HOW TO LEARN TOEIC / ENGLISH

Hi, everyone! I’m Duc (Duc Crazy). Today I’m going to share my method to learn English for you who want to learn English, love English, but your English is not good enough, even you don’t know anything about English.

OK. I want to share you the method to learn TOEIC and Basic English.

  1)  TOEIC

-       Firstly, If you want to learn TOEIC. If you want to pass 450 points in the TOEIC test at your university.  If must answer some questions:

·         Do you love TOEIC or English?  è Remember that: You must love English first if you want to learn it. LEARN ENGLISH WITH YOUR HEART

·         How long do you want to get 450 TOEIC points from now on? è Determine the time you want to achieve. In my opinion, you should spend 3 months learning hard.
+ 2 months first: Improve: PRONUNCIATION – VOCACBULARY – a little GRAMMAR – LISTENING BASIC ENGLISH.

+ 1 month last: Prepare for the TOEIC test by practice LISTENING and READING every day.

·         How long do you spend learning English per day?  è Determine how much time you want to spend learning it per day. Then, make plans to learn it each day. I think you should learn it for about 4 hours.
+ 2 months first:
Pronunciation = 1h
Vocabulary = 1h
Grammar: 15’~ 30’.

Listening:1,5h.

+ 1 month last: spend 4 hours for both LISTENING and READING.

-       You can join this group “Toeic practice club” on Facebook to learn TOEIC, learn from their posts or find some good documents for yourself. There are so many good documents about TOEIC and almost people there learn TOEIC by themselves. You can join this and get motivation from them. I think this is a great group about TOEIC.
