Hello there. Yes watching American movies is a good way of learning how to speak English well. You will be able to adapt the way they speak though. But the thing is, how are you going to respond and how will you be able to know what you have said is right. You have to record your voice and read out loud one paragraph in an English Newspaper or a magazine then listen to your recordings. You will know then the things you should improve. You should also be able to speak in a very smooth manner and not enunciate the words in a syllabic manner (which is the chinese way of speaking their words) You also have to think in English. If you formulate your words in English then you will be able to speak English well too. Good Luck!

Well, English is full of Grammar.... I have been struggling with the grammar to make my tone perfect over the past 12 years in school and when i finished my school, i really made some attempts to improve the quality of speaking without errors!! First thing is that u should learn Grammar, the perfect place where u have to use the word.. Well, u could try by reading some English Magazines and Newspapers.. U could shift to Fictions and Novels.. Try to see news channels .. Try seeing english TV series rather than movies, because u would get some live speech in TV series.. I'm still a no-perfect speaker.. I have been improving my skills daily!!!

You can enroll at training school that teaches English proficiency. It is not easy to learn English by ourselves alone or from watching movies or thru internet. The American English is not just about hearing the words or practicing the way American speak but also we need to learn the right construction of sentences or the correct Grammar and pronunciation of each words. I advice you to have a proper study at training school. Have a good day always and welcome to mylot.

hi,i think the most important thing for learning English is never giving up and hardworking! Then methods also play a main role while you are learning English! There are four parts if you want to learn English :listening ,reading ,writting and oral. About listening,my suggestion is to watch TV-series , moives or the news! About reading,my suggestion is to go to some website which is full of knowledge ,such as www.nature.com . About writting,you are doing now!Just come here for practising! About oral,you can get to know some new friends on the internet and then talk with them! That's all!Good luck!

Well from my experience i would say that reading fiction novels is a very good way to study English, Specially when you are stuck at a word which without knowing you cannot move forward in the story..that's the best thing about novels..you learn as you experience the thrills of the story..

I think the best way to learn English is to listen more, read more and speak more. You may not have the English environment around you, but you can immerse yourself into it. Speak, think as an English native people. That's what I'm working for. Best wishes for you and me.:)
