We know that we all learnt our own language well when we were children, if we learn a second language in the same way, it won’t seem so difficult. How does a small child do? It listens to what people say, and it tries to guess what it hears. When it wants something, it has to ask for it. It’s using the language, thinking in it and talking in it all the time. If people use a second language all the time, they will learn it quickly. In school, you learn to read, to write, to hear and to speak. It is the best way to learn all new words through the ear. You can read them, spell them, and write them later. 1. When we were very young .

He wonders: Can I communicate with Americans? Can they understand me? Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English? How important are these differences? Certainly, there are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in Grammar. For example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and "Have you a pen?” , Americans say “in the hospital” and ‘Do you have a pen?’. Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound theirs in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Speakers of British English do not sound theirs in these words. There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour” and “honour” are British, “color” and “honor” are American.
