Just an idea. - Get two copies of the same book that interests you: one in English, one in Chinese. (and be patient). - Read ONE paragraph in Chinese. Read the SAME paragraph in English. - Pay special attention to which words are written (and spoken) in what "order." That is called "syntax." - (word arrangement.) - (very important for "professional.") - Thich Nhat Hanh has written many books that have been translated into many different languages. He uses simple language about many daily things. The SAME book, one in English one in Chinese, might be useful for you. - Good Fortune for you. Gary.

@missmeerkat Hi.Welcome to myLot. You can try to watch English movies and @mygrace is correct, you can try to read books to enhance your English. There are online English modules online that you can try as well. I found this website before its called LIVEMOCHA. You can try to visit that site. I am also from Asian country. I am from Philippines. Because I am eager to learn English, I took it as my major subject when I went to college. And I am currently working in a call center company. It really helps talking to someone in the US. I hope you will consider my advice. Have a nice one.

I think it's very important to learn about the culture of English speaking countries.
