How to learn English
(1) When you decide to study English seriously, the first thing to do is not to buy a grammar book, but to train your ears and start to recognize and accept the unique sounds brought by this new language. Skip the step of translating into your mother tongue in your mind, and you can learn to think directly in English, otherwise you will always be practicing "translation".
(2) Pay attention to avoid grammar books that show every grammar rule in great detail. This overwhelming and even uncontrollable grammar list will be a disaster for you when you teach yourself. You need more than one English pronunciation book that fully explains the English pronunciation system and describes the mouth shape and tongue position in detail, so as to complement each other.
The Origin and Development of English
(1) English is a West Germanic language, which was first used by Britain in the Middle Ages and became the most widely used language in the world because of its vast colonies. The Anglo tribe is the ancestor of the British, and it is one of the Germanic tribes that later migrated to Great Britain, called England.
(2) Since17th century, modern English has spread all over the world under the extensive influence of Britain and America. Through various print and electronic media in these countries, English has become one of the dominant languages in the world, and languages also occupy a dominant position in many regions and professional environments, such as science, navigation and law.
