How to learn English from scratch?

In the huge army of English learning, there are such a number of people, who are standing on the starting line of zero foundation, with goals and beliefs, ready to go. Well, I believe many people have this question: I have no foundation, can I learn English well? The answer is yes! Think about those CET-4 and CET-6 candidates with high scores, and even the excellent translators on the international stage. Every English learner starts from a piece of white paper, and slowly writes brilliantly step by step! This is a long process, there is no shortcut, but as long as willing to pay, persevere, nothing can not! Let's take a look at the essential elements in the primary stage of English learning!

1、 Phonetic symbols and letters

Since it starts from zero, the first thing to master is the pronunciation and writing of 26 letters and 48 international phonetic symbols. Don't underestimate these seemingly simple symbols. If you don't learn them well, they will become a stumbling block on your way forward in the future. Why can others have beautiful pronunciation but I can't? Because you didn't learn phonetics well! Many people have learned intermediate level English, grammar and vocabulary are not a problem, but the pronunciation is not standard, so they have to go back to learn phonetics. In order not to go back, it is necessary to learn phonetics and letters well from the beginning.

2、 Words

From the beginning to accumulate a certain vocabulary, the future of English listening, speaking, reading and writing are helpful! When it comes to memorizing words, we will ask: what's a good way? The way of reciting words varies from person to person, but it is necessary to write more, read more and use more. Many people remember the pronunciation and spelling of words, they no longer care about them, wrong! The purpose of memorizing words is not only to be able to read and write, but also to be able to master them if they can't be used. Here we recommend a method: draw inferences from one instance and make sentences.

First of all, when you come across a new word, you should look it up in the dictionary to see how many parts of speech it has and what the corresponding meaning is under each part of speech;

Secondly, find other parts of speech derived from this word, for example: friend is a noun, and after adding the affix - ly, it becomes friendly; Kindly) as an adjective and adverb;

Finally, look at the examples in the dictionary to find out how these words are used, in what context, and what the difference is, and try to make your own sentences. Tom is my friend (noun), and he is very friendly (adjective). Making sentences can not only help us master the usage of words, but also deepen our memory. When you can use a new word to make a sentence correctly, it means that you have mastered it!

3、 Grammar

When it comes to English grammar, many people think it's a big head. All kinds of tenses and clauses are so complicated! In fact, any subject is from simple to profound, English is no exception. Learning grammar is like building a house. First of all, we should clarify the basic grammar context, lay a good foundation, and then slowly supplement and expand, so as to consolidate the knowledge. So, it is necessary to choose a good set of teaching materials. New concept English is a good choice, from the new one's basic sentence dialogue, to the new two's rich and interesting essays, and then to the new three new four's various articles with a wide range of subjects, you can make a qualitative leap from the accumulation of quantity. In addition to learning grammar knowledge, this textbook can also be used for oral English, listening, reading and writing exercises. The words covered in it can help you expand your vocabulary. At the beginning stage, you can choose new concept one and new concept two to learn. After the foundation is consolidated, you can sprint to new three or even new four! To find new concept texts and learning materials, go to Hujiang new concept station

Finally, I want to tell you that learning English is a gradual process! Don't fish for two days and dry the net for three days! Learners of zero starting point must work hard at the beginning stage. Only when the foundation is well laid, can they march to a higher level! Have confidence in yourself and don't flinch just because you are still a blank sheet of paper. Persevere, a little makes a lot, one day you will become a master of English!
