How not to forget English

English is one of the most spoken and demanded in the world. Therefore, his knowledge can be very useful, for example, if you want to get a prestigious, well-paid job. It may be needed for a tourist trip abroad, to those countries where they practically do not know the Russian language. Alas, not all Russian citizens speak English. And some have not had any language practice since graduating from high school or high school and therefore little by little they forget it.

Read any English texts you come across. Let it be even children's books for middle school students. When reading, many forgotten words and grammar rules will automatically pop up in your memory. Even better if it is some kind of daily newspaper in English.

Make it a rule: speak English aloud at least a few minutes a day. Imagine some ordinary situation, for example, as if you are trying to communicate with a local resident abroad by asking him something. He does not understand Russian, and your task is to get the necessary information from him. At first, you can do with the simplest words, without even observing the grammatical rules (that is, talking with them in broken English). Then gradually complicate the task, using the dictionary if necessary.

After a while, begin to resort to a difficult, but effective, reception. When reading some Russian text, try to mentally translate each phrase into English. Again, for starters, you can build it simplistically. Spend a little time on this, but daily. The result is not long in coming.

Try to read in the original works that are well known to you, which you have read many times in Russian, having learned almost by heart. For example, Conan Doyle's stories about detective Sherlock Holmes. Keep your Russian text handy. If you come across an incomprehensible word or passage, take a look at the translation. This method will not only quickly replenish your vocabulary, but will also help you remember the rules for constructing phrases in English again.

And, of course, listen to English at your earliest convenience. Since there is a big difference between the ability to read and the ability to perceive information by ear. Watch movies made in the UK or the USA, trying to understand what the characters are talking about. For starters, you can watch English-language videos - educational, musical, on everyday topics, etc.
