Preparing for a private lesson, what are your plans?

Question

English learning tools

Hello friends,
It's time to cross the line of an ignoramus and finally speak English. I plan to take individual courses, if you have experience from beginner to intermediate, please describe the case, how you prepared, how you memorized words, your methodology, etc.

Answer 1

The question has been asked a thousand times and answered a thousand times. Well then.
The first thing we read.
What is the best way to learn English?
And now from me and how not to do it.
1. Applications will not allow you to learn the language.
2. Spending 15 minutes daily on the tongue is a waste of time. 2-3 hours at least a day, otherwise there is no result.
3. You need to develop skills in a complex way. Yes, you can learn to read, but as the story goes. Reading and writing is not necessary for knowing the language, these are just side effects. But now this is also needed, so learn to read, write, speak, listen in parallel.
4. Learn to understand that the word red is red, not red.
5. Only individual lessons. Go to mass classes only for self-affirmation. Why not go to courses where there are 30 people in the class? Remember the school and how much time the teacher devoted to you. Plus, there will be such a different level there that you will either hide in a corner or quit because it's easy.
6. Spare no money. If you like the book, buy it. I liked the tutor, go to a cafe with him. At the same time, you will spend the lesson in an unusual place :)
7. When you chat, write correctly. At first it will be cool that you kind of join their party, but then you will realize that such people are illiterate.
8. Textbooks are either completely in English, for example, blue Murphy, or such an English grammar for beginners by V.A. Milovidov. Or half Russian, if it's hard, but no transcription in Russian.
9. Have fun.
10. Well, not the most important thing, but important. When choosing materials, focus on your capabilities. If you understand the text by about 60%, then go ahead.
11. If you read books, preferably adapted at first, then preferably with an audiobook in addition.
