How to Learn English faster while becoming a great English conversationalist.

Learning English faster and Neuroplasticity.

The word Neuro refers to the Brain and Nervous System.

The word Plasticity refers to adaptability.

Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to change according to experience to serve the person better.

Neuroplasticity occurs during a person’s entire life, not only during childhood. In other words, we can learn during our entire life if the conditions are right for learning to occur.

What conditions are required for learning faster ?

A Neural Synapse is the space between the neurons.

New neural pathways are formed when a neural synapse fires, connecting neurons and a new activity is learned.

This connecting of the neurons is called synaptic pruning and it occurs more frequently during periods of sustained focus.

Therefore, one of the main ingredients for Neuroplasticity and synaptic pruning or learning is sustained focus.

This is another way of saying that learning occurs during sustained focus like speaking English with a partner. During English Conversation practice, you are focusing on listening to what your partner is saying and simultaneously focusing on what you will say in response.  Neuroplasticity, synaptic pruning and learning is occurring at a very high rate. You are learning English fast during conversation practice because you are focusing on listening and speaking at the same time.

Compare English Conversation practice to speaking or listening by itself where there is only one activity occurring and the level of focus is not as intense.

Compare English conversation practice  to reading or writing and again the level of focus is also not as intense.  Learning is not occurring as fast in single activities as in simultaneous activities such as Conversation practice.

Learning English faster and Excitement.

Excitement releases the pleasure hormones dopamine and endorphin.

When we are excited and focused on learning at the same time, it is the fastest way to learn and it is remembered longer.

So the question becomes how to study English with excitement.

Learning English faster and Group Conversation

Which would be more exciting, studying English by yourself or studying English with an English partner ?

When you learn by yourself, you can only work on one skill at a time and most likely it will be a receptive skill such as reading or listening.

When you learn with a partner, you can work on two or more skills at the same time such as a receptive and productive skill and the brain will be more stimulated and more focused.

Adding this stimulation, focus and excitement together results in more dopamine and endorphin and more learning.

Learn in a positive group conversation setting which releases the pleasure hormones dopamine and endorphin.

How to Learn English without quitting
