Experts, learning English, H. Douglas Brown explained five principles of learning English is effective following :
1. Way of life
If we learn English in the country where the language is used in the mother language, we generally will take the language more quickly because we are surrounded every day by the English language, up from sleep to return to bed. This is because English has become the integral part that is not from our lives. Similarly, we should do in Indonesia, if we want to learn English effectively: we must make the English language as part of our lives. That is, we should try to use it every day where possible. For that, we can read, hear, or speak with the English language on every occasion that we met or that we can create. For example, we can set aside time each day to read one article in English in one day. If an article has not been able to, one paragraph or one sentence per day is not a problem. We made our sentence is the sentence that day, and we use this expression in all opportunities that may exist in the day. Or, we can also take the time to listen to everything in the English language (songs, news, or cassettes containing speech in English) to get our ear to the foreign language. That we can do is listen to the cassettes (both songs, speeches, presentations, or cassette in English language learning) in the car throughout the journey from home to office or vice versa. We can also try to write in English (writing a memo, note, or write a work plan that we will do during the week or for the next day). In principle, surround our lives with the English language is a topic-the topic we senangi or we need.

2. Total commitment
To make the English language that is not as integral part of our lives, we must have a commitment to involve the English language in our lives physically, the mental, and emotional. Physically, we can try to listen, read, write, and practice pronunciation in English, constantly and repeatedly. The mental or intellectual, we can try to think in English every time we use the English language.

For example, in understanding the English language, not a word per word, but the overall meaning. We can try to identify some expressions in English which has a more or less the same, for example: How're you?, How's life?, How's business? (do not glued on one expression only). And, most important is that we are emotional involvement with the English language, that is we need to have a high motivation to learn English, and we need to find the "positive things" that we can enjoy, or who can give us if we are able to benefit English. These things will give you incredible energy that we are to remain in the vibrant learning English. These three aspects (physical, mental, and emotional) this must be a total Involve us in our learning process, if we want to learn English more effectively.

3. Trying
Learning a language is like learning a bike ride or drive a car to learn. We can not only read and understand the "manual", but we should try to use it. In the learning phase (experiment phase), it is very reasonable if we make a mistake. Which is important to know that we do mistakes and improve on the next opportunity. Akan better if at the time we try to have teachers who can tell us the error that we do. Teachers should not be teachers in formal schools or English courses. Teachers could be a cassette, which you can listen to us and compare us with the word, a lesson that we can read and check the answer, or can also acquaintances, or relatives who can help us if we have a problem or have the things that we want to ask. We need not be ashamed to ask, and no fear to do wrong. Of questions that we ask of the error and we do, we can learn a lot.

4. Beyond class activities
If we learn English formally (in class, in the course), hours are usually limited study: four hours a week, six hours a week or eight hours a week. That day in class to learn this course is limited. So that learning can be more effective, we must create opportunities to "study" is also in the off-hours learning in the classroom: discussion with friends, visiting websites that offer free English language learning, or communicating in English with friends, or native speakers ( either through the mail, email, or direct the conversation). We can also try to read newspapers, magazines, textbooks, listening to the radio, songs, or watch the events and movies. So that the learning can be more interesting, choose topics that match our interests, our needs, or related educational background and work that we diligent.

5. Strategies
If the commitment, courage to try, and made the English language as a part of life we have to apply, the next step is to apply the appropriate learning strategies to support our learning process. This strategy can be developed and we adjust to the personality and learning style of each of us. It's easier to learn by using the "cue-cards", which is a small card that reads the phrase or words that we want to kuasai accompanied by example sentences that use those words. This card can take us where we are going. Whenever there is an opportunity (at the time of waiting for a taxi, waiting for lunch is served, or at the time in which are trapped kendaran bottleneck), we can take this card and read it and try to make improvised new words in the same sentence structure. There are also people who learn more easily with direct oral communication with other people or native speakers. Of this communication they ask, listen, and improve speech and improve their vocabulary with our style of learning.


Each person can have more than one style of learning (eg visual and auditory, visual and or kinesthetic). No matter what the style of our study, if we already know, we can search and apply learning strategies that are tailored to the learning style so that the results can be more effective.
