Before undertaking any task or project, it is best to lay out your plan of attack. If you are building something out of wood, a popular saying is "measure twice and cut once." Why?

This is a method that I've developed over years of experience teaching English as a second language, and also learning foreign languages myself. The first step for fluency is to plan your English learning. Don't simply follow the textbook plan, or even your teacher's plan. You need to figure out why you are learning English. You need to think about why you're learning, what you want to say, and with whom you want to talk. For example, if you want to learn English so that you can become a doctor, the vocabulary that you're going to study is going to be very different than if you want English to be able to have a conversation in a bar with regular people. If you want to learn legal English so that you can translate in a courtroom, the vocabulary that you're going to learn is going to be very different. So, the first step to fluency is to actually think about why you want to learn English and how you want to use it. So, answer those questions and you will be off to a great start.
