Some are free and some will cost you some money. Firstly the free ways. Put yourself in situations where you have to speak English. If you come from a place where English is spoken around you then getting out there and speaking is the best way. If you aren't surrounded by English speakers then there are online meeting places. Polyglot is very popular and you can make language exchanges with people who are wanting to learn your language and teach English to you. Depending on where you are from you might be also able to find a language exchange in your area.

I need more explanation. 1. To hear her speak English, you would think she was American. I think "was" is used because this sentence is a subjunctive mood. This sentence means "She is not American. But she speaks English very well, so she is like American." Or I can also say, "If you heard her speak English, you would think she was American." This sentence looks like a past tense, but in reality this expresses a present fact. I suppose that the reason the word "was" is used in this sentence is she is not American.

That alone expands the horizon and makes her learn many things that are not necessarily useful in her endeavor to be able to speak English. So, I am afraid, I wanted a more conventional approach to begin with. Once I (or she) bring(s) her(self) to speed with the Computer and the Internet, I am sure she will join EF in the earnest.

The best advice that I can give is the same that was given to me and which words well. 1. Tell your students "You learn to speak English with you ears, not your eyes." and keep reinforcing it. Teach them to understand that English is not a phonetic language. They should try to see each word as model for a combination of sounds. 2. Do not always write on the board. Encourage them to listen carefully to what you are saying. 3. Get them to speak.

I have examples of the benefits of English for you: All airline pilots and air traffic controllers have to speak English. They have to learn a precise and specific vocabulary. If pilots and controllers would speak different languages, international air travel would be very dangerous, if not impossible. In many countries, the citizens have different tribal languages. Even though English is not a native language, the governments select Engilsh as an adopted national language. There are several reasons for this. 1) no one tribe will have a political advantage over the others; 2) a common language will enable people of different tribes to communicate with each other without them having to learn all the other tribal languages; 3)...http://www.englishforums.com/English/CommentsPronunciationNeeded/gpjbg/post.htm#577586Sat, 18 Oct 2008 14:34:56 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:577586annvanCaedmon, don't change anything.

The clip is 5MB in size and I've uploaded it to this URL: http://www.mediafire.com/?m2vmzzmj2ma . The text is from Richard III. I would like to hear both your general impressions and any detailed remarks you may have. I am particularly interested in learning precisely what traits in my speech give me away as a second-language speaker, whether there is anything in my speech that would impede communication, and finally (mostly out of curiosity) whether you can guess my native language from my accent.
