English as a language was brought to Britain by German invaders from what is now referred to as North West Germany,
which was initially a mixture of dialects. It is said that the internet is a rich source of information. A true attestation to this fact is that with the click of a button, you can access as many sites as you wish. Narrowing down to the English language, there are several websites in the internet that have dedicated themselves to teach English online.
English language learning in both learning institutions and through the internet has been simplified by the availability of different channels through which information on the same can be relayed. Teachers of the language have dedicated themselves to research based on improving and expanding the language and have therefore come up with numerous handouts and publications on the same. Interactive forums on the internet are other avenues through which the language is developed, and this has simplified the act teaching English learners.
Once you’ve achieved a basic mastery of the English language and have a good understanding of English vocabulary, the world of books and literature will open up to you. There are many good choices in the realm of English literature for you as a newly-minted speaker.
One of the best places to start is with the works of Ernest Hemingway. He is not only noted for his use of simple words, but his mastery of the English language is one of the best of all time. It would be hard to make a bad choice among his collected works, but a favorite of many new English students is The Old Man and the Sea.
English phrasal verbs, idioms, tongue twisters and other forms of the language have significantly contributed to the exponential growth of English as both a language taught in school for learning purposes and as a spoken language. However, it is worth noting that there are different forms of spoken English in the sense that it is largely influenced by a people's geographic location and way of life. For the lovers of the language, knowledge on proper word pronunciation and grammar is quite important. It is worth noting that most English words are not pronounced as they appear in their written form. Take for instance a word like 'knife.' To a layman, pronunciation of the word may prove to be quite a task.
This therefore means that there are certain rules and guidelines that are supposed to be followed when either writing or communicating in this language. English language teaching should give emphasis to strict adherence to these rules and guidelines to help learners desist from the trap of making unnecessary and avoidable grammatical errors. For one to be able to learn English speaking, interest in the language has to be profound and open mindedness should also be exercised. Vocabularies in the first lessons of English learning beginners will only do more harm than good to those willing to pursue learning of the dialect. It is therefore; of utter importance, that those teaching English learners ensure that there is a smooth transition from a beginner to an advanced learner.
