Before diving into writing activities, it's best to spend some time arranging all the things needed. This planning will be very helpful when writing practice later. Prepare a schedule, choose a place, materials, dictionaries, books, pens & other writing tools according to your needs. Setting a schedule in advance gives a glimpse of what to do. This schedule certainly contains the time (days and hours) as well as clear & detailed writing learning activities. Designate a special place where you feel comfortable and motivated to keep moving the pen. You can also put a photo of your favourite author, their work or whatever makes you excited about your goal: writing proficient in English.

         For beginners, it is not a strategic way to learn if you just practice without knowing what to write. This is less effective because you don't have enough knowledge or knowledge. What is knowledge? Spelling, vocabulary and how to make simple sentences. Without these three things, you can still practice but not write what's in your head right away.

         Then, what is the most effective way? What must be done to get started? An effective way to learn English writing for beginners is to write what is heard. Choose a simple song, audio or video. If it's hard to find a song that suits you, practice listening to children's songs. Never be shy to start from the lowest level. All professionals in the world, yep everyone, they start at the lowest level. A quote from Nick Vujicic: We all start with zero. We all start at the beginning. Don't give up.

         Learning to write English can be started by making simple sentences. Focus on the 3 to 5 tenses first. Don't be ambitious to master all the tenses in an instant. After you finish checking your writing by looking at the lyrics or subtitles, don't leave it at that. You can use it to learn about English sentences. With this step, indirectly also learn about tenses. If you are serious about doing the method in the first point, you will definitely remember the words in the song or video you listen to. Even then, if you listen to it over and over again. Anything that is done repeatedly will make you remember more than just doing it once. That's the formula, friends. So use your writing (the result of the first point) to learn more about simple sentences, get acquainted with To Be, verbs, or another vocabulary. Well, then you can review again about tenses. Postpone the ambition to memorize the 16 tenses first. Choose only 3 to 5 tenses as a first step. Learn and get to know more deeply as provisions for further writing practice.

         Next, after learning tenses and knowing how to make simple sentences, it's time to practice. Write continuously until the activity becomes a necessity. Like eating. We can't live without food. We also shouldn't be able to endure without writing in a day. Write anything. To make it even more fun, you can write dairy in English. Start with 1 sentence per day, then work your way up to 2 sentences, and so on. Find a new word, understand its meaning then make it in simple sentences.
