English courses we study in university

i found the courses we study in university does not play a important role. we only communicated with our teacher, perhaps one day one sentence, perhaps nerver say a word with your teacher during your four years. if you are a student, you should spend more time here, it will help you, by the way, you can make some extra money.

Yes i agree with you .After so many years for english i like to study it by some degree but i can't use it just like my mother tongue especially the oral,that is a problem .Everyday we study english just for the exam and seldom for the use or communtiation .

when i read this discussion, i think you must be a chinese student because so many students in China complain about their tedious English learning. practice is really important but if you haven't learned English in university perhaps you will feel it difficult to communicate here.

Of course,if we want to conmmnicate with foreigners freely,we must try all kinds of ways to improve our English.For instance,we can read English magazines,see English movies,have a chat with some persons whose native language is English and so on.We can greatly improve our English by these ways.Do you think so?

I've found an intriguing phenomenon here in myLot -- all articles concerning English learning are written by Chinese students! That is amazingly throught-provoking. I am happen to be an english major also, and I'm fully aware the importance of English to my future -- it is my job, my income and my happiness. LOL. That explains why I come there to type such long passages.

To answer your question, I would say no. Still, reading books and writing logical compositions are still the best approaches to english learning.

By the way, which university are you from, if I may ask?

Yeah if you can get access to the internet then yeh just learning english online is all good.
