how I got to speak English

It has been a long while since my last post on HIUK. Many people asked me how I got to speak English so well.

Back in 1995 when I was a teenager who went to the UK for the first time, I did not speak English much, except for hello, how are you, I am fine, thank you! From someone who could barely speak English having to move to the UK and use English as main language of communication with anyone and everyone, it was inevitable that English language because second nature to me.

During that time, talking in English, watching English TV, reading English books day in day out, after two years, I became fluent in English.

For anyone who does not see themselves travelling abroad, nor using English on a daily basis, I would recommend that you use readily available social media as by ways of practising English. The more you watch movies, reading books, the more you understand. Even if you are not quite sure, but what you will pick up is new vocabularies. I guarantee your English will dramatically improve.
