Is it too late to start learning English from scratch at thirty?

It's not too late to start learning English at the age of thirty, and there are many people who start to study English with vigor only after they become adults, such as Li Yang. Li Yang was admitted to Lanzhou University in 1986, two consecutive years of remedial English, two years later Li Yang finally had his first success, after four months of brutal self-discipline, Li Yang memorized more than a dozen original English books, off the top of his head, to achieve a qualitative leap in English. After that, he jumped to the second place in the whole school in the English University Grade 4 exam. In 1989, he started an English speaking class. Li Yang's Crazy English thus kicked off.

Li Yang is not an isolated case, but there is another middle-aged man, Prof. Zhong Daolong, who went from being "unintelligible" to being "translatable" in a year and a half. He calls his learning method "reverse English learning".

Unlike Li Yang's method of speaking and memorizing, Professor Zhong Daolong emphasizes the importance of listening. To learn Li Yang's English, you can basically start learning as soon as you know how to pronounce the words and phonetic symbols. Relying on a lot of memorization and input, you can get a certain amount of input in English, and then take it out of your mouth and turn it into your own, so that each of your inputs is turned into an output, which is in fact more suitable for the law of the majority of English learners. And Prof. Daolong Zhong's method of learning is more painful, because you have to rely on listening to get yourself to the next level of strength. And listening to a lot of content tends to make you mentally unfocused and tired. So I would recommend you Li Yang English learning method more.

First, you need to master the standard pronunciation system. You can study "Lai Shixiong American Phonetic Standard".

Secondly, after mastering the pronunciation system, it is still recommended that you have a certain foundation before you start to memorize a lot. So it is recommended to memorize "New Concept 1" first to improve your sense of language, and after studying "New Concept 1", the grammar system has begun to be established.

Thirdly, learn to memorize New Concept 2, which can perfect all your English grammar, so after memorizing this book, you will find all your English grammar solved.

Fourth, start memorizing a lot of original English works.

The whole process down the line, you can also in a year or even less content to get good English pronunciation, and out of the mouth.

So, age should never be a roadblock to your learning, but a catalyst to promote you to cherish your time and hurry up to learn, so I wish you good luck to start a new journey on the road of learning English!
