How good is your English?

I started my English learning course about two months ago. When I started it, I felt that it would not be beneficial and helpful for me, but then, I admitted that I was wrong in my judgement. Moreover, I realized its importance and significance. In addition, I have improved my language to a great extent through this course. I came to know about minor mistakes of our every day situations in speaking and writing English. I don’t know about others but for me this English language course has turned out to be very useful, effective and advantageous.

I am interested in knowing my current English level.
Thanks.

Sir , I would say that I can read and write English , I can understand it quite well but the problem that I face is that I dont feel very confident when it comes to proper usage of grammar . Basically , I want to improve my grammar . I apprehensive about the face that the sentence that I am speaking might be grammatically incorrect . Lately I have realised that at times I use wrong prepositions .

Thanks

Good evening Dear Torsten,

At begining, i would like to say you i am very hapy for your helping in english. So, i define an advanced learner english as a learner who can speak english fluently. He can hear, speak and write english easier than a beginner in english. He is able to work in english no problem.

Please, after you have checking my response, make up me to know. In the same time, can you test my level and say me?

Best regard

Hi Torsten

I just read your question to ask my english level. I also read some of Englsh students gave their answers. For examples like Yulia, Regine and Nola.

As my country Indonesia, his customs, his habits of his peoples when we speaks foriegn languages, they aren’t symphatic. You may know that my country had been occupied by the Netherlands more than 350 years. So since our independence at August, 17, 1945, more of our peoples (not all), all of them thoughts as I mentioned above.

About me, the begining learning English language from Secondary School. When my old is twelves years. But not active. I mean when the lesson of English language only I learned English. I have ever learned in the Academic for Foriegn Language. Not English language only, but there are four foriegn languages I must be learned.

Fortunately for communications between lecturer with students, the English language is used. I have ever learned “phonetic” “poem” "I haven’t known what this type name, like NE’ER is meaning Never. SO’ER is meaning of so ever " and there many more the other samples. So I am absolluly very difficult to define my English level.

Thanks

Hello Mr. Torsten,

I really interesting that question, but I don’t know how to answer it, but I think my English is very lower level, Sometimes when I read your email I think I can understand what that mail means. Maybe I’m not exactly right about it, but just try to get it. so I think I need some formula from all member here and specially from Mr. Torsten, about how to answer this question in right way. Hopefully, :slight_smile:

Many thanks,
Matt

Hi Torsten,
To give you the answer to your question" how advanced am I?" , I should ask myself a question first: “which of the four language skills do I consider is the most important?”
Majority of people would say"Speaking". Of course, it is the skill which springs to mind first when we think about learning a lanuguage. That’s why we so often ask questions:" Do you speak English?", not " Do you read French?" or " Do you listen to Russian?". One good reason for this may be that in many real life situations it is the ability to speak language- rather than read it, say- that’s critical.
However, it is also the case that we see the need to raise English for academic competence to level which will enable us to enter the very competetive world of the four skills ( listening, speaking, reading and writing ).
Longman Dictionary of Americam English defines “advanced” as “studying or relating to a school subject at a difficult level: an advanced student”. I can admit that I don’t have a satisfactory command of English. The knowledge of grammar structures and some words may not be enough for advanced level. I can’t mantain the flow of a conversation, or deal with tact and diplomacy to speak persuasively. On the other hand I am not a beginner. You may know the most sophisticated grammatical structures and still be unable to communicate.
Many thanks,
Margaret

Dear Mr. Torsten,

                    Hearty  greetings  from Phani.
                   On behalf  all my learners you should be appreciated on yours
                   the greatest effort to teach english .
                   Really  I  don't  know how to measure my self english skills.
                   But  I am sure that I'm poor at listening and speaking skills.

                                               Many thanks and warm Regards.

Good morning Torsten:

I agree with you. An advanced learner is someone who has full command of the language.
I don’t mind going over “easy” topics and exercises because sometimes I find new words.

Thank you for everything.

Hi Torsten,

It is very a very great pleasure to e-mail you for the first time. For more than three months I receive your emai lessons and I’m very happy with them because they provide me with sufficient additional information, which are useful for me and my learners. I also appreciate letters from other members of the forum, from which I also get useful information on their experience with English. From the time statrted reading your letters, I’ve noticed that I and my students as well still have a lot to learn.

English isn’t my native language so I think that I will never get such ability to use English naturally. It isn’t easy to learn every word and know its meaning. In Polish we have one word and in english there is couple words describe the same things or features. For me it’s complicated.
