Why It is Important to Learn English...
English is spoken as a first language by about 375 million, as a second language by as many people and as a foreign language by around 750 million. It has official or special status in at least 70 countries and is being learned by about a billion people. These numbers alone make English important to learn.

How To Learn English!
Speak without Fear
The biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do this. The fastest way to learn anything is to do it – again and again until you get it right. Like anything, learning English requires practice. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.
Even if you study English at a language school it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class. Using as many different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster. There are many different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to only one or two. The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect.
The absolute best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English.” .
There are some good English teachers that have had to learn English as a second language before they could teach it. However, there are several reasons why many of the best schools prefer to hire native English speakers. One of the reasons is that native speakers have a natural flow to their speech that students of English should try to imitate. The closer Lincoln English Jakarta students can get to this rhythm or flow, the more convincing and comfortable they will become.
This is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents.
Music can be a very effective method of learning English. In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension. The best way to learn though, is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings. There are several good internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time. And if you like to sing, fine.
Only by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises, can you really improve your knowledge of any language.
Many people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun. However, by completing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. One of the best reasons for doing lots of exercises and tests is that they give you a benchmark to compare your future results with. Often, it is by comparing your score on a test you took yesterday with one you took a month or six months ago that you realize just how much you have learned. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing. Start now by doing some of the many exercises and tests on this site, and return in a few days to see what you've learned. Keep doing this and you really will make some progress with English.
Nobody likes to hear their own voice on tape but like tests, it is good to compare your tapes from time to time. You may be so impressed with the progress you are making that you may not mind the sound of your voice as much.
Listen to English
By this, we mean, speak on the phone or listen to radio broadcasts, audiobooks or CDs in English. This is different than watching the television or films because you can’t see the person that is speaking to you. Many learners of English say that speaking on the phone is one of the most difficult things that they do and the only way to improve is to practice.
Have fun! And Contact Lincoln English Jakarta to have more information.

Five Shortcuts to Vocabulary Building
In a hectic lifestyle, we take pleasure in shortcuts. We want to spend less time and learn more. Most people think that vocabulary building is time consuming. It was true a few decades ago, but now with technological advancements, you can accelerate your vocabulary building and cut down on your learning time.
- If you want to build your vocabulary quickly, an effective way to do this is with high quality vocabulary building software such as Ultimate Vocabulary. In as little as 10 minutes per day you can use this tool to help you improve your vocabulary.
- Get a new word in your inbox everyday. Dictionary.com has this facility. Once you sign up, you will be sent a new word in your inbox with its meaning, pronunciation, example sentences and origin. When you check your inbox, you will find a new word waiting for you there. This is the least time consuming method of vocabulary building. You don’t even have to spend time searching for a new word.
- Another interesting way to build vocabulary quickly is to use flash cards. Pick up a new word and write it down on a small card with its meaning. Just the word and the meaning will suffice. You don’t want to overdo it. Keep the card in your pocket. Peep at it whenever you get time. If you are a student, take care that you don’t take it to the examination hall. The teacher might not accept your explanation.
- Keep a pencil close at hand while reading. You can be reading a magazine, a comic, a novel or a newspaper. When you come across a word that you are unfamiliar with, circle it with the pencil and use a sticky colored page marker to bookmark the page. Later, when you have time, pick up a dictionary and look up the words you have marked. If you use a vocabulary building program such as Ultimate Vocabulary you will be able to add your own words to customizable word lists with the added benefit of testing yourself on those words. The software will provide you with learning tools such as flash cards and multiple choice tests.
- Play word games instead of video games. This site has lots of fun word games that you can play to build your vocabulary. Or, if your prefer “offline” games, why not get together with some friends for a game of scrabble. Finally, software such as Ultimate Vocabulary gives you interactive exercises specifically designed to build your vocabulary.
For children, building vocabulary is vital to their long term success. A structured vocabulary and language skills building program is important and provided by Lincoln English Jakarta.
