Dear Friend,
My name is Pheakdey from Cambodia. Here I am the latest member who want to improve my English as well, but I do not know how to increase. But I firmly hope that if we tried to study hard, so we would know English more as what we wanted. Otherwise, there are many ways that we might improve our language by doing:
1- Practise reading English everyday if we have any free time.
2- Listen to English everyday by listening to the radio....
3- Read English stories.
4- Go to visit anywhere that is spoken English, start making up dialogue with them.
And especially, if you wanted to know how to speak English well, you would be the instructor to your neighbours who have never studied English a bit before. And you would find how to speak Englis to your students to make them understand. Sooner you will be improvable more and more out of your expection.
Yours faithfully
Pheakdey

I'm an EFL teacher at elementary and intermediate levels. However, English isn't my first language and sometimes I run into problems I need to talk about with an English native speaker and preferably an English teacher. I'd like to make friends with native speakers, especially Americans, and keep in touch with them via email, messenger, and so on. I’m looking for good friends and language guides at the same time. Please send me an email if you’re interested.
Many thanks in advance…
Mori

Well, in the past few months I do use an English grammar and proofreading software, although it cannot always catch very complex grammar structures, it helps me on fixing basic and common grammar errors. Can anyone recommend of advanced grammar analyzing tool for complex grammar writing assignments?

denvinbo · Post by **denvinbo** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 5:41 am

1/ Speaking out all the things you're thinking in mind:
_When using English, don't care about the mistakes. If u don't have mistake, it's mean that u won't learn anything. May be u will make small mistakes in English with foreigners. But the major is what can u summarize from ur mistakes. Like as the babies can't walk if they're afraid of falling......

2/ Defining which way of learning English is suitable for u:
_Recent examination makes known that many people have their own way of learning English. If u r a pictures liker, u can make a link between English and pictures such as u can watch movies with English subtitle, try to imagine where u r in English's context, imagine the words u should learn with pictures. If u r a listening liker, u should listen to English music as much as u can and watch English movies. If u like to analysing, let spend most of ur time to learn grammars and compare ur language with English.
_Of course, a good English learn will spend all his time to do all these things. But what a pity, many people is only taught by traditional way is concentrating on grammars and listening.

3/ Studying to remember:
_U can test ur memory by reading books. Most of good English learners appreciate this thing.

4/ Making ur own English environment:
_A Spanish successful businessman studied English by gluing yellow papers around his house, when he went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee, take a bath or use the remote to change the TV channels, he always saw the words in those papers. When he remembered all those words, he changed new ones. By this way of study, he remembered 10 words per day, 7 days per week. U should read, listen and speak English anywhere and anytime.

5/ Let's access the Internet:
_internet has brought many benefits for English learner. U can find many useful websites to study grammars, vocabulary, pronounciation and now, the most important: communication.

6/ Learning vocabulary by system:
_Please notice that learning English is not only studying grammars. When communicating, u choose vocabulary, combine them and make a sentence to share ur thinking. When learning vocabulary, u should arrange them sensiblely. Don't list a long page of words, let separate them to their own section. For example:
- Theme: Shopping, Holidays, Money...etc...
- Verbs and Nouns together: do your homework, make a care...etc...
- Verbs with prepositions: to grow up, to fell off, to look after...etc...
- Fixed words: on the other hand, in my opinion, by the way...etc...
- Idioms: once in a blue moon, to be over the moon, out of the blue...etc...
- Words with prepositions: at night, at the weekend, in March, in 2008...etc...

7/ U should be excited:
_U should warm up and do all the things u can do today, don't gather for tomorrow.

Good luck!

Well, the first problem with u is listening......As what I have said......Listening is not only you listen to it....there're many ways for u.....Watching movies is one of the way to listen.....but it's the practical way....not the training way.....
I think this topic may help you something.....Listening

The second problem with you is Speaking.......You can't find anyone to speak with u....because the reason is mentioned above.....so, try to speak with yourself.....This

The third problem is You try to studying grammars to speak better.......In fact, grammars is rarely used in speaking.....so just speak as what you want.........

Good luck!
