Are you satisfied with your English skills?

My mother tongue is not English. So my schooling is in my own language. In college I faced problems coz lack of Grammar in English. I learned slowly by reading books and news paper and also hearing to English news. After that i joined in one German Company where i really learned a good English but German english and US english pronunciation has difference. They are good, they tought me a lot, how to write and communicate etc., but still i feel i donot know full language and I'm a learner. I am not satisfied with the language what i know. Certainly English language will help you in development of one's career.

Hi ,p3ks626.I am an English beginner.I spend much time on vocabulary ,and I try to listen to VOA everyday .I have passed an English exam for college students(we must pass it ,or we can not graduate).I try to chat online with our foreign teacher .However ,when I met my foreign teacher yesterday , I could just say "Hello!.......Yeah.......we'll go to ...." in the end ,we say goodbye to each other by Chinese!!OMG How poor my English! But I do love english .I just don't know how to learn it well!~~o(_

Let me start by saying your English is very good and clear, however you do make a number of errors which are common to those learning English from diverse language origins. This gives me reason to wonder if these errors arise because of the structure of English compared to other languages. all the best urban

satisfied, yes. and, lame as this may sound, i do think my english is good enough. but i would like it if i can improve more. i used to think my english is extremely good. but when i moved to an english speaking country, i realized that my english is very good in writing and listening, but i need time to process what i want to say. but after a few years living here, it has become a lot better. and it is satisfying to be able to converse with people without feeling like they don't understand me so english, or any language that is not our mother tongue, needs practise. and stop treating it like a subject you're learning in school, but like a skill you need to have in life

Hi there! No i am not really satisfied with my English skills, i felt often that i need to develop my vocabularies more and more because mine was truly of the beginner side. Im not really satisfied with my skills for i ran out of words sometimes, i want it to be just like of my native language that I could converse what i wanted to say without stopping whenever I forgot to translate something. I do hope to became English proficient one day not like today that i am only a beginner. Thanks and have a pleasant day ahead!

i'm not satisfied with my english especially vocabulary and listening.seldom people around me speak english so i haven't a good language environment.so i'm aways not good at speaking english.i think i need to speak more and listen to english more.

I get disappointed with myself every now and then especially because I think I can write well but that skill is not apparent in oral so as a fresh graduate of journalism, I happened to grab this first job interview which requires good oral skills but I am a bit shy with my oral skills so I never get to use it in the actual interview. The end result of it? I did not get the job. You know, it's really hard to know what your weakness is and not have the guts to be your best at it. It's like, I know the problem but I can't face the solution, really. It is hard, I admit. Now, I'm keeping a note in my laptop (and to myself) to practice my English oral skills to have a better me and to bang that job I've been wanting eagerly. Like they say, no guts, no glory. So the best advice for us is to read some self-help books and of course, practice, practice and more practice. good luck to us! we can do this!

English is my native language. I also have A grades at GCSE level of English Language and English literature and a B grade at A Level for English Lang + Lit Combined course. So unless I wanted to teach the subject, I have adequate skills to get through day to day life, post on forums, write letters and emails etc. Even though my English is good, I will still continue to read books in order to learn more words since I doubt there is one person who knows the meaning of all words.

Well even if others say I am already good in speaking English I still challenge myself to learn more about the language. There is nothing wrong in improving it and I never think of myself better than others because I always leave for more improvement. As the going goes, no one is perfect so why pretend. I always see things as an opportunity to be better in what I am good at but it does not necessarily mean I have already perfected my skills in English.

I guess I would say that I am satisfied with the level of my English communications skills. There are still times where I need help from friends when I can't come up with certain words. But I think it is getting better with the more time I spend on Mylot posting stuff.

As far as I am concerned, I think i am not satisfying with my English skills here so much. For me, I will have an English text just the day after tomorro,which I think I will have little confidence to paas . So evryday morning I will get up early to pratice my English in order that O can pass the exam that follows tomorrow.

Not satisfied also. Since English is not also my native language, sometimes I find it hard to compose a sentence, I often ask Mr. Webster for words I can't understand. I wished that my parents initiated to talk to me in English even at home since I was a kid, and wished also that I studied in an English speaking school so that my English is better. And besides, I am not a good speaker and my diction is not good, I am better writing than speaking.

I think that we all have flaws and mistakes.English is also my 2nd language.It was not easy learning a language that you don't speak. All you need to do is believe that we are all capable of doing so and should have more practice..

well learning English is not that hard but the other terms Americans use got me thinking but it's not that hard,the thing is you have to practice the pronunciations of the words and i can't be satisfied with my English skills even though some say that im good in English,i want to understand more about the language the deeper meaning of terms some sort like that

English have many skills including reading, writing,listening,speaking skills and so on.I am a teacher from Chinese University. I feel that I am good at reading,but perform badly in writing, listening and speaking.I want to enhance these skills.Can you help me?

In our country, English is taught from elementary days until you reach college. Although I was exposed to english language when i was still studying, i feel that there still a need for me to improve my english especially when it comes to vocabularies. How i wish i were serious on learning this language when i was still studying because right now, I have no confidence talking people in english.

not at all my dear because i am belong to village that's why my language of speaking English i have learned English when i have completed graduation then i was to afraid from English but always thought that without English i can't do anything then try to speak and learn and now in the front of you. what you think about me but i am totally right??????

English is not my native tongue, and most of my childhood is spent conversing in Mandarin, which is my mother tongue. I only got to get in touch with English when I entered school. Even though I have spent more than 10 years in school learning the English language, I wouldn't say I am proficient in English, but just adequate enough. However, I am satisfied with my English skill, but of course, there's always room for improvement.

I grew up in the province where english was not so much spoken of. I remember my adviser and teacher then even lent me some books in english. But during that time I wasn't concerned very much and I was lazy to study english. I just left those books half unread. For me passing the subject and having good grades were enough. I didn't even try to polish my english skills. Now I'm having a hard time expressing myself in english especially verbally. I have poor listening abilities too when it comes to this language. I want to change career and apply in a call center. But I don't have the confidence to do so. Thank God we have Mylot where I can practice and polish my English.

english is my second language, and i'm not really satisfied with it. i'm quite good with listening, but for writing and speaking, not so much. when writing, i stopped a lot to think what to write, and when speaking, i got nervous and then stammer at the first time, but it got better to the end. in my school, english is really hard to learn, not a lot of people got good marks on english, and when they speak, they don't really pay attention to the correct grammar or pronounciation, so it's hard for me to learn too :((
