English is not my first language. I have studied English for many years,but I can't find any efficient ways to level up.Such as watching American video and reading English novels. Paticularly,I want to know how to improve my oral English and listening. Because of environment, I have no chance to chat foreigner. Above that,could you give some suggestion for me?

Hi, It seems you know English. Whatever you want to call it, there are lots of ways of contacting other people who wish to learn or improve their English or simply want to share their love of English. As you wrote in English and seems you want more friends to interact. To learn more and improve oral, you can interact with other visitors by making friends and leaving an introduction. Talk to them and try to speak more often..

I am also trying to improve my vocabulary. What I do is I pick 5 words daily, learn their meanings and use them in sentences. It would be hard to improve your oral skills if you don't talk to native Englis speakers so maybe you can just read aloud while reading.

I have similar problem sometime ago until i develop some methods. 1. the most effective way ti improve your English is by communicating and chatting with English. Look for people that has English as their native language, befriend them,communicate and chat with them at all times and you will see yourself improve every minute. 2. Another effective method is to practice on your own. There is this method i often use. Sometimes, i will lock myself up in my room , sit in a chair with newspaper in my hands, and i will say to myself; i want to cast news. I will pretend to be casting news,the newspaper out, trying as much as possible to use oral english while casting the news. Once you do it twice daily, say , morning and evening, before 1 month, you will be more fluent than you have ever been. These methods worked for me.
