i wanted to learn how to speak english fluently

you know, no one in my family speak in English because they don't finish their study. My sister is only up to second year highschool, and my father is only elementary graduate, my mother don't even finish grade 3. therefore i dont speak english at home. and even in the place where i'm working. I dont talk most of the time. I enrolled in an english class for 60 hrs.My schedule is 2 hrs per day and i was hoping that after hoping that it will help me to build my confidence in speaking english.

thank you for your good response but you know, i really run out of words when there is someone to talk me... specially when it is foreigner.. i cannot explain clearly what they want to know.. and i cannot also use my native language because they cannot understand it more. Here in my current job, there are some foreigner visit in the office. and you know what i always do, i always refer them to the other Admin assistant which they really supposed to talk... but when its really me who they need to talk, its hard for me...

i agree you there. but if you're going to work in a call center, you gotta start the training for English proficiency, but speaking in basic is alright. you practice and probably watch English speaking movies and see how they talk and check which one is proper way to see watch people having conversation in english.that's the start.

Nice, Here in myLot your English can be honed and there are more venues now in the web where you can really learn how to communicate foreigners well in English. Here in the web I learned a lot everyday and I am more confident now to talk to my Big Bosses or to other foreign nationals. And writing blogs is the other venue too where you can also hone your desire to learn to speak English not necessarily fluent but can easily communicate with the foreign nationals that they can understand what you are telling them. For us Filipino, we really need to upgrade ourselves in order for us to compete in the global market. Take time to open a tab for dictionary then type words that you think are useful in your day to day conversation with your clients. And also start to get out from your shell and mingle with other person, that's one thing also for you to learn good verbal communication. Well, good luck to us!:)

and that is my problem, i dont know when and where to practice.. i am a quiet type of person and i dont talk most of the time. even here in the office, we are not that close to talk everything. in our house, no one speak in english, when i wanted to watch english movie, my family dont like beacuse they are watching soap opera or teleserye. hay...

When? NOW is the time...Where? use the World Wide Web or those people right beside you now...:)

yes that's right i need to practice now because i really need it. i'm already 29 and i will get older next year... i just hoping that my internet at home will be repair soon so that i can practice more in the web. than kyou.

yes that's right, i remember when i was young i am not good i English, but its is OK to me because i thought to myself that i am here in the Philippines, my native language is what i need. but now i saw how important to learn it... I cannot practice it everyday because i have no one to talk to. even here in the office, there is only once in a blue moon that some foreigner residents visit me there to ask question with their bill. in our house too. no one speak in English there.
