The first thing you should change is the way you type your texts and spell your words. This might be simple but not easy because it's a habit and habits are difficult to change.

Well, to avoid spelling errors you might want to start using a spell checker. For example, Firefox has an excellent spell checker that is integrated into the program. This means, whenever you type a message you immediately see where you are making spelling mistakes. For example, the word 'grammer' doesn't not exist in English although many people misspell this word. No use asking for advice on how to learn grammar if you can't spell the word 'grammar' correctly.

Another important habit you might want to get into is to google. For example, if you google our forum using the keywords 'improving pronunciation you will find this: http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic32080.html#120011

This short text of yours contains at least 4 very basic spelling/punctuation errors. Can you spot them yourself? That would be an excellent start.

Well, if you want to speak English fluently, you need to start recording voice messages here on the forum. Did you open the link in my previous post?
