Hi there!

 How are you today? i hope you have a nice day and i just want to share tips and secrets to improve english… if you are really like to improve your english? feel free to contact me at any time at ...

here you go for one of my secrets to improve your english…

LISTEN! LISTEN! AND LISTEN!

Students sometimes say: 'I don't listen to the BBC news
on the radio because it's too fast for me and I can't
understand it.' That's a pity! When it's too fast for
you, when you can't understand it, that is exactly when
you NEED to listen to it!!!

How can you improve if you don't listen and practise?

When you were a baby, did you understand your own
language? When you were 3 weeks old, or 2 months, or 1
year, did you understand everything? Of course not! But
you learned to understand by listening. Think about
it. You learned to understand your own language by
listening, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. After that,
you learned to speak. Then you learned to read. And then
you learned to write.

But listening came first!

GOOD LUCK TO YOU

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND HAVE A NICE DAY

I HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU

Hi Amber,

First of all thank you very much for your commets to my add. well, don't  worry about your enlish and i hope you will get it soon. coz, you have found the right place to improve your english ya?

well, here you go for another secrest to imporove your english…

IMPROVE YOUR VOCABULARY WITH 5 WORDS A DAY

Vocabulary is easy! How many days in a year are there?
365, normally (on Earth).

If you learn only 5 new words a day, you will learn 5 x
365 = 1,825 new words in a year. ONE THOUSAND, EIGHT
HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE WORDS. That is a lot of new
words. And we are not counting all the other words you
will learn in other ways – reading, conversation etc.
Buy a notebook and write in 5 new words EACH day, EVERY
day. Learn them! You will soon have an excellent
vocabulary.

Good Luck to you and wish you a happy day

Hi Ilyasma, I'm Sunny from Thailand. I wrote your posted. I'm the one who learned English for a long time. I studied at Bangkok University. My major is English but my English is poor. Now I'm a secretary. I try to find someone to talk with me in English language, finally I found this web. Maybe you can help me to teach English language. Sometimes I afraid of to talk with the foreigner because I can understand what they're talking about but in my mind cannot speak out with them.

I wish to talk and listen English very well 

Thank you in advance

Good Morning My Dear Friends!How is your day? i hope you are having a nice day. by the way, i am glad to to read your responses and i thank you very much for your interest on learning English. May all your dreams come true.Here are some more helps that I would like to share with you today…My most important advice is to do something (anything), but above all have fun! Make it your hobby, not a chore.  There are many ways to improve your level of English, but only you can find the right way for you. Here are a few tips that might help:-  Improve your Learning Skills Learning is a skill and it can be improved. Your path to learning effectively is through knowing  Yourself Your capacity to learn Processes you have successfully used in the past Your interest and knowledge of what you wish to learn Motivate yourself 

And then…

 Visit an English speaking forum every day. Read a news article on the net every day. Do 10 minutes listening practice every day. Watch an English film at least once a month. Follow a soap, comedy or radio or TV drama.  A good way to meet your goals is to establish a system of rewards and punishments.  Decide on a reward you will give yourself for fulfilling your goals for a month.  A bottle of your favorite drink A meal out / or a nice meal at home A new outfit  Understanding how you learn best may also help you. I wish you all the best and a nice day…I will be back with some more help soon… Ilyas.
