“English is a headache.”

I have heard many times of the complaint above about the unpleasant experiences of those people who have not made an admiring progress in English learning. I could not understand it most of the times when a person complained to me that he could not master the language. My point is that English is the language of the world, and there are so many others from different countries whose mother tongue is not English can speak the foreign language fluently, why can not you? Well, as English major, I can tell a couple of reasons. Students with another major do not spend the as much time as I do in learning English, and it is not because they don’t want to spent more time on the language, but they can’t, because they have so many other principles regarding their major that they need to spend time on; they are not granted a chance to learn English in an effective and systematic way, but we English majors have it all to help us improve our English level. Students with other majors just need a study method that will work well for them to learn English well.

English is important everywhere, especially in a developing country like China, which has come a long way in its economy since the adoption of the reform and opening up strategy, and Chinese status on the international stage is getting higher, and the conditions of the life of Chinese people are getting better. As China opens itself more and more to the exterior world, the language of English gets more and more importance in its interior world, because China has been reinforcing its cooperation and partnership with the other countries. Hence, the capability of speaking good English is needed in a job description, the certificate of English level four is required for a college student to get graduated, and even an ordinary worker at the construction site has to know some English to cater for the possibility that he will possibly run into a foreigner who is possibly going to ask him about a destination or something.  

It has been a tendency here in China to learn English well, and it will keep that way in a really long time, so it is not a good idea to act against the trend, instead, I will suggest that you should find an efficient way to conquer the language. It won’t hurt you if you can speak English smoothly and accurately, anyway. 

For an English learner, having the right study methods that fit you is very essential, so I usually recommend my friends who are tortured by the English problems to go to crazyenglish.com. I guess here in China everybody has heard of Crazy English and Liyang, the founder and present chairman of Crazy English. It is famous because it is really helpful to those English learners who are in urgent need of help.

I was at the office of Tianjin Crazy English once, not for taking classes, but for taking an interview for a job of teaching assistant, and thanks to that opportunity, I saw how Crazy English and Liyang helping its students. The very first thing that Crazy English did for its students was not to guide them through the procedures of learning, but to advice them to talk in front of the other students as loudly as they could, and it did not matter even if you wanted to yell to them. I was really shocked at that moment because I told to keep quiet at class since kindergarten, and I wondered how those students could possibly master the skills of English just by screaming to the others. 

At the night of the day, I logged onto the website of crazyenglish.com, and I finally understood the dramatic scene. The students were requested to talk in a loud voice because it would help them re-establish the confidence in themselves. You can tell so just by looking at the logo of Crazy English, which says I enjoy losing face. It makes a lot of sense to me, I mean, if you don’t care about what people will think about you any more, you will turn to be a grave and confident new person. So the first class you will take at Crazy English is that it will help you to wipe out your fear of losing face, and encourage you to stand out to be the new you.

After you have re-evaluated the value of yours, the next step is to really work on English. There are a lot of great teachers and materials that you can use at Crazy English, and they have created a series of study methods based on the old experiences of millions of English learners, so they are very effective. Besides, there is more information on the website about the English training classes, study textbooks, and learning methods that are more advanced. There are training classes available all the time at Crazy English, and the staff of crazy there will arrange classes for you according to your schedule, which is to say that you can come to the class whenever you feel free. And there are intensive training camps going on as well all over the four seasons, and it is good to join in a camp because it will not only help you improve your English level in a short time, but also give you a lot of fun. There is also a study community on the website of crazyenglish.com, where you can communicate in English with the other English learners and absorb the good experience from each other, and it will be a lot of fun to study in a group. There is a more direct learning method on the website if you get bored with your grammar book, and that is the NETiTV online videos. You just need to download and install the NETiTV in your computer, and you will be able to watch the Crazy English videos all day long on the Crazy English Channel, and I always believe that video teaching works better than studying on your own. 

Since English has become so important in your daily life, no matter it is because of your study or works, why not find yourself a more effective and clever way to get it done here at crazy English?
