Museum of Knowledge guide: How can I learn to speak English more quickly?

The Museum of Knowledge team of language tutors is often asked what the best techniques are to learn a language more quickly. For language learners seeking to speak English fluently, there are many ways in which business professional and travellers can learn a language at speed.

Unlike many textbook answers, the Museum of Knowledge suggests employing a number of tactics. Most language learner providers may suggest immersion in the country where the language in this case English is spoken. However what is key to remember is grammar, syntax, understanding how to structure sentences. These techniques are often taught in the classroom with traditional language learning institutions. Understanding the basics and the context within which sentences are constructed is key. To simply travel to an English speaking country and socialize with natives is not the only answer. Full comprehension is key.

The Museum of Knowledge employs traditional language learning techniques with a focus on grammar and syntax. Whilst doing this, the Museum of Knowledge also promotions its “Let’s Get Social” section so that the language can be dissected in several ways and is highly accessible. Speed is key to learning English and language learners always want to see how quickly they can progress. The most important asset any language learner can have is time and in essence, dedication. Without these two primary assets learning a language quickly can be greatly hampered.

Learn a language without translating into your native language

The Museum of Knowledge team often meets students who first think in their native language before writing or speaking in the language they are learning. This is clearly a terrible habit that the Museum Of Knowledge team always aims to eradicate. The question then remains, how long do students typically take before they stop thinking in their native language before communicating in the language they are learning? The fair answer is this habit goes back to language learning and methodology.

When learning a new language the teacher has to be skilled enough to ensure that the students are confident enough to let go and embrace the language they are learning fully. The best way to ensure that this happens is to begin the learning process whereby the student does not ever speak or think in their native language. The Museum of Knowledge immersion techniques ensure that this is adhered to and students always think in the language they are learning.

Museum of Knowledge guidelines: learn a language with native speakers

The Museum of Knowledge team is often asked “Is it better to learn a language with native speakers?” We would respond by saying it all depends on how a native speaker is defined. A native speaker may speak the language but to what extent does he or she speak or write with correct grammar and syntax? It is often those who have learnt the essence of grammar who excel at teaching languages.

To be a native speaker and to communicate with colloquial undertones will not help in the forum of language learning. Any native speaker chosen to assist in the spectrum of teaching languages should preferably be educated in the field of teaching and certainly should have qualified at graduate level in the language they seek to teach others. This will help give the learner a dynamic overview of the language and an enriched cultural experience together with assisting in understanding the working knowledge of the language. A native speaker who is qualified in linguistics, modern languages and/or cultural studies is best equipped to relate to the needs of those learning a language for the first time or those who seek to improve their language skills.

For a learner who wishes to learn a language for business, it then becomes even more essential that the teacher enjoys has an excellent grasp of grammar and syntax as well as robust knowledge of the subject area.

The Museum of Knowledge uses a combination of business speakers who have all graduated from University in both a business related study course as well as Modern languages. The flexible courses delivered by the Museum of Knowledge team define the essence of language learning for business (advanced language learning) and pleasure (intermediate language learning).
