Hi jscaz,nice to see you on mylot!personally I don't think there is direct way to improve oral english rapidly.So maybe we should think why we need good oral english. For WHAT??? For me, english can give me lot of fun in my life. I can know the outside world directly and I can enjoy the real culture of other countries,I can chat with guys all over the world. So,Please insist on reading and speaking everywhere as much as possible. I read "21 century" newspaper everyweek to know what happend in our country. I browse YAHOO to read authentic english article. I participate in E-GARDEN ENGLISH CORNER TO CHAT WITH MY FRIENDS IN english everyweek. All these help my english ability. So don't expect to improve in short time. Just practice and practice to enjoy pleasure the english give you. By the way,"mylot" is really great place to improve your english,Please enjoy the sweet feeling these friends bring you. Thank you!

Hi jscaz, The most important thing in learning a foreign languages is but using that language. Language need a lot of practices before someone could master it. And we should throw away the shy feeling in learning a language. It is normal when we said something not in a proper place if we still learning it. It is part of the learning process. Since you want to learn your speech aspect, you have to speak a lot in English. Use it in your daily life. You can learn faster that way. I suggest you to learn from the well English speaker. If you are too shy to learn form the stranger, try to learn it from your friends and family members. Ask them corrected you on the spot if you use a wrong term or word, so you could learn from it. Good luck.

Your English is good, but I see that you make some grammatical mistakes here and there. The best way for you to improve spoken English, is to use it as much as you can.Even if this means making mistakes, don't feel shy.That is the only way you can improve. Read a lot of editorial articles in newspapers and magazines or on the net, as the language there is of high quality. If you do not get enough practice talking in English, then you can practice by looking in the mirror. Trust me, it helps. I am trying to learn French this way and it helps me quite a bit. myLot will help you too, as a large number of people in the myLot community are good at English. Cheers and Happy myLotting!
