Dear Mr Alan,
I'm a teacher of English and now I wonder how I can speak English as a native speaker? At my secondary school in which all students are selected, they are very good at science subjects. However spoken English is not very good. As a teacher of English everyday I just can teach them grammar knowlede mainly. They don't have a chance to communicate with a foreiner, because I think that this is very important for those who want to learn to improve speaking- pnonunciation. Even all the teacheres have never had any chances to come to the places or the surroundings where they can speak English.
Please give me some advice on this.
Thank you very much.

Hi Alan, I got your newsletter today. It's very amusing; I enjoyed the read.

That said, I wonder how many beginning/intermediate ESL students get the humor.

hi!
I'm really over the moon when i read this piece of stuff very interesting and also overriding.It really enhanced my idiomatical expressions because i'm really willing to learn them.We see that english is an international language because many words from many others languages are immersed in english.

My big problem since i started learning this so beautiful language of shakespeare is the listening.I can listen very well what my teacher is saying and it doesn't matter if he is a native speaker or not.But,when there is a tape which is talking i sometimes got confused.Furthermore,the pronounciation is also one of the big problem i'm facing so how to do master it very well ?

I'm a student of english at the british council in my country so i'm so happy to learn to learn english because my aim is to reach the level 8 and tackle the cambridge english proficiency

The newsletter was very good
thanks so much
free rein

Nice... I studied everything at the University, but it wasn't so funny! I also laughed a lot reading the first pages of "Asterix in Britain" when the Romans realize that they can conquer England at five o'clock, because British people are busy in drinking hot water with some milk... (tea didn't exist).
