Tips for teaching English

Question

I have been coming to this site for a while now to help me improve my Spanish and I have found it very helpful so I thought that someone might have some tips or ideas that could help me.

I recently told a friend that I would help him learn to read Eenglish.He can speak English well. Probably say that his English is intermediate. But he does not know how to read any English. Nor does he really know the pronunciation of the English alphabet. Does anyone have any advice that would help. Or tell me what worked for them when learning to read English.

Thank you so much for your help!!

Welcome to the forum, please don't forget that languages have a capital letter in English. - MaryMcc, Dec 6, 2011

Answer 1

If his understanding is good then he has a head start over most beginners. Does he have any particular interests? Maybe some magazines or books relating to that subject would help.

And of course the English learning lessons on here would help too.

Answer 2

The same old way! Get some books, a dictionary and probably a computer based English program. He can also try watching t.v and movies with English captions on. That always help!

Thanks for your quick response. Are there any books in particular that you know of that are good. I know there are so many out there and some are better than others. - Kcm19, Dec 6, 2011
