Люк (Luk)The most important thing? To have Fun!
Welcome to this booklet! In this booklet, I will use the phrase «have fun» many times. Why?
Because it is so, so, so difficult to learn English if it is not fun for you. If it is fun, you will learn fast, and you will enjoy it. What does it mean (что это значит), to «have fun»? Does it mean drinking beer? Or that I need to laugh? Or watching a good movie and talking with friends?
No! Простыми словами это означает: Наслаждаться! Получать удовольствие от процесса, которым ты поглощён и наполняться при этом новыми знаниями. Знаниями, которые «зовут» тебя.
So, we know that we need to have fun while (в то время, когда) we learn English. Learning English is NOT about learning grammar and rules, it’s about learning about yourself and the world through (через) communicating in English. That is fun! It is about the pursuit (поиск) of your interests in English!
If we learn English as if (как будто) it is some dead language (какой-то мёртвый язык), or as if the language is more important than the person you are speaking with, then the process will be long and boring for you. This applies (относится) to you, your children, or even your grandparents! To everyone!
Let’s imagine (давай представим) three pillars (столпа) which hold up the long-term success (долгосрочный успех) of your English. With these pillars, you may strengthen your long-term ability (способность) to learn and perfect your english language. With these pillars, your success is inevitable (неизбежно).
The first pillar: this is your ability to study. Many people think that this is the only (единственная) pillar. Studying is only one part (только одна часть) of the process. Still (все еще), it is important.
By reading this book, you are studying right now! Studying can be learning new words, new grammar, or constructions.
The second pillar: this is your desire (желание) to communicate (общаться) and express yourself (проявлять себя) in English with other people.
When we speak English with other people, it is like (это как) giving water to a flower.
The third pillar: this is your ability to connect (соединить) your personal (личные) interests with the English language.
What are your interests? What do you enjoy? Do you do this in English? This includes TV shows, video games, movies, music, history, food, travel, blogs, books, fashion, and more. There is so much content in the world that is in English.
