Learning ESP

Learning ESP is not so different from learning general English. The main thing are the same, some confusion is only brought in by the usage of academic language and professional lingo.
It is quite often, that ESP contains a lot of international words, or words derived from latin and greek, so common knowledge of international terms are really a good helper. Of course all of the main tricks of learning English applies. These are sticking Post-It notes with words you want to learn, reading English material and trying to communicate in English as much as you can.
But these days one of the most popular answer, which students give when asked about how they learned English, is watching movies. The problem with ESP is that there are very few movies or TV shows that contais desireble material, and there is even less about psychology. However, after putting in some research, I came up with several movies and TV shows that frequently involves psychology in their plots, thus using ESP. Best known of them are „The Sopranos“, „One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest“, „The Butterfly Effect“ and similar movies. The best way to watch movies like this (with the ention of learning), you should use English subtitles, to also learn the spelling.
Other good idea is to make English days with your friends, when you agree to only talk in English for like once a week.
So remember – notes, books, movies, communication. Oh, and I almost forgot – practise makes it perfect.
