I'm Bad in English

Hi axlrate Well for speaking you have to do it at your own but I believe your written english is quite better than many people of my state. I can suggest you get some online dictionary and if possible a software by the name wordweb. They are great to find the meanings of words. To speak better english, well, two things - Have the confidence to speak in English, and second try to speak in english with people who are close to you and will help you - some friends have a bad habit of making fun at other's learnings so if you have any such friends, do not speak in english with them. And lastly, if you have the wish(or desire), there is no one who can stop you from knowledge. I have realized it many a times and so can say this with confidence.

I think you're doing very good in your English so far, especially for living somewhere that it is not native or a lot of people speaking it. You would not believe how many people live here in Arizona and cant even speak a word of English. I understand its not their native tongue, however they do not even try nor care if they can speak it or not. I give you much respect for wanting to learn another language that your not even required to learn and you're doing great! Keep it up it just takes time as with anything, practice makes perfet.

I don't know how much time you took to type this discussion, but your language is quite understandable by me and don't worry here no one is giving you marks or something like that so feel free put out your views and reading the discussions and responding to them will make you improve your writing skills so don't worry , keep going.

English is my second language too. i study english very late.i often make mistakes.i try to practice it.

My oral english is broken that often bothers me.My teacher gives me some advices that I shoud pratice speaking more english with my friends or classmates in the daily life,and I can not be afraid of speaking english wrongly.Other way is reading it usually by following the radio or other tools.

There is nothing wrong on trying, at least you are giving your best to express what you feel in your discussion. I am also having difficulties in speaking in English and keep on stammering whenever I spoke but remember the saying, "practice makes perfect". I am still trying and practicing to be fluent in English because I wanted to and also you can try reading some books it will help you a lot.^_^

I don't think your English is that bad. I am able to understand your post perfectly and I think you write quite well. Just practice more, be more confident and do not be afraid to make mistakes. Take care and have a nice day.

English is my second language, too. You shall not be afraid to speak it. As the practice makes perfect. Especially when you are learning a foreign language, the practice is important. I love China

You post is quite all right. Fluency in English is simply practice. Keep reading newspapers and magazines. Practice speaking by reading articles in front of the mirror.

On the contrary,I think you know more English than I do.It took you longer time because you are meticulously checking every words what you have written.And for that your English is getting better.Keep up the good work.

I think you are ok with writing in english my friend :) Sometimes I too have difficuty in checking my grammar and vocabulary however, with continued practice in typing and thinking of english words, I think we will be ok. Also, if you have time try and read books like novels in english, this will help you with your vocabulary. In speaking, if you have a friend who has english for a native language, engage in conversation so that you will be practiced too :)

you are not alone. i, myself, i think, is not good in english too. i just tried my very best to respond to a discussion and clearly show the idea of my response. actually mylot is my training ground to practice my english. they say, 'practice makes perfect'. so i make it a point to respond to discussion almost everyday just to practice it. and as of now, no one commenting on my response that they dont understand what i am talking about. so i think it is a good sign that my english is good =D

Before, I had a difficulty in speaking in English and I was so conscious if my grammar was right. But I learned to realize that it's only in the Philippines that people are very conscious of grammar. I met a lot of foreigners and they are not conscious if their grammar is right or wrong. For them, the most important is you can understand each other. They even appreciated our jeepney and taxi drivers and other common people because they can speak in English even just a little.If you're in the other country, no one will tell you that your vocabulary or your English is wrong. So friend don't worry. The most important is you're able to transmit your message. Don't mind of your grammar.

Count me in. I've been watching Youtube English tutorial lately just to practice myself with the American accent. I wanted to speak it fluently. This is because i did apply for an agent, gone through the hiring process, passed the initial interview, and missed just a point to pass the verbal exam. I wanna nail it next time so I better look for ways to learn. :/

I don't think your English is that bad. I am able to understand your post perfectly and I think you write quite well. Just practice more, be more confident and do not be afraid to make mistakes. Take care and have a nice day.

Well I think with enough experience and practice you will eventually master the english language.

Hi there! The important thing here is you are able to deliver a message clearly. Your english is not that bad. I understood what you were trying to convey, and I'm pretty sure, you are not the only one in this situation. At least thru mylot, you are able to practice your english, right?

Hi, I think 60 to 70 cent crowd have the same problem including me. First requirement to improve english is that one need to have good basic level i.e. from primery level. Second one should found such atmospheare around routin life. Third one also should be firm on such determination and so on..

hi axlrate7... don't be worry you are not alone, we plenty here.! :)
