Hmmm do they have English classes you can take somewhere? Or maybe you can find an online English class? I know that you can buy books on foreign languages online so I would think that you can find one on English too.
If all else fails I'd be happy to help you out! You've obviously got a pretty good start on it since I understood what you said just fine! Would you like any help correcting what you said? Would that be helpful at all?
What is your native language? I adore foreign languages so much I majored in them in college! Unfortunately I didn't keep using what I learned and so I've pretty much forgotten everything but I do want to relearn them and more one day!

YES!!! There are some books of his that I think may help!!! There are several Chinese Reader books! They are actually meant to teach someone Chinese but they include Chinese words and characters with English translations so you could probably use them to learn more English! There's also some lovely books like Poems of the Masters translated by Red Pine which has poems with their English translations! Maybe I can arrange to send them to you somehow?

Hey there!
Well, I'm not from a country where people speak english as well; I'm from Brasil (more exactly, in Rio de Janeiro), and we speak portuguese. I love english, and I learned it by myself, reading dictionaries, listenning to songs and watching to movies.. I'm improving my accent more and more talking to my north-american friends. If you're sure you wanna learn a good english, go on and work hard, do a course. I never wanted to do a course, it's kinda boring, I prefered learn it alone. I speak portuguese, english, spanish and a bit of italian.
That's all... have a nice afternoon.
:)

English is an international language to use worldwide, but I want to study Chinese, lol... for business dealings, I appreciate the Chinese way in transacting business. You will do fine, studying English by using it here in my lot you get to read discussions in English and need to respond in English as well, so there you are you already have a venue to practice understanding and expressing yourself in English, as long as you can communicate your ideas in English understandable enough, you should be alright. Practice, lol... Have a great time with your English

Yeah i am just the same with you, i also not live in the country that speak english.
I got my first english studying when i was in school, and i also have a english course, english is an international language, so i think it will be great if you can speak english.
Now i also can lear here from Mylot to practice my english, I have make discussion in english, so i think it would really help me to improve my english. It is really great here in Mylot i can communicate to much people from foreign country, i also get paid from the discussion, and i also got learning here, it is really good site for me.

I also come from the country that dont speak english. I learn english by myself beside I got the lesson too from school. I learn a lot by reading english magazine, chatting on the internet, watching movie without the translation text and listening music. This site is good if you would practice your english. for me too, i learn a lot by doing this discussion. Good luck and happy learning!!
