I just want to promote my english. But I come to realize that no matter how frequent I read English materials, if I dont use it, I cant make it my own language.I can only understand others saying, but can not express my own feelings and thinkings.
So here I want to find a partner who are learning chinese, i counld teach hime maybe... instead he or she can teach me english in return.
Live talking on the internet is prefered, either by mylot chatting or other online communicating softwares. I dont want to write emails, because if i do so, i will certainly check the dictionary before sending, thats meaningless i think.

I am from India and I am not very good with English too. I don't know the Chinese either. I think you are interested in learning English because it is universal language and you can earn by learning it. I don't know Chinese and I think it will be good if I know it too.
I can not talk to you online but yes I want to learn it. Thanks.

hehe nice to meet you. think of indian, the first image come to my mind is Raj(the big bang theory, he's funny).
Just several hours ago, i read a post talking about indian languages.it's said to be many dialects in india,much like in china,even in shanghai such a single city, there are more than 7 dialects.
is english similar to indian?

Yes I also know the Raj from the Big Bang Theory, he is funny because he has played the role of a person who is suffering from a social anxiety disorder.
He also speak the English in the series but one can observe the difference in the ascent. I think in real he can speak much better English with the actual ascent but the character portrayal is such that he has to play it that way.

you remind me that one day, i listened a Indian's talk on YY(a live talk software in china).His accent is so strong that merely few people can understand him. from that day on,it became my image of the indian english......mean no harm
there're many japanese english show videos online. their accents are so awful.they use katakana to spell every tone, if you had learned japanese, its easily for you to identify.

I'd be willing to learn and have sessions with you. I can teach you English but I must warn you first that I have no background in Chinese language so when you do decide to agree to teach me, you'll have to start from scratch. If you are still interested then you can PM me and maybe we can settle to a schedule that would be agreeable to us.

NO it is not, but English is like the second language here. Our country was or maybe is still known for being one of Asia's leading places to have great comprehension and English skills. Personally, I have been speaking English since I have learned to talk. In school, we have the subject all the way from kinder to college. It is also one of my strong suits. Anyway, I would still be glad to learn from you, but I think there has to be a system.

that will cost a lot of money. after taking several tutorial classes for other kind of learning, i find whats the most important is myself. self-educated is not a bad way to go, but mostly because it saves money..- -!5 years ago,i went to learn japanese. i went to the school every saturday for 2 years,and it costed me a lot of money. but having not learned well, and i havent used it for so many years, i almost forgot how to speak...
