Learning English

When we study English, of course, we have once made mistakes. Please, don't be afraid of making mistakes. If we don't make mistakes, it means we never learn anything from the foreign language. We also learn from the mistakes. 

Many mistakes that we usually do is related to grammar and pronunciation, 

Will you marry me? 

In our country, menikah dengan... translated marry with or marry to. Most people choose the first phrase: marry with, eventhoug it is wrong and the right answer: marry to = menikah dengan. 

How to pronounce merry vs. marry? 

To answer the question, we should learn about intonation, stress or un-stress and correct pronunciation so that it can differ them. 

I have got a story from Malang town square (Matos) for my holiday. There were three tourists from Thailand who are starving and need something to eat. They wanted to buy " Bakpao".and the seller from Indonesia. The seller and buyers could not communicate each other because they come different countries. Then I helped them for mediation by using English as International language. Last but not least, the transaction ran well and they were happy. 

Next, I have gor a new friend from Vietname. If I use Indonesian language and she uses Vietname, the communicaton cannot run well. So we both use English for communicaton. That is benefit of learning English. 

In learning English, we should  have and enlarge vocabulary in order to make us communication easy. From words and phrases, we can arrange into sentences or expression for communicaton. It is useful for our spoken and written when we need. 

Besides that, the important one that we should have is strong motivation. We never give up learning English everyday. Then, we must practise it everytime and everywhere in order to speak English fluently. Practice makes perfect. 

Let's start speaking English.
