English learning thread

If you need to improve your speaking skills, I would suggest you to find a native speaker and try as much as possible to talk about different subjects. In a short period you will drastically improve confidence, pronunciation and vocabulary. English is a wide subject which needs persistent effort.

Am not sure, if this is real spoken and not written English learning platform. Most people especially in Tz are better when it comes to writing in English than speaking it.

Learning a new language needs some conducive learning platform, meaning that language should be Lent from those knew the language well and they have ability to correct your mistakes in real time.

I have been struggling leaning English through people whom in part they don't know the language well as consequence my progress has been too slow.

Recently have made my decision of agreeing to be looked down as idiot but I want to push my limits by utilizing any platform that will allow me to practice English.

I say anything, I write anything, I don't take seriously any mistake made through my conversation. My aim to become more better than was yesterday.

I keep reading books, listening to music and watching TV news in English. Sometimes when I'm walking I keep talk to myself ....all these is to overcome this one of the challenge in my life

Recently I have discovered that I have special ability in making description but the language become my limitation. So I have decided to work on my weakness for my betterment.

I have a dream... one day I will become good English writer. Many will look to my documentary in social media including Jf. I promise you will be shocked with my radical improvement that I would become.

Kindly ...anyone interested to help, take my hand I'm ready to be assisted

It's me pureman
