winning South African writer and poet Finuala Dowling. I tell him that doing an online course in creative writing will help him. Already his English is improving. I talk to him as if he was a younger sibling just about to start out in the world. I talk to him about looking for opportunities, I talk to him about responsibility and the writing life, seeking daily inspiration. He tells me I’m changing his life. When I think of Dillon Israel painstakingly writing in a notebook on his desk I think of the poetic genius of Ocean Vuong.

Today he is listening to Jimmy Swaggart. We don’t have much time to talk. I’m working on a novel with both a modern and historical context and perspective and he has a project that he’s working on for college. I send him links to poetry by Russian Anna Akhmatova (“Memory of Sun”, Austrian-German Rainer Maria Rilke (“You Who Never Arrived”) and the North American Charles Bukowski (“Bluebird” and “So Now”). He is excited about writing. So far, he is making a lot of progress. He has disciplined himself and I am impressed by his confidence, his style of writing and I’m just happy that he is happy, that he’s starting to believe in himself.

It’s such an honour and a privilege to help another person, suffering for their art, to help them achieve their dreams, to tell them that absolutely nothing stands in their way. He might not know who Athol Fugard is, the late Taliep Peterson and Dawid Kramer’s productions that made it to New York and the United Kingdom, but I can inspire him to reach those heights. Maybe one day he gets to “pay it forward” and mentor someone of his own.

I confide in him my love of Barbra Streisand films, Yentl and The Way We Were. He tells me his parents used to enjoy watching films like that. I feel my age. We forget about the lonely journeys that forge our poetic and literary forays. The childhood that we create in our imagination, the childhood from memory. I feel that mentorship is a calling. I fear that people think there is no more reading of books to be done. Now there is the reign of social media that has taken over our access to information. I believe in dreamers. I too was a dreamer once upon a time. I say good night to Dillon and his Snowy and finish watching a documentary on Anna Akhmatova. Afterwards I write a poem on aspects of the personality affected by loneliness.

The music in the poetry speaks to me, speaks to my soul. Tomorrow, Dillon Israel will set off for college, nurture the dream of being a playwright, and writing for the stage full-time in his heart. I’ll be at my desk working on my latest novel.
