An American in England
 
An American visiting in England asked at the hotel for the elevator.
The portiere looked a bit confused but smiled when he realized what the man wanted.
“You must mean the lift,” he said.
“No,” the American responded. “If I ask for the elevator I mean the elevator.”
“Well,” the portiere answered, “over here we call them lifts”.
“Now you listen”, the American said rather irritated, “someone in America invented the elevator.”
“Oh, right you are sir,” the portiere said in a polite tone, “but someone here in England invented the language.”

2. Study everyday and continously

Learning a foreign language is not easy, but people can learn at least a second language "if" they are willing to put the necessary effort in it. A language course is much more different from any other course which you took or will take.  Therefore, study everyday because the more time you spend with the foreign language, the faster you will learn. Be aware that you don´t have the luxury to study only at course hours.

3. Divide your study time

Many linguistic specialist express and academic research shows that foreign language students learn more effectively and retain more when they study frequently and for short time periods. 
Study several times a day (each day), this means divide your excercises and learn each day a few of them instead of studying them all at once. 



4. Learn vocabulary

" THE MORE WORDS YOU KNOW, THE MORE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND AND SAY"
There are many ways to learn vocabulary but one of the best way is using flashcards. In addition to this, carry always a pocket dictionary (or use a cell phone dictionary software) with you so that you can look up each time in it for words you would like to know at any time.



5. Read and Listen to medias like music,films and tv channels

Listening and reading are keys of a language. Therefore, if you keep listening and reading you will get used to very quick. There are also researchs that show that listening and reading is more efficient than many hours of course time.
