| | maybe it is a little difficult for us who treat the english as the second language to learn.though some people who not growth in english country can speak english well,it's to be proved that we can also speak english influently in the future,so you should insist on them for a long time, and express ideas what you want to convey,generally speaking,the successful can be back to three points:self-confidence,another is desire,and still another is determination.as for me,there is the same suffering with you,we all should remain a good mood,and often practise english,especailly oral english in spare time.it is lucky for you in a good environment,so believe in yourself.more importantly,you need to pluck up your courage to express your opinion.Good Luck To You! | | | | | | |

| | As English is an International language, it's necessary to know how to speak n write.. Until u r 38 yrs, where did u work, Up to now u didn't have problem in communicating in English with any one.. By the way, in which country are u living? As u can write, read and understand English... to good standard,, all u need is be sure with what u speak.. When it comes to English, speaking and writing are both the same way. U speak also grammatically.. unlike in languages like Sinhala and Tamil, where u don't have the need to speak grammatically. But when it comes to English it's different... What I could suggest u to improve ur English, is read a lot.. story books, novels, papers.. magazines.. watch English channels.. If u aren't much sure about ur grammar, u can learn about that.... Also if u can get hold on with a person who can speak both English and ur native language fluently.. it will be much easier for u to learn more easily as he can explain u in ur native language.. If u want some help with grammar, I can send u my e book about grammar, which I prepared for my Teacher Training Project.... If u r interested let me know... | | | | | | |

| | Hello. First of all, learning never stops. Age doesn't matter. Even the brightest people still learn something new each day. Take some time to learn till you fully understand it. What matters is that whenever there's a word that you don't understand, check it in a dictionary for you to know the meaning of that word and how they use it. Read, read, read. Write, write, write. Listen, listen, listen and speak, speak, speak. Practice always makes things perfect. You may not have the perfect grammar but in my opinion, you are doing fine. I perfectly understand what you are trying to say on how you compose your sentences. Goodluck! | | | | | | |

| | I know it's not easy. I find it not easy too. English is not my native language. I'm a Filipino living with a Filipino family and use our native Filipino language in our day to day lives. We learned English at school since Kindergarten. Although English has always been part of the Filipino school's curriculum, Filipinos don't use it often. We don't use it that much in speaking at all. Thanks to modern era, most movies, drama and music played here are in English. You know how it's like when you understand English well even if you can't talk in the same good way? That's how it's like here. Talking or using English is a different story because it's you who will compose the grammar yourself. But you're doing just fine. Just keep on participating in forums, watch good English movies online and you'll even find yourself progressing each day. | | | |

| | Ya, you have to learn English, since it is an international language, it is being spoken all over the world. In business it is necessary that one should learn English, because the business is growing from locally to internationally, and employee has to interact with international customers. English is necessary if you are dealing internationally, it is also necessary in local but not that much. You may join any good English class, or you may learn it online there are many programs are there. I will recommend you a software called Rosseta Stone for learning English and other international languages as well. As far as your mistakes concern, I will advise you to use 'I' as a CAPITAL when ever you write, and make first character CAPITAL of every personal noun. By the way be confident while trying to speak and remember if you really want to improve your English, then think in English, believe me it helps a lot, and be with myLot it will also help you much to improve your English. Best of Luck!! | | | | | | |

| | Rosetta's quite expensive. It's good, though. Keep on practicing. I suggest you read good books. IT doesn't have to a real serious read. So long as it will help you understand how grammars are constructed. Don't rush. Learning is like growing up. It takes time. | | | |

| | I think learning any language will be a benefit for you, its not about at what age you are learning, its all about whether you are able to learn or not, if you learn then it will help you, especially when it comes to english, its more important.. | | | | | | |
