PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

Many people think that mastering GRAMMAR will guarantee them to be able to communicate in English well. Students and teachers at INDEPENDENT English Course Bogor do not think so. We believe that the most important in learning and mastering English is PRACTICE.


PRACTICE means: using English consistently without fear. Fear of what? Fear of making mistakes... grammatical mistakes.
PRACTICE means: speaking, writing, listening and reading continuously. 


Does it mean that GRAMMAR is not important? The answer is: GRAMMAR is also important, but not the most important.


When you speak BAHASA INDONESIA, do you also think about Kalimat Majemuk? Kalimat majemuk setara? Kalimat majemuk rapatan? Kalimat sederhana? Kata dasar? Kata benda? We believe the answer is NO.


So, why do you feel that you have to be afraid of making mistakes when speaking English? DON'T BE AFRAID OF MAKING MISTAKES...


Mastering English for communications does not mean mastering all words and phrases in English. 
Do you need a comparison?
How many Indonesian words do you master?
Do you understand the meaning of these Indonesian words: antan? petahana? sangkil? mangkus? sahih?
They are Indonesian words, but most of us do not understand them.
Let alone English words.... 
However, it does not mean that we can't communicate in Indonesian, does it? We still can communicate in bahasa Indonesia although we do not master Indonesian words and vocabularies...


So, practising English and mastering this language do not require you to be able to understand all words, phrases, vocabularies, grammar, structures etc. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL YOU KNOW THOSE WORDS...

Practise now and make yourself PERFECT...
