How to learn English? (30/30 Challenge)

[Cristina]

I accept the challenge ,
my first report is from cnn, I listened it yesterday maybe one inconvinient could be that many times it stopped due to the internet traffic....
There was a man mentioning that yesterday a flash of lightning,shred his pants,the video was amazing his pants were plenty with holes but fortunately he said nothing happened to him....only the feeling of fear,and also he mentioned something...that he had to escape crawling....he was transfered to a hospital but thanks god without any severe injury.

The other report was about a group of drug smugglers,and they were mentioning some names I remember one Pacheco,then their plann,the different cities they worked in and a conversation between them,this time I did'nt pay enough attention because was a little bit boring for me,and my little girl was demanding my attention,hehe promise to pay more attention in details in the next report...

Also I listened to some songs,Boulevard of broken dreams-green day

a part of it...
I walk a lonely road,the only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes,but it's only me,and I walk alone
I walk this empty street on the boulevard of broken dreams
when the city sleeps,and I'm the only one,and I walk alone..
I walk alone,I walk alone,......
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me,
my shallow heart's the only thing that's beating,sometimes I wish someone out there will find me,till then I walk alone.....
I walking down the line that divides me somewhere in my mind
on the border line of the edge in where I walk alone
Make me sweet the lines wets what's up and
everything is alright
check my vital signs,and I'm still alive,and I walk alone

I walk this empty street on the boulevard of broken dreams
when the city sleeps,and I'm the only one,and I walk aaaaa

The part in black is the part I,m sure is not correct,pretty difficult to understand for me....Thanks in advance Cris.

Hello,

I found your idea about correction of writing skill verry practical and this is exactly issue I have. I have difficulties with following:
a) make the structure of my messages or text
b) correctly apply necessary eanglish words
c) spelling is not purfect
Could you please clarify for wich of above points you are ready to help and train me. What will be structure of exercises. Or you will just do corrections without advices for improments.

Tnank you in advance,
Leonid

I think the idea is great!Seriously. Although I watch movies in English every day, I began to listen to the radio BBC in the morning ans evening every day in 15 minutes(sometimes even more)! I started on 13, July. So, I'll see in a month!
p.s. please show me mistakes in my post(I know I did them)))

good idea Torsten.

[Alien]

Well, I think it might help! Thanks for the idea! :-) I've downloaded some records from BBC archive and resolved to listen to it every day on my way to uni... It is nearly 2 hours every day!
I wonder what will expire first: my enthusiasm or BBC online archive? But I'll take the challenge!
P.S. sorry for my mistakes..... hope sometimes i'll get rid of them at last...
Alina.

Hi Torsten,

Is this idea still in execution or it’s over?

If this is no more, what’s the latest plan please share the link so that I can join.

Ashvini

Hi everyone,

The 30/30 Challenge is an ongoing activity so it doesn't matter when you start it. Please make sure that you listen to English for at least 30 consecutive days, this means as soon as you don't listen to English on one single day, you have to start to count from day 1 again.

TOEIC listening, question-response: Where do we keep the expense vouchers?

[Ashvini]

Hi Torsten,

Wow! Great…
Thank you for the update.
I am on board. Count #1

All:
I will post my listening experience and progress every day.
Your feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Ashvini
