Secrets to Speaking
Simple English
Salam friends and
bloggers.
Utk post kali ni , sy
nk nk buat post psl how to cakap2 n belajar simple English.. sbb ni ha, saya
rasa bersalah a bit sbb xdpt nk bantu kawan2 saya yg jauh2 tu yg ramai gak pm kt facebook minta ajarkn dorg bljr bhasa inggeris..hmm.. Pernah gak saya tried tlg one of my friends ni
ajar her via fb je which she had to sometimes email me her writing n keje saya
to check her grammar..hmm..tpi cara ni mmg xeffective as this only could help
her in her writing , bkn in her speaking…saya xdpt gauge her performance in
terms of pronunciations,short phrases n many more.. hmmm…
Then , bila dah ramai
yg minta bantuan , sy rasa I need to do
something.. nk tlg cara yg paling mudah paling simple to me..
Dorang byk tnye ,’Noryn
, camne ko blajo English ek?”
Kita ni terkial2 la
nk pikir the exact way on how I did bla bla bla...….
Padahal , saya pn
xtaw nk ckp pe..mmg dah minat dri dulu plus my parents somehow n sometimes they
do speak English to each other if they had secret plans which they didn’t want
us( the anak2- ni masa sy kekecik la) to ikut or kacau daun..hikhik..from there , I put my hard effort
nih, buka la kamus to find the meaning of their secret words ..Then , yeayy..sy
pasti ikut mn mak abah pegi jnjln..kekek..sbb kita dah siap2 pkai bju dulu :P. Then ,
mak mmg rajin bgi sy encouragements to study in English even mak prnh
purchased some English workbooks dri one publisher ( which were quite expensive
if ikut kemampuan masa kami kecik2 pd ms dulu) , ni monthly.tpi xlama pun purchase sbb sy xnk mbazir..so from there , I put my
own effort.kekecik kat skolah ,saya admired semua cikgu English saya..mampu gak
remember their faces , n some of their names till today..Teacher Agnes,Pn Tong
, Teacher Vanitha , Puan Marina ,etc.Tpi bila dah masuk Uitm , confirm haruuuus
xnk hengat sbb dorg garang..mat saleh2 ni mmg strict!yup ,even hanya studied di
local U, hencik2 lecturer kita himpot(import) dri lua.. sbb xnk slh utter and
bunyik2 phonetics,siap ‘qalqalah n
makhraj’ n harakat’ tau utk setiap words..xleh bedal je sebut.kna belajar tiap pokok2
syllables, haihh..teruk tau nk blajo sebutan2 in English..
But , itula..bila
kita plak kena ngajar ,xde de nak stress on the phonetics n phonologies .yg penting
korg tahu meaning dn penggunaan..grammar tu kendian2 la..jgn jadi mcm
saya,trlalu utamakn grammar , kdg2 nk
buka mulut pun rs was2 sbb xyakin,segan takut2 slh ckp..pdhl ok je..haa..ni masa
dodolu la..skrg dah lajuu sbb da tiap2 hari ngadap international students dri Iran , Nigeria ,
Korea , Philipines , Somalia ..haaa…tpi
bila writing , I hve to admit kdg2 trlps pndang sbb rsnye yg pntg korg phm.. Tpi
bila my frens yg graduated dri oversea bca , sure dorg guling2 gelak.. haaah..xkisahlah..bukan
tolak gaji pong..but stil la kena hati2 sb xnk tarnish my own credibility n
integrity as an English lecturer..;P
So , to my friends
out there , sesungguhnya tidak ade cara yg paling mudah dn singkat nk blajo English
ni.. nk cpt boleh..tpi brain kita susah nk absorb bebenda yg kita pn jrg nk
implement in our daily life ye dak?mcm saya ,hey ni mcm nasi ngn lauk , tauJ
NI ha,sy bg sikit
cecare nk blajo simple English.cb la browse sat..:0
my students yg bakal graduate soon.. insyaallah..
1- Always Study
Phrases, Not Individual Words
Never study a single, individual
word. Native speakers do not learn English by remembering single words. Native
speakers learn phrases. Learning with phrases is faster than studying
individual words.-
haa..betul ni..nk blajo words seketul2 , mmg xdan la mek oii…tebal kot
dictionary tu nk hafal semua..biase kn dri dgn guna short phrases.then baru
buka dictionary cri meaning if xphm.. sekali buka , boleh blajo 3-4
words..cptlaaa kamu ‘khatam’ dictionary nnt..haahaa…
2 - Do Not Study
Grammar Rules
to speak naturally -- without thinking ,put away your grammar books and
textbooks. Grammar rules teach you to think about English ,not to think how to speak.paham dok?ckp je pe yg tau , xpayahla kamu pikir2 grammar kang xtrkeluar lgsung ms nk ckp tu..sbb xyakin.sy prnh jdi mcm ni dulu.but now, da ok.tp, hmm..betul gak..belasah je
la..broken English pn okje..asalkn org fhm..but ini utk beginner je ek..bila da
nak masuk level elementary and pre-intermediate, agak2la..jgn malukn dri sendri
or..cikgu english kamu nnti..hurmm..xkn la sampai nk ckp “Have u eaten” jadi “Have
u eat??”…sigh…slh tu.. Present Perfect Tense dah lari tu…J
3 - Listen First
Learn with your ears, not your
eyes. You must listen to UNDERSTANDABLE English.Listen to English EVERY DAY..
This is the key to your English success. Listen to English songs ever day! Korgkn byk idola2
dri obersi gitu.so masa karok sengsorang dlm toilet , sila2 kn la amik lagu
englsih..byk ni haa…Hamek la Adelle ker , JasonMrazzz ker, haihh..mlmbk..nyanyi2
gak..meaning jgn lupe..jgn men sebut tpi meaning xtaw..biashe dier!:)
4- Slow, Deep
Learning Is Best
The secret to speaking English
is to learn every word & phrase DEEPLY.It's not enough to know a
definition. It's not enough to remember for a test. You must put the word deep
into your brain.Implement it ker..sajo2..ingt sampai bila2..dictionary kena ade ms mbaca.BTw , saya ni ulat buku..tpi masa kekecik
dulu rajin beli Galaxies Magazines sampai ke tua ni ha..hikhik..dolu bc
magazine , dictionary BM-BI pasti ada kat sebelah utk find words definitions..but
bila dah kertu , tu ha..Longman English Dictionary B.I – B.I kita pakai..tpi
dah jarang sbb vocabularies da sempit kt otak nihJjadi dictionary bergerak ler saya ni...
5 - Use Point-of-View
Mini Stories
You must learn grammar by
listening to real English. The best way is to listen to stories... told in
different times (points of view): Past, Present, Future. you will improve your
grammar naturally! Ha,sila rajinkn diri
baca English Novels..xmo la bm novel je..bm novel da brlmbk jadi drama bersiri
kt tv tu..do purchase 1 or 2 english novels..bru leh bc n belaja daily speaking
dlm dialogue kt novel tu..sambil2 tu tgk gak la penggunaan verbs , simple ,
past, future.. cth verb ;( SEE) I SEE u
, I SAW u yesterday , I will see u tmrw..:)
6 - Only Use Real
English Conversations & Materials
If you want to understand native
speakers, listen to real native speakers speaking real English.Wot2!tpi yg ni , by chance la.. try
to speak with native speakers .dorg akan betulkn mn yg slh..tpi dorg pn grammar
kdg2 xbetul gak..cthnye , saya ni pandai ckp bm , tpi tatabahasa ,ke laut…!lsm gak kot cam dorg..tpi lagi better than me la..sbb mngajar english ni mmg bidang dorg..lgpn my colleagues
pn org Aussie (Australian) n Scottish.( Scotland)..tpi yg Nigerian ni jgn blajo
sgt sbb ‘iqlab’mmg tebal giler.a bank jadi ‘ a bong’ .rosak English!
7 - Use Listen And
Answer Stories
Listen and repeat..dgr English educational cd ,
dgr n jwb soalan kt dlm cd tu..nak answer tu , kalo tau jwb ler..if x ,
senyum n diam sudaa..But my advice here , better u guys buy CD’s yg boleh bantu
u speak real English ..cth yg saya boleh suggest n mmg saya guna dlm listening
class saya , saya guna New
Headway Series Books yg ade attached CD inside it..mmg worth it beli..CD tu ade
la matsaleh2(native speakers) yg akan tnye questions , yg penting the way they utter
and pronounce the words which u guys can follow and imitate with confident.. xpela
if org ingt u ckp sensorg dpn laptop, yg penting , ade gak la ‘cikgu’ English yg
nk tlg sebutkn phrases dgn betul.. Beli la buku2 ni ..xrugi..ade CDs inside
it..beli ikut level from Beginner , Pre Elementary ,Elementary ,Pre Intermediate
, Intermediate.. Xyahla beli yg Advanced level.. unless nk buat preps utk IELTS
,dipersilakan..:)
8. Lastly!!Do visit our language centre!
Ha..ni nk tlg promote our language centre yg bakal dibuka..which all the english modules , saya yg buat dan designed ..if nasib baik , boleh la jumpa or saya yg ngajo kt Pusat Bahasa tu..
