Hello Afaifa,
This is Tom Kane writing. I wanted to take a minute and tell you that I think you're doing a great job in communicating. I was wondering if you have the ability to post a recorded message. I bet you will do better than you think.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Take care now...bye.

Hi Afaifa,
I am trying to give you a recorded message, but there seems to be a problem with the recorder. Don't worry, I will work on it and get one out to you.

Hello,
Good Day1
I'm Odi, I've been a member here since April 2008 but I’ve never posted any messages to your forum because I am not confident in my English whether be it in writing or speaking. I really find it hard to learn the language. I can't even construct a story about myself or start a conversation in English. I am really ashamed of myself. You know if you grew up in a non-English environment, it's very difficult for you to practice it and sometimes it gets you bored. But, I'm still trying my very best and determined to pursue my desire to learn this language. Last year, I enrolled in a private English school and have requested a tutor. You know what, it's a suck for the reason that I don't like the style of their teaching so I quit. That's why resorted to do it on my own. When I'm alone in my room I read out loud as if I am the only one person living in the house. I admit that I am a very slow learner in this language. I think even my grammars that I’m using here, I'm not sure whether it is correct or not. "Please my error is yours to correct". And I don't even know how your website will be a great help for me. Thank you and I hope this would not be my first and last message. Regards and more power to your website. I would appreciate it very much any help you are able to give me. GOD BLESS

Hello Odi,
I wanted to take a minute and say that I think you are being way too hard on yourself. This is Tom Kane writing. I have read your post, and I think you write wonderfully!!! I mean that! I know people here in the States who don't write as well as you do!
If you have a chance, and a microphone available, try to post something to the voice recorder. I suspect that you speak English much better than you think.
I look forward to hearing from you. And...keep it up!
Take care,
Tom :D |

Hello Tom.
Thanks a lot Tom for reading my post and the encouragement, with that, I will definitely strive or work hard to excel the language. As soon as I have the microphone I will record my voice and post it, but Tom, don't expect that I am good in speaking because as what I've said... I'm not that confident.
Regards Tom... and God Bless You always... :) |

Hi Odi,
Thanks for writing back! That's why English-test.net is a great place to be. Everyone has the same goal - to learn English or improve their English.
Odi, as I have told many people, learning English should be a fun thing to do. As soon as you get a microphone, post a message on the forum and I'll respond back.
I enjoy having fun. This is a good place to relax, practice your English and have fun while doing it. Just think of all the people on English-test.net, from all over the world who are doing the same thing.
So...tell me about yourself.
Tom |

Hello Mouhcine,
I think you're also doing well. Here's the funny thing...you guys can speak and write English much better than I can speak your language. Just relax and have fun.
Write me back.
