Can we really learn English through online, like Youtube? I can write in English but to speak it is very difficult, especially to hear. I want to learn through online, and it is better if I can get it for free. Do you know the free learning English online? Thank you for sharing, and all the best...

Actually, learning English is not as difficult as you think. As long you willing to put some effort into it, over the time you surely able to speak some simple English. One of my friends, who came from Chinese school unable to speak English at first. He bought some learn speaking English audio and practice everyday. At last, he able to speak some simple English from there. So far, i haven't heard any free learning English online site yet. Hope you can speak English well in the near future...

I feel learning English is easy by reading English News Paper and English magazines. You can look for meanings of the words you don't understand on www.dictionary.com and also check for the example sentence present on the site. Note things down in a notebook and try to use in day to day life. Try to speak as much as English possible, no matter if people make fun of you.

Hi atleya.. I used to work in a call center company where we were trained to be so fluent and adapt to American English. Our leaders told us to watch American films and try to imitate the actors pronunciation and accent. We were not aloud to use our native language as means of communicating to everyone even security guards or people working in cafeteria when we were at the company's premise. We were advised also to talk American English as much as we can so most of us did even when we were riding a bus or at the mall or everywhere. Hope these could help you.. Good luck and have fun learning!

I'm not sure if there are online english tutorials for free. But I know that there are a lot of paid online english tutorials. I think you can learn a few things at youtube but you can learn better if you have a live online english teacher. To learn conversational english, you actually have to converse or to talk to someone who is very well-versed with the language. Some online teachers teach via skype or video chat. These online teachers will be able to teach you the right pronunciation and the right intonation when you speak in English.
