here’s my steps , I’m an ESL student to.
1. watch your favorite movie without translation , but instead you Can Put the english script itself (( It will really helps you as it helps me))
2- try to learn new word everyday, ( but the most important thing is ,, You know how to use this word by doing practises and read examples on the internet.
This site will help you:
3-Speak with native english as much you can, in the bus , street, school. or Even by online chatting, forum, and facebook!
I have a lot of chineese friends , they’re nice and learn very fast.
but you must you must you must
((( very important )) to check your pronunciation & spell the word correctly
don’t say : sank you
Say : THank you!
& have great weekend.

I’ve found classroom games are the best way to teach my ESL kids spelling. There are a ton of good games, both competitive and non-competitive, and some teachers and I have put together a database over at
Hope that helps!
