How to learn English effectively (skuteczne techniki nauki języka angielskiego)

Learning English should be pleasure and give us satisfaction. That is why everybody needs to find their own specific technique of effective learning a foreign language.
What helped me was the necessity for communication. When I was 21, I went to a voluntary international youth camp. It wa my first travel abroad. When I got off the train in Brussels, the first question I asked was about the direction. I remember the stress and my heart beat while preparing for the first conversation.
Then this question changed into the dialogue. After a month of staying in Belgium among students from all over the world, I understood that what was worth in my efforts was communication. This fascination of the foreign language has been lasting till now.
Please write about your experience on how to learn English successfully. Write both in Polish and English. Do not be afraid of mistakes. On this website your mistakes should become your friends. Your main goal should be improving English.
Good Luck.

Nauka języka angielskiego powinna być przyjemnością i dawać satysfakcję. Dlatego każdy powinien wypracować swoją własną technikę skutecznej nauki języka obcego.
Mnie pomogła potrzeba komunikacji. Kiedy miałam 21 lat , pojechałam na międzynarodowyżowy obóz dla woluntariuszy. To był mój pierwszy wyjazd za granicę. Kiedy wysiadłam z pociągu w Brukseli , pierwszym pytaniem które zadałam dotyczyło kierunku. Pamiętam dobrze stres i bicie własnego serca towarzyszące mi podczas przygotowań do tej pierwszej rozmowy. Po miesiącu pobytu w Belgii miedzy studentami z całego świata zrozumiałam , że tym co się naprawdę liczyło w czynionych przeze mnie wysiłkach była komunikacja. Ta fascynacja językiem obcym trwa do dzisiaj.
Mam prośbę, napiszcie o swoich doświadczeniach jak uczyć sie skutecznie języka angielskiego.
Piszcie po polsku lub o ile starczy wam motywacji po angielsku. Nie bójcie sie błedów. Na tej stronie beda one waszym sprzymierzeńcem. Waszym celem owinno być doskonalenie znajomości angielskiego. Powodzenia
