Hello Everyone! I creat this topic: the best way to learn English better
I hope that everyone here will join with this topic.
Read, read and read.
Listen, listen and listen.
Write, write and write.
Talk, talk and talk.
Studying from grammar and vocabulary books will get you only so far. You need to absorb a lot of media in the language and talk to a lot of people.

hi
please tell me how to write and speak fluent english
Apart from what Jamie suggested, you can try this.
There must be some sentences that you can speak very fluently. For example, consider the following sentences:
- What is your name?
- Where are you going?
- I will meet you tomorrow
I guess you can say these sentences fluently as they have been used by you many times and have been registered in your subconscious mind.
Now, try to learn at least five sentences that are used very often in everyday speech and try to use them as many times as possible in your speech.
Even when you are speaking in your native language, try to incorporate these sentences whenever you think they will fit in.
Do this exercise for at least two/three days and go for a new set of sentences once you are done with the old ones. Do not forget to use the old sentences, less often though.
Have a look at the following sentences. You can practise lines like these.
- I won’t be long. (=I will come back soon)
- Where have you been?
- How are things going?
- I haven’t seen you since morning
- How do I look?
Have you ever wondered how children are able to pick up languages and become more quickly fluent? Some of what I’ve observed about kids is that:
a) They’re not afraid to make mistakes;
b) They “practice” all the time: they repeat sentences they know, get corrected in those phrases, and say them again. Sometimes they say the same sentences over and over again (to the annoyance of adults :-)) – but repetition helps remembering;
c) They expect correction and don’t take it personally (unless it’s nap time – but then again, who doesn’t get grumpy at nap time ;-));
d) They play with language, inventing new words, phrases, sentences, and new ways of stringing concepts together that don’t always make sense. This desire to break apart, reassemble and generally muck about with language helps to keep the experience fun and to further push the boundaries of what one already knows; and
e) They’re generally given much more license to be nonsensical and make unusual connections: children are expected to play. Adults, on the other hand, aren’t always greeted so enthusiastically by other peers when they make the same mistakes.
Reading and writing assignments generally helps the a) through d) experimentation process by solidifying concepts and helping to build a foundation. Don’t sweat e). Save that one for class.
Have fun in language land.
Cheers.
The best way to learn English is to marry to English. :lol:
Don’t you think so? :lol:
If you compare learning English to erecting a building, then I think that grammar is cement, vocabruary items (words, idioms, collocations …) are bricks and media (e.g. American/British English and so on) is the design. You can’t do without going over English grammar from time to time, learing new vocablurary and listening to media.
Also, you need to try to write/talk in English on your own (maybe to yourself) (damn, sometimes it’s the hardest part, but it puts to the test what you’ve learnt).
It doesn’t always work, as I have seen many times. Often if the English-speaking spouse understands the other spouse’s bad English, the other spouse never improves.
The wife might get tired of bad English, muster up her courage and take a stanse: “if you don’t improve your English in the next few days, I’m getting a divorse” :lol:
LOL, that’d be a pretty aggressive stance!
Do you really think that stan[color=blue]ce would be grounds for divor[color=blue]ce?
.
I’m catching your drift-ola :lol:
No, stance should not be a reason for divorce
