I am so pleased I can sign in this lot and get to know so many friends. I am interested in English, so I would like to learn from everyone here. I hope that I can improvie my English by writing,chat to someone. Of course, if some friend wants to learn Chinese, I want to help him/her too. I am not sure if I will find such a friend.

You can always learn a language when you keep on using it and make communication with others. If you will only rely on book, you might learn but not that good at all. Its good to have someone who can talk to. And that can be consider as practising.

yes! I was trying to learn other language too. What i do is to watch their movies and other television shows. It helps though. Because you hear them talking.It makes you aware on how to pronounce this and that words. And if my mind catch a word, i look for it immediately on net. And from that i think im learning.

well, it is a good way for you to improve your writting here, but in my opinion, oral english is more important. i want to speak english fluently, but don't know what to do.

I agree on your words. In Mylot,we do practise more writing. but on the other hand, we can find so many friends here can help us with oral English. I would like to look for some friend who are interested in Mandarine, then we can chat via Skype,MSN or QQ, teaching languages each other. I think in this way, maybe we can improve our listening and oral step by step.

I can be you friend tryurbest. Yes of course you can learn English in this simple way. You can improve your English by simply using it, you can use it in so many ways like reading, read more English articles, books, magazines and a lot more. Another way is writing, practice writing and I am glad that you are doing it right now, keep writing in myLot. Watch English movies preferably with subtitles on it, it will give you a hint on how to say it, last is try using it trough speaking, communicate using English is a good practice. God Bless you an have a Good Luck. :)

The best way to learn a language is to speak and practice it. Dont worry about mistakes, just go on and continue speaking and practicing. I also had tried to learn a language and I learned it before my eyes. Your English is good for me. The thing is to be able to let other people understand what you want to say, this is communication. Along the way, you will slowly correct mistakes by yourself. Read, write and speak, this is the only key to learn a language. Watching English movies will also help. If you need anything I will be a message away too. I can help whenever you want.

It is very nice of you to giv me such good suggestions. Thank you so much. I fully agree with you. The more practice,the more improvement. I will make more practice on reading,speaking, writing and listening. Also, I would like to do something to help others with their Mandarin. So if you or your friends are interested in Chinese learning, please let them know I can offer some help. I can chat to them through Skype, MSN etc. I had such an experience to chat to a friend of US. Thanks again.

I would be happy to help with your English. My roommate in college my freshman year was from Korea and she hardly spoke any English and by the time she left she was very fluent in English. I'm not saying that I taught her English but I'm sure I helped out a lot being her roommate.

I think that using mylot will help you a lot with your english. I've seen people on here who have come with not much knowledge of the english language and through the years have learned more and more to where they are practically writing it fluently. As for those willing to learn Chinese, I am sure you will find plenty of them as well.

The aswer is sure. The most important thing of learning English is practice. The learning environment is also important. Here, everybody must discuss in English, it force you to chat in the same way. If you insist on spending some time in practising every day, you can see the progree. Wish you have a good time here.
