How to choose teaching materials for self-study English?
It is estimated that many people, like the landlord, did not learn English well in college, so it is still very important to remember English after work. Ha ha. But what is commendable is that you can now have the idea of teaching yourself English, and you will certainly find a good teaching material suitable for your self-study. I once read a very good article in a forum to guide self-taught English learners to choose suitable teaching materials. You should also take a look to see what kind of self-taught English learners you belong to, and then choose the teaching materials suitable for your study. Of course, English learning is a step-by-step process. Don't expect a qualitative change in a short time. It is estimated that it will take several months or even half a year to have a very good learning effect! I wish you early success. The article is as follows, take a look for yourself!

According to the survey of foreign authoritative organizations, China people spend a lot of time on self-learning English, but their practical application ability is lower than that of many other non-English speaking countries. English has always been a stumbling block in China's study and career development. One of the reasons is that there is no targeted choice of teaching materials for self-study English, and the other is that there is no good learning method. Then, in the face of a dazzling array of English textbooks, which one should different people choose that is more suitable for them? After many investigations, the reporter came to the conclusion that a good set of English textbooks should first have high content pertinence; Secondly, we should have our own editing ideas; Finally, we should have a unique learning method. The following are several excellent textbooks recommended for people with different needs:

The first group: learners who want to master spoken English quickly.
