Mylot is a perfect environment to increase your English skills in. A lot of cultures come together and with that a lot of English styles come too. Just give mylot a chance and you'll reap the benefits. I would also recommend you to go and check out websites on the internet that are specialized in teaching you English. Best is to do a lot yourself because you may find that English taught at school is a bit too formal or not fitting your style or needs.

Hi monnstar! Another trick you can do is to familiarize yourself with a lot of english songs. You can carry around lyrics and translations so you can easily look up what the song meaning is and you will get used to the phrases and will eventually memorize them. that's what i did when i tried learning chinese and i am sure it can also be used to learn english. :D Good luck!!!

hi monnstar! There are fours ways to study English on your own. You only need, to read, listen, write and speak english. READ, through reading your can hone your spelling, grammar, and your vocabulary. LISTEN, through listening to the radio, conversations on televisions or anything, you can learn how the words are being read and pronounce. WRITE, through writing you can practice your knowledge, vocabulary, grammar and spelling by your own. Lastly, SPEAK English, communicate with your friends, colleauge and anybody using the language of ENGLISH on that way you can hear yourself talking english, even correct your own self if you have wrong grammar. Try this, maybe this may help you on how you study ENGLISH..
