My 45 days of creative Ideas in learning English

Idiom of the day  " The proof is in the pudding " is an expression that means the value, quality, or truth of something must be judged based on direct experience with it—or on its results

English language like Arabic language has unique expressions. The expression " Let's go bananas" means to become extremely angry or excited:  She'll go bananas when you tell her the news. When she came onto the stage, the crowd went bananas.

A helpful thing I have  discovered is resetting the language on my phone can help me learn new words right away. For changing the language on my browser forced me to use English language in a practical way. 

Why studying grammar rules is not enough?  Now you might be wondering,  “If I want to write grammatical English, isn’t it faster to study grammar rules?” No, you cannot replace reading with studying grammar. You see, the English language has a lot of subtleties (rules or details that are complicated or difficult to explain). It’s hard to understand these subtleties by simply studying grammar. Let me give you an example. Consider the words  say ,  speak ,  tell , and  talk . To a beginner, the differences between these words are subtle and confusing. It’s difficult to teach someone these distinctions through explanation alone.

How reading improves my writing  First of all, reading increased my vocabulary. Without a strong vocabulary, it’s impossible to write English well. Imagine having to write an English essay titled “The Best Diet for Weight Loss” without knowing words like  calorie ,  appetite ,  nutrition ,  supplement , or  intake . It’s going to be difficult. More importantly, reading helps you write  in a way that conforms to grammar rules .

My advice for today is READ IN  ENGLISH. This is the first thing you must do. If you want to write English well, you need to read in English a lot. I’m not talking about reading a little…every now and then…for a couple of weeks. That’s not enough. Your reading has to be consistent and ongoing. Which means you need to adjust your routine so you can read in English every day. This is NOT optional. It’s impossible to improve your writing without a lot of reading!

Adverbs are important part of speech. They describe the verb to make a sentence richer in meaning 

I was always  hesitant  when  communicating in English. My tutor advice is to activate my English. To take part in the activities and practise my English skills by writing comments, recording myself speaking and sharing photos with descriptions. That  improved my  language level by activating the English I know.

How to use " will" in questions

JAM Today I learned a technique called JAM. There are many ways to help students' speaking fluency; one of them is Just a Minute (JAM).  JAM is an imprompt speech activity where the speaker is supposed to express their ideas on the given topic, within the duration of a minute, without hesitation and repetition.

A sentence Must have a subject . In a sentence, someone or something does the action or exists in the state of being. That word is the subject. Cindy arrived at ten o’clock. (Cindy = subject) We had sandwiches for lunch. (We = subject) The sandwiches were delicious. (sandwiches = subject)

Action or being words Every sentence has at least one word that expresses action or being. That word is a verb. Candice loves her engagement ring. (loves = action word) She will be pleased with your work. (will be = being word)

Today I knew the answer to the question: “Why should anyone bother labeling parts of speech?" Most of the time, you think about the meaning of a word, not its part of speech. Most of the time, your writing is correct. However, some important grammar rules depend upon knowing the difference between one part of speech and another.  For example, an adjective is a word that describes people, places, or things. An adverb is also a description, but it cannot do an adjective’s job. WRONG: Today the weather is beautifully . WHY IT IS WRONG: Beautifully is not the proper part of speech for this spot in the sentence. Beautifully is an adverb. You need an adjective here. RIGHT: Today the weather is beautiful . WHY IT IS RIGHT: The adjective beautiful works well here.

Today I knew how to make my sentences richer. Full sentence has a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a verb (what the subject is doing). 'He lied' has a subject and a verb so it can be a full sentence. Sentences should also include complete thoughts. For example, a phrase like 'While running' isn’t a complete thought, but "While running, I started to feel sick" is

For a while, I was having trouble in writing proper English. My tutor pointed out the importance of being consistent with tenses. Not to mix tenses in a sentence or a connected group of sentences. For example, if I use the past tense at the start of a sentence, I should use the past tense until the end. Mixing and changing tense mid-sentence confuse my listeners and readers.

Today I learnt  A common phrase that is incorrect is, "Practice makes perfect." This is far from the truth. Practice only makes what you are practicing permanent. If you practice the incorrect sentence, you will have perfected saying the sentence incorrectly. Therefore, it is important that you study material that is commonly used by most people.

 Today I learned that Reading and Listening is NOT enough.  Reading, listening, and speaking are the most important aspects of any language. However, speaking is the only requirement to be fluent. It is normal for babies and children to learn speaking first, become fluent, then start reading, then writing. So the natural order is listening, speaking, reading, then writing.

My tip for today is: Don't translate When I wanted to create an English sentence, I used to  translate the words from Arabic. The order of words is probably completely different and I was both slow and incorrect by doing this. Instead, I learned phrases and sentences so I don't have to think about the words I am saying. It should be automatic.

Today, I added a new habit to my routine, reading an article on gaming ( my favorite hobby) in English.  This article is about online gaming and its social effect on teens. https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20201215-how-online-gaming-has-become-a-social-lifeline

Basics You Need To Start learning English  https://youtu.be/8jTpBO384LM?si=fJuhSp8YylsrHLOU

Tip of the day  Phrases first Grammer next First memorise phrases and apply them, most of the native speakers don't concentrate on grammer as non-native speaker does. I recently read that one should memorise the sentences and after that we can add more complex words and even make up our own sentences but at first memorise. You can also read grammer rule book but don’t rush for grammer

Some basic writing rules: Begin each sentence with a capital letter. End each sentence with a period and a question with a question mark. Use capital letters with proper names and the pronoun "I." Each sentence contains a subject, verb and, usually, a complement (such as a prepositional phrase or direct object). Basic sentence structure is: Subject + verb + complement.

Today I learnt one of the most important basic grammar rules; the rule of agreement

 How can you reply to someone in an English conversation? These typical replies so that you sound more natural when you speak English. You’re welcome = a typical way to reply to “Thank you”. Other phrases which mean the same are “My pleasure”, “Not at all” or “Don’t mention it”. Here you are! = what you say when you give someone something. You hear this in shops a lot, when the assistant gives you change, or your bag of shopping. Rightaway / Straightaway = this phrase means “Immediately”. If someone asks you to do something, you can say this phrase to mean that you will do it now. Not again! = say this if something bad has happened another time. I think so = if someone asks you to clarify something, you can say “I think so” to say “yes”. For example: “Are you going to the party tonight?” or “Is this his book?”, you can reply “I think so” to mean “yes”. I suppose so = say this if you reluctantly agree to someone else’s request. For example, “Can I borrow your car?” – “I suppose so”....
