Hi libing2010! I'm not a native English speaker. I'm still learning to improve my English grammar. Mylot helped me improve it by just merely reading through discussions and comments. If there are words which I have not understood, I get a dictionary. Like you, I live in a country which only few people speak English. Reading books can also help you improve. But I think the best way of improving our English speaking and listening skills is to find friends who speaks the language and practice together. It is not necessary to learn from a native speaker just at least you can freely converse your thoughts to others. I find friends at www.italki.com it is a site where you can have someone who could teach you English and you could also share your native language to them. Happy mylotting! Goodluck!

No one is perfect in english. except persons from english country. keep posting here i hope you will feel improvement in your english. one of the best way is to read newspaper and read before someone. ask him how did you read and try to write articles here on website and read them. it will improve your english a lot.

Don't study English, try to use it. Study English if you want to be a writer for me the best way to learn how to speak English is simply make some good conversation with other people. .. read dictionary loud. watch english movies and try to impersonate them. .. I don't know if its works for you but its works for me.. And most of all self confidence.. You can speak better english that you think. What you need is self confidence when delivering.

This may look like stupid but it works. Many people talk to the mirror for english training purposes. It will improve your diction and confidence. Others like my friend always read novel books (thick ones) on the right hand and a dictionary at the left hand. This way, she will understand the meaning of unfamiliar words and you will get an idea on how to use it.

Even a native in america needs to know about "proper english" because most of them are slang. The technique are to speak the way they are, and have an accent of a north american, not british. You are a chinese right, you really have a different twist of tongue and seems like all your words have different symbols.

Hi Libing,welcome to mylot and i dont think your english worse man it requires some practice and then you would be proficient in writing but as far as your jobs are concerned they look out for those who can speak english so try to go through english newspapers and watch as many english movies as possible and try to get movies which include subtitles(you get the wordings at the bottom of the screen) so you get to follow their accent.this would take some time though but the more you practice the faster you learn.good day.

English has been my favourite language although it is not my mother tongue. I have been fully exposed to it as most of those I interact with write and speak well. I also go online whenever I have doudts,read a lot and listen to BBC, and such news readers. Good Luck to you.

HI friend, English is not my native language, but as much as possible i am trying my best to cope up with it, besides, it is a language that all people use and can be used to communicate with other countries as well For me, English is a must especially for work and as an aspiring writer, there is a need for me to perfect it. We can enhance our English skills in many ways like always reading English books, writing articles in English and speak in front of the mirror using English language. That is all i can share to you, have a great day.

English is not my native language, but I have acquired some good skills by studying and practising a lot. In my opinion the best way to become proficient at a foreign language is to practice every time you can. Also trying to read books, comics, or whatever you can find. Look up the words you don't know in a dictionary so you can build up new vocabulary. It takes lots of perseverance but I can assure that it's the best way.

Hi Libing2010, It was very good and strong of you put up this discussion on my Mylot as many people find it very hard to put up their weaknessess on any public website.I have studied in one of the best english medium schools in my area and have been told many number of times how to improve your english vocabulary skills.The best way is to read newspapers and magazines.start off your day with reading any english newspaper and then underline the words and phrases whose meaning you do not understand then you can find the meaning of those words and phrases which you will have to remember.It is not at all easy and will take time!!!! but you will have to need patience.Then start communicating with a friend or your family members even if they do not know how to speak English properly.This will give you the fluency of speaking English.English is not my native language.my Native language is Hindi as i am an Indian.i learnt this language in my school and have worked over it in the way i have told you and i am telling you with full confidence that if you try this out your English will definately Improve.Best of Luck

I think we have to stay at London, USA or Australia, countries with English language everyday. Me too some time wondering how to improve my English...

The best way is go to an english speaking country , like Canada. We have alot of foreigners here who have came here to study. Some of them have very poor english and strong accents , but after awhile they get better because english is everywhere. I know not everyone can just do that , so pick up some english books. Or even go on youtube and watch videos in english.

easy dude and just keep on login and chat here more will be helpful to improve your English .also i'd suggest you to watch some English moive weekly or daily if that's possible. that's the most effective way to learn English actually and good luck.

Hello dude, let me be frank, stop worrying anymore Bcoz u have already entered into an arena, where u can develop your english dramatically. Do read magazines, newspapers and post scraps, at one point you will feel the confidence in yourself.

English is after all a language yaar. Do not worry too much about it. Because it is not possible to learn all the languages of the world , a common lang is fixed. You can improve your english by reading newspapers. Read articles of famous americans,english. when your read more and more english stuffs, without your knowledge your grammar will improve. usually errors while speaking are excused. only good written english counts. good english increase your chances abroad oppourtunities. that is it. your country has good job oppourtunites then why worry

You are actually doing pretty good. English is a tough language to learn anyways. But If I were you, I would maybe invest in a product like Rosetta Stone, I heard its pretty good and easy to use. But in time, you will get better. Like I said, you writing english is very good, so you are already off to a very very good start! And Goodluck to you!
