1. Tambah kosakata

Kunci utama dalam pembelajaran bahasa asing apa pun adalah koleksi kata-kata. Kekayaan kata yang memadai akan membantu kita dalam bercakap atau berkomunikasi. Cara paling mudah menambah vocabulary adalah mencatat dalam buku kecil setiap kata asing yang ditemui.

2. Buat kalimat

Kata yang sudah terhimpun dalam buku kecil tadi lantas dicari artinya. Setelah diketahui apa artinya, cobalah menggunakan kata-kata tersebut dalam kalimat sendiri. Hal ini akan menguatkan pemahaman sekaligus menancapkan hafalan dalam pikiran.

3. Tonton video Youtube

Menonton konten Youtube adalah solusi mudah dan murah. Paket data kini semakin terjangkau sehingga untuk mengakses video di kanal Youtube tidak butuh biaya mahal. Tontonan video seperti Ted Talk sangat bagus untuk melatih presentasi sekaligus menambah perbendaharaan kata.

4. Dengarkan lagu

Mendengarkan lagu, walaupun mungkin kurang populer saat ini, bisa dicoba sebagai cara menambah kosata bahasa Inggris. Belajar dari lagu bukan sekadar menambah vocabulary tetapi juga merangkainya dalam kalimat. Dalam lagi sering pula ditemukan majas atau figurative language yang akan memperkaya pembelajaran kita. 

5. Gabung komunitas

Untuk mendongkrak kepercayaan diri, jangan lupa untuk sering praktik berkomunikasi, terutama presentasi dalam kelompok. Inilah manfaat bergabung dalam komunitas. Di sana kita bisa bertukar ide, juga sharing mengenai tips yang efektif dalam belajar bahasa Inggris.

Lewat komunitas kita juga bisa mengikuti berbagai kegiatan untuk mengasah kreativitas, tak terkecuali public speaking menggunakan bahasa Inggris. 

Itulah sekian tips yang bisa dijajal untuk belajar bahasa Inggris dengan mudah dan murah tanpa harus mengikuti kursus mahal yang belum tentu teruji. Belajar mandiri bisa sukses asal ada komitmen dan keseriusan, dan terus berlatih pantang menyerah.

That's an English tactic!

Getting into Hot Water

Today I read the status of a friend on Facebook. She was making a remark about a few topics one of which is fraud in the self-publishing industry. The owner of the publisher was said to have deceived several customers who had completed the payment but received no books they ordered. This immediately arouses my attention as I'm currently running a self-publishing house of my own. What's more agonizing is that those deceived are but bloggers to which I also belong. I'm speaking on behalf of both parties. Getting into hot water means getting a trouble (Credit: yanalya/freepik) She should have been more careful in managing her issues in the publishing business. Regardless of the victims, what she commits is likely to ruin our fellow publishers as well as tantalize blogosphere. This news should be the words of everyone very soon. An idiomatic expression goes with her case. She's getting into hot water which means she's placing herself in great danger. She's both...

Down in The Dumps

I have been down in the dumps lately due to the process of moving out to my hometown. Finding the best vehicle to transport our goods and belonging has been no easy task. Luckily, my brother has helped me out to get a truck from where he is living. On the other side, we have concerns about the capacity of the truck in accommodating our stuff. We don't have lots of things though, but books are our treasure which cannot be left behind. Don't let yourself down in the dumps (Credit: cookie studio/freepik) The truck driver has required us to get him a cover letter from the local district police to keep him secure during the travel. You know what, dealing with police officers and other government officials is something we Indonesians are fed up with. Yes, I'm so worried and feeling uneasy. Unhappy thoughts run through me. Idiomatically, I'm being down in the dumps . Down in the Dumps artinya sangat bersedih, sedang gelisah

Off the Beaten Track

Back to the years of senior high school, I was once spending a night in my best friend's home. While his village is administered to Lamongan Regency, the location was quite far from the capital city and was actually closer to Bojonegoro administration. I couldn't hide my surprise when spotting the houses as well as the street in the village. They were totally different from I normally see in my neighborhood. The houses looked so outmoded that I almost forgot my whereabouts. Off the beaten track = very remote (Credit: wirestock/freepik) I jokingly said to him, "Man, is the village of yours still under Soekarno presidency or what?" He responded with a smile. The objects in the village tended to create a particular ambiance of antiquity. Something very old-fashioned. In order to get to the place, we had to take a bus and then ride a rented motorcycle as there was no other public transport available. When I had to poop, my friend led me to a large river where a...
