How to Boost Your English Basic Skill


Well, talking about English will never get to the end. Everybody has the different opinion about it. Some people say that it is very difficult to be learnt, even the difficulties may vary. Generally, they could be on the grammar or speaking. But, some people say that it is very easy and fun to be learnt. They also state neither grammar nor speaking is difficult. Actually, I do agree with the last one. Learning English is totally interesting, fun, and exciting and there’re so many tricks to make it easier to be learnt. Here are some simple and easy tricks that you can try to boost up your English skills :
  1. Start with Interest
Are you ever interested with someone ? what will be your first action ? Of course you’ll try to find the information about him/her as much as you can, right ? The way you choose could vary. You can ask her/his bestfriends, add her/him as your friends in social networking, or directly go to her/him to make friends. This trick could also be applied to boost your English skills. Just starting to like English first, then believe me, you’ll indirectly stimulate yourself to get to know about English more than ever. For instance, you listen to the English songs and have interest to understand its complete meaning. Whatever the way you choose to understand about it (asking your friends, reading dictionary, or even translating via google translate :P) those are really reflecting that you begin to like English. This is the very good starting point to learn English. 
  1. Set up your Purpose
Your purpose is one of critical point to measure your progress in learning English. Dig it in your mind, what do you want from learning English ? is that to increase your knowledge about vocabulary and English grammar, or perhaps to make you speak English fluently, or maybe just to make you understand when you read accounting textbook, or even for understanding the subtitle when you watch your favorite K-drama, or amazingly to all the point I mentioned above?
Why this is critical ? Instantly, I can say this will determine your next action to reach your own purpose. If your purpose is to ‘repair’ your grammar, attending the English course will be your main choice to begin with, and etc. One thing to be considered, if you do have the ‘mature plan’ to learn English, You can divide it onto short tem and long term action to reach your goal. For example, you wanna be the famous spokesperson in the next 3 years. Your short term action could be 1) attending English course to ‘repair’ your grammar 2) practice it to people who fluently speaks English 3) compete  in English speech or debate contest, and your long term action could be 1) collect achievements in English contest 2) contact the company that need spokesperson and etc.

Sumatera Barat... Here I come ! Part II

Nah, sekarang gue mau share pengalaman jalan-jalan selama di Sumbar. Gue punya temen yg kuliah di Padang, Adil namanya. Dan kabar baiknya, dia menyanggupi buat nemenin gue untuk jalan-jalan. so, the 1st weekend langsung deh kita cuss ke Bukittinggi. Sialnya, kita lupa kalo hari itu deket sama awal bulan ramadhan, so antrian buat pesen tiket ternyata udah mengular aja. yaudah deh kita pasrah, kalo masih dapet, berangkat, kalo nggak dapet ya batal deh tripnya. Thanks God, setelah nunggu selama 4 jam, akhirnya dapet juga. Sampelah kita di Bukittinggi, kita terus shalat dan pergi ke lapangan deket menara jam gadang. Mulailah katro gue keluar, disitu langsung aja gue cuek photo-photo, malah  nyetop anak-anak yang lewat buat minta difotoin. Here is, one of the shot :) Next, Adil ngajakin gue ke kampung Ayahnya di Kab. Agam. Nah disini kita harus mendaki dulu karena emang beneran di atas bukit gitu rumahnya. Setelah bersusah payah mendaki, sampelah kita di rumah famili si Ad

Internship alias Magang

Kuliah kelar, wisuda udah, what's next? Menimbang dari pengalaman tahun lalau sih, penempatan masih jadi agenda tahun depan kayanya. Pulang kampung menikmati "idle period" yang belum jelas sampe kapan itu? Hell no ! Orang Sumatera asli malah aib kalo anak laki-laki diem di rumah. Apalagi sebelumnya kan gue udah merantau, 3 tahun lagi. Bagi orang Sumatera tulen, pulang kampung hanyalah agenda saat Idul Fithri (Bagi Orang Aceh, Idul 'Adha lebih diutamakan). Selebihnya ya kalo ada acara yang teramat penting, seperti resepsi pernikahan, kelahiran, dan anggota keluarga yang meninggal dunia. Setelah pemikiran panjang (ciye, sok mikir!), gue akhirnya memutuskan buat magang aja. But please underline ! Gue magang buat cari pengalaman dan melengkapi portfolio. Gaji ga harus besar yang penting gue ga jadi Job Slave. titik ! Gue magang bukan buat ngumpulin pitih kaya sebagian besar orang. Karena parno sama schedule dan jobdesknya Private Company, mulailah gue bergerilya mencari i

Sumatera Barat, Here I come ! Part III

Nah, si Adil rupanya ikut SBMPTN karena kurang puas sama pilihannya yg dulu. Bingung kan gue, mau ngajakin siapa? Tetiba, temen gue dari STAN yg lain, Rusydi, sms gue, wah kesempatan nih. Akhirnya setelah gue komporin, dia mau nemenin gue jalan. Kabar buruknya, kita jalan pas puasa dan cuaca di Padang subhanallah panasnya, hohoho. Tapi, mengingat dan menimbang kalo gue ga tau kapan balik lagi ke Padang, dengan semangat 45 gue ama Rusydi tetep nekat jalan juga. Petualangan dimulai di kampus Universitas Andalas. Lumayan bagus kampusnya, naik bukit gitu, masih banyak pohon, dan gedungnya,,, ulala mirip kaya konservasi makhluk luar angkasa gitu (biasa disebut kampus zorgon, hehehe), mana ga dicat lagi, jadi masih semen kasar gitu doang. Tapi gue akui malah jadi signature style sih, ga pernah gue lihat ada kampus yang desain dan arsitekturnya gitu, :3. Setelah berkeliling kampus, perjalanan dilanjutkan ke Museum Adityawarman. Wah, kalo gue bilang ini termasuk museum yang catchy. Wh
