I would like to suggest you to study Raymond Murphy's intermediate English grammar.The book is published by Cambridge.It's really an excellent book that has helped me a lot. I still feel my knowledge of English needs to be improved.

If you would like to learn English, the only way is to keep on trying! My mother tongue is Spanish and I also had to learn English and know it can be done. While you are busy learning, try other things to earn money, like for example, drawing or doing handwork, or artistic things. My sister also had to learn English and now she is making paintings, which she sells sometimes! Good luck!

Hi Maukhan, I think that you are actually already writing. You may not be writing as well as you want now. But with practice, it will become much easier for you to express yourself in the way that you would like. I highly recommend that you read books on English grammar. Most fluent English speakers get that way by mastering the grammatical rules of the English language. Read the dictionary. You will learn words there which you can use in your writing. And you will also learn how to include these words in sentences. Practice speaking in the English language. Most native English speakers with even half a brain recognize how hard it is to learn another language and are willing to be patient and assist you if you need a little help or extra time to communicate something if you ask for it. Be willing to ask for help when needed and willing to risk... When your speech gets more fluid, when the English flows easier off of your tongue, you will be naturally able to write better... Write for the ear. Yes, spelling is important as is the placement of the words on the page but it is the way something sounds that determines whether or not someone will be able to understand it. Say the words out loud to yourself as you write. If you are uncertain about whether or not the words will be understood by your reader, read the words out loud to others and see what they think. Listen to television and radio stations in the language you wish to write in. See if there are opportunities to write in your native language as sometimes they are out there... And sometimes you can get paid for it, if not here than elsewhere. You are perhaps more fluent than you think you are... I know that I would be doing much worse if I were trying to write in your language. I personally admire your efforts and wish you much success in your writing career.

By joining myLot you made a good decision. Since English is the only language spoken here, it can only improve your skills. In time after reading discussions, responding to discussions and starting a few more of your own it should make learning the language easier for you. However I do know that English is one of the most difficult languages to learn so it will take time. Welcome to myLot and hope you do well here.

hi there maukhan, with regard to your concern, perhaps, dont step too high as of now. hence, try to think that you should need more practice in writing. in this way, you can really hit your aim and earn. sometimes, we should take the first step first before proceeding on the second or higher step. another thing, if you are not yet good in writing, try to focus on other way on how to earn. and perhaps, thru this way, you can generate a fund for you to study english very well. that eventually might help you to be good and fluent in english. thus, dont rush things, like what you have said, that you want to write, maybe you should prepare yourself first in order for you to be a good writer.

The Internet is your source! You can take lessons on the internet learning the english grammar. The good thing is you already have the basic grasp of the English language. Like me. I'm learning how to speak and write Korean over the Internet. I already know basic Korean 'alphabet' or characters. The language is quite tricky. Oh well, it's a work n progress. I wish you luck on your learnin! I'll know you'll make it!

You can start from here, mylotting and be active. Then try writing short article, but of course you should have signed up to any writing site wherein you can published your works. Try Triond, the site won't accept your article if the content does not reach their standard, that way you will know you need more improvement. Good luck to your writing, once a writer will always be a writer. I believed if you really have the passion to write, you can make it...start now and make your dream come true. I just started my writing too, and I never thought I can make it. If I did, why you can't :)

Mylot is a good place to improve your English, like others said! Also, the more you read in English the better, so finding books or pages of your interest can help a lot. If you read a lot about something you are interested in, you will be able to write your articles on that topic soon. At least this is what I'm doing, as I need to improve my English too.

Where are you from? I am also not from an English-speaking country. I am Indonesian. I can`t say my English is 100% perfect despite being an English teacher. I also make mistakes, but that doesn`t stop me from writing..It takes a hard work and process to get money from online writing...but please,don`t give up. Have you ever tried to write for paid-to-write sites?
