I have many books like: -English vocabulary in use. -vocabulary for IELTS. - Longman dictionary. - Longman photo dictionary. - English real reading 1 - English real listening and speaking 1 - English grammar in use. Do you see how many books I have! but I don't read them because I feel I lost. and I don't know from where to start.
June 17, 200818 yr Hi Discovery, Where are you from? One of my favourite ways to practise/improve my German was to go through my DVD collection and find which of my fave movies were in German as a second language. (Lots of UK DVD's also have the German/French/Spanish/Other audio) To start with perhaps watch them with the English audio but your own language subtitles, eventually lose the subtitles. Also putting English subtitles on things that are in English or your own language can really help. Then it's like reading but WAY more interesting. Of course the best way is just to practice, so join in the conversation on here. There are also services which will match 2 people who want to learn each other's language so that they can practice on Skype or what-not like this: http://www.mylanguageexchange.com/penpals.asp

June 17, 200818 yr I have many books like: -English vocabulary in use. -vocabulary for IELTS. - Longman dictionary. - Longman photo dictionary. - English real reading 1 - English real listening and speaking 1 - English grammar in use. They sound really boring. Maybe that's the problem? How about reading something more interesting and looking up words you don't know in a dictionary?

June 18, 200818 yr The best kind of advice I can give you is to install something like Skype or something like that, and try to talk to as many natural English speakers as you can. This is probably the best way to learn. If not, buy a book you've read in your own language, in English. So you have an idea what's going on etc, and then read it in English. This, of course depends on the level of your ability to speak English. How would you rate yourself out of 10 ?
