Hello Torsten,

Thanks for your welcom. It's nice to talk with you. I live in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. I learn English at school and university but i always feel lack of something. Maybe i (and many others) don't have much chance to practise E with foreigners in daily life. Therefore, my reaction is quite slow and my vocab is rather poor. I happened to find this website and i'm really attracted. Here i can talk and learn many things from all of you. Besides, it's great to have international friends. I find the life here very interesting. I will try to know more.

Hope to see you again,
Rose

Hi Rose,

I am wondering why do you think that you are not good at English? You are expressing yourself in a very deft way.

Well, in order to improve your vocabulary simply learn new words every day and not just find out their meanings but also use them in your own sentences and see whether a word fits properly in a sentence or not. That way your progress will be amazing!

Also note that a word can be used in more than a way. So, always remeber what type of the parts of speach you are going to apply to a particular word in your sentence.

I will write you more on Monday because on this Saturday and Sunday I shall have my holidays.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Yours friend,
Gopal.

Hi Gopal,

It's true to say that i'm not very good at English. Hmmmm, Gopal, can you help me? I'm not very confident about myself. I often feel worse than others. I know you will think it's too terrible. However, maybe it helps me in someway as it makes me try to do my best.

Thank you for your advise. Can you tell me in more details about learning vocab? You devide it into topics or choose some in random? Gopal, it's bad to hear that i can not hear from you next 2 days. And i myself also have a plan. I'll come to my countryside for my grandmother's year's mind. So hope to see you on Monday.

Your friend,
Rose

Dear torson,

Thanks for the reply. Daily I read news paper, watch english news channels and some I used to practice in the net. Most of the time I try to learn english only except one thing i.e., practicing passages. I get struct in writing lengthy passages. I am in a confusion that how should I prepare a schedule to learn english better.

Hi Rose!

I just replied you but I see that my reply here is not appearing. So, let me take one more cup of coffee.

Well, I am wondering why do you think that your English is not so good You know, you express yourself in such a deft way that I like it very much.

Well, in order to improve your vocabulary learn new words every day and use them in your own sentences. That way you will get to know how words are used in different ways and properly. You know, there are eight types of words which are called Parts of Speech. So, you should be careful when you are using a word as to what type of parts of speech that word belongs to. It is also important to know that a word can be used as different types of the parts of speech and also with different meanings.

So, just keep your practice on by speaking, writing and thinking in English as much as you can in your day to day life.

O! Now I must go back. Take care and good night!

Yours friend,
Gopal.

Hahah!!! I am laughing again because I just retyped what I wanted to tell you. And now my post is here on this page. But I am going now...

O! With a smile! So you too smile and don't be sad as after 2 days we'll be talking again!

Yours friend,
Gopal.

Dear Torson,

Usually I used to watch some pictures from HBO and Star movies and Daily news in NDTV. I dont have DVD's with me, I store movies in my sytem only. yes, I have difficulty in writing english. You said I need to copy sentences out of articles or books, I will do that. but in my view unless until we practice it, we cannot perfect in english. So please give some simple topics to me then it would be better choice for me to improve my skills in english. One thing I forgot i.e., I am poor in vocabulary also and can you suggest me in what way I can do better.

waiting for the reply

[Chandu_Ballepu]
