Leandro  +  304633 Sat, 16 Dec 06 10:35 PM Hello everybody.   I don't know if this is the right place for a topic like this, but I don't find a better.   The north-american Krashen in his book Principles and practice in second language aquisition says that the better way to learn a new language is live in a cowntry that speak it (the procces is similar when we learn our first language). But, the most part of us can't travel and live in other cowntry. So, how is the better way to simulate a "english comunity", at least for some hours, in your house, alone, or with yout friends? Do you have any tip for it?   I think that some valids ways are: 1. Watch movies with the subtitle in english (for the begginers, mostly the infantile movies). 2. Create sentences that we used to say in english and memorize them. 3. Listen to news and other programs in english.   What else? Leandro Joined on Fri, Dec 15 2006 Brasil New Member 12

	Zerox  +  304646 Sat, 16 Dec 06 11:51 PM Movies are a good way to get one acquainted with the pronounciation, and other usages which involve listening. However, in my opinion, reading is one of the best way to learn English. Not only does one's vocabulary increase tremendously, but also an overall understaning of English will improve.
