Maybe you can try chatting at yahoo messenger. There are a lot of foreigners there. You'll improve your english in no time.

First, ask permission if they want to be added to your contact list. Then, you can ping them whenever they're online. All the options are there. You can easily find it. I've never used yahoo messenger for a long time so i can't provide you with enough info. You're gonna have to use it yourself. It's user friendly though so you will not have too much trouble using it.

hi staroj, i am a freelancer and sometimes my boss are foreigners at first i was having a difficulty talking to the foreigners because they are good in english and they are hard to understand. but i conquered my difficulty because the only thing that is bothering me is my fear... the fear of talking to them,, when you talk to foreigners they are good people. you can even ask them question.. ^^ you can even make them your friends.. hehe they are good people.. if you are not afraid of them and you want to improve your english skill.. you have to read more newspapers that way you can get familiar with the english language or face the mirror and practice your english speech that way you can make your pronunciation good.,, i hope i help you

talk to yourself in english... program your mind in english... say anything in english...when you wake in the morning, greet yourself in english...talk to your dog in english...when you are cooking, cook it in english... when you are facing in the mirror... send yourself a letter in english...that's all... then eventually you will get surprise to yourself that you are speaking in english already... you will become confident to face and talk to foreigner... take it from me.

Yup I agree with adeena2000. In that way you'll get used to speak english. And watch lots of movies or shows, than can help you alot too. I once used this method and I didn't have to go to a English Course programs. Saves you lots of money too. :D

Through yahoo messenger, msn or skype. You have to enter in the chat room and make some conversations with the persons in the said room.

Hey, If you want to improve your English keep thinking in English, as far as your pronounciation concern try to chat with people on the messengers like Yahoo, go to the regional chatting and chat in the location like US, UK, Australia etc, if you are not familar with Yahoo Messenger contact me for more details. You must have confidence to speak English, you can see English movies as well, that will improve your pronounciation and that will help you to improve your accent.
