I hop you could give us some tips on how we can practice our english. We all know that english is like the general language for all of us. Without this language, it will be hard for all of us to communicate.

The best way to talk to English speaking people. If there aren't many around, read out loud... listen to English news, watch English movies and imitate the way they read... especially the timing and pronounciation. Practice really makes perfect.

Reading English books will also help, especially those that have some dialogue in them? Cause those conversations may help you to acquire English speaking or writing styles.

That's my plan. But I couldn't read it, because I think I'm not that inspired to read.

Have an "ear for language." That's what language pedagogues call people who learn another language easily. Having an ear for language means you have to be sensitive with all the things that encompass a language, namely, sounds, accents, pronunciation and the likes. How do you do it? Listen carefully to native English speakers and observe how they say a word. If you watch English for example, you can turn on the caption or subtitles and read or repeat the lines after they are being spoken. Don't read it at the same time the speaker is speaking it. Another thing is listen to CDs like IELTS practice test. It will help you a lot. Writing is different from speaking in terms of formality. If you want to improve your speaking skill you must put more attention to it. Good luck!

Wow, this is a very nice tip. But I think I've already tried this and I've been watching a lot of English movies and TV series but still I couldn't improve my English speaking skill.

There is no one way of doing this. Language is learnt through constant practice. Don't be shy to use whenever and wherever.

Correct, practice makes us perfect. I don't speak a lot with english speaking people here in our country that's why I'm practicing it through writing.
