How to Quickly Learn English with 3 Easy Steps

An easy way to learn English - Maybe you are looking for a lot on how to quickly learn English and how to speak, write, and memorize all the rules of grammar in English. Learn English much make students frustrated, because they do not know how the right method. As a result, the learning they do of course in vain and do not produce results significantly.
In a quick way to learn English, there are actually only three easy steps that you can apply and produce good results. The steps we will describe briefly below.
Ø  Focus on not only the input and output
Most students and teachers of English provides an understanding that the key lies in the mastery of the language written and spoken. Indeed, it is not wrong because a lot of people who directly practice speaking boldly, he will get used and then gain the ability to speak English well.
But for faster, one should also hone the ability to hear. The ability to listen is one of the keys to success in learning English. For that you have to spend countless hours to listen to English songs, English subtitles, and of course the English-language film.
By listening to a variety of words in the English language for a long time, the ability to listen can be increased considerably. Surprisingly, you will also improve by leaps and bounds in the context of speaking. The situation has been proven and then, you should be the next person to prove this.
Ø  Grammar is important, but do not be too charged
Grammar is important for you as a student. Why is that? Because the status of English in Indonesia is a foreign language, not the native language, or a second language. Thus, the grammar is a must to learn.
However, do not think of grammar as a load that requires you to adjust it as perfect as possible. In terms of writing, grammar is important of course, but in speaking English, we can provide a bit of tolerance with grammatical mistakes or grammar. However, the intent of the words we utter should be kept clear.
Grammar is important, but not to beat our courage to express in English.
Ø  Repeat and then go slow
The key in a quick way to learn English is to slow down and keep repeating. At school, students read the text too fast then the teacher provides materials with an attitude as if overtaken by time. As a result of understanding is often not optimal. Students will only get short-term memory and the teacher is difficult to succeed in teaching.
A study shows that repetition is performed continuously and in a slower tempo will result in better learning achievements. Students must obtain materials with repeatability up to a dozen times. With the repetition, then formed a long-term memory. Then, the students were able to learn English better, and certainly effective.

That's 3 major steps in a quick way to learn English. Good luck and may you succeed

News : "Man opens fire on Americans in Kabul; 9 dead"

Eight U.S. service members and an American civilian contractor were killed Wednesday in a shooting at an Afghan air force compound in Kabul, officials said.

The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan said an Afghan military pilot opened fire on international troops, sparking a "gunfight." The Taliban, however, claimed responsibility for the attack and said it had been working with the shooter for some time -- an assertion that NATO denied.

The shooting started at the Afghan national air force compound at North Kabul International Airport after an argument between an Afghan pilot and an international colleague, officials said. The NATO-led force said an Afghan military pilot opened fire on international trainers and a "gunfight" ensued.

"A 50-year-old man opened fire at armed U.S. military soldiers inside the airport after an argument between them turned serious," said Col. Baha Dur, chief of public relations for the Afghan National Army at Kabul military airport.

NATO said the confrontation took place at 10:25 a.m. at the airport, where a quick reaction force responded to a "small arms fire incident." The airport is home to NATO Air Training Command Afghanistan.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned the killings "by an Afghan military pilot."

Zaher Azimi, a spokesman for the Afghan Defense Ministry, said the killings upset Defense Minister Abdul Rahim Wardak and that "he shares the pain with the families of the victims."

Despite the account by international troops, a Taliban spokesman said a man named Azizullah was responsible.

"One suicide attacker ... managed to attack an Afghan military unit and has managed to kill many Afghan and international soldiers," Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said.

The Taliban said the man killed nine foreigners and five Afghans before being killed by the Afghan army.

"We had worked hard on this plan for a long time," Mujahid told CNN. "He was cooperating with us since long time and he was providing us information about military air operations for a long time."

NATO disputed the Taliban claim.

"We do not know why it started but there is no indication that a suicide bomber was involved and there are no reports that someone managed to get into the base to do this," the NATO-led force said in a statement.

The Taliban has claimed responsibility for previous conflicts between NATO service members and members of the Afghan military. CNN could not independently verify the group's claims.

The Taliban said the man was once a pilot in an Afghan regime in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

"Since the current Afghan air forces have no planes so, he was just going to Kabul airport to show up and earn his salary for a long time," Mujahid told CNN.

The man "was holding the rank of colonel at the time and he had an AK-47 with him. After his bullets were finished, then he was shot to death by armed forces," Mujahid told CNN.

There was confusion about the death toll. The NATO-led force initially said six service members were killed. It raised that toll to nine but backed away temporarily before saying again that the shooting killed nine people -- eight international service members and a civilian contractor. The Pentagon confirmed that all were Americans.

Violence between Afghan forces and NATO troops is a matter of extreme concern for NATO officials, and it is growing in frequency.

There have been 36 NATO deaths in the past two years attributed to attacks by people perceived to be Afghan soldiers or police. Officials fear that the increasing frequency of the attacks could undermine trust between NATO troops and the Afghans they are working hard to prepare so they can eventually take over security in the country.

The Taliban's claim that the Afghan gunman was their recruit follows a now familiar pattern of the insurgency stating that attacks are theirs, even though NATO later suggests the gunman was acting out of personal motivation.

Out of 16 incidents of Afghan forces shooting NATO personnel that NATO has investigated, eight have been determined to be motivated by combat stress on the part of the Afghan attacker. The other eight investigations are undetermined.
