What causes you the most problems? #1 (permalink) Fri Apr 10, 2009 15:59 pm   What causes you the most problems?
 

What is the greatest difficulty you encounter in your English learning programme.?

Is it pronunciation, spelling, reading or writing.?

Pronunciation problems can be easily remedied if you were to make a voice recording, so that we are able to highlight your faults, and hopefully help you to overcome them.

The other three are just as easy, because in Alan's articles you will find all that you need to overcome all of these difficulties. However, if you can't, simply post the source of your difficulty.

The Forum does everything possible to help you, but we MUST have feed-back from YOU if we are to provide an even better service.

PLEASE, don't be afraid to ask any of the resident Moderators, or myself, about anything that is bothering you. How are we to help you if you don't highlight your problems.?

Kitosdad.

Hello Mr. Kitosdad..

As to me my current pronunciation is not bad, but I'm not worried about the future of my pronunciation, because I think I have the feature of imitation.. but i'm worried about how much time do I need to have more vocabulary and use them correctly. how much time do I need to improve my listening to understand native speaker or unnative speaker when he/she speaks English .
now let me tell you the greatest difficulty that I'm facing in learning English..

it is :

I'm really suffering from that problem.

Thank you for wonderful topics.

Jam.

My biggest problem is that over the day I have no access to the Internet, and when I come home I have forgotten what I wanted to ask. :cry:

Jam, I can hear a slight trace of surrender coming into your mind.

Don't you dare.!!! You have came so far, and think back to how little you did know a year ago.

Jam, if it was easy, then I would be able to speak and understand fluent German, but I can't, because it isn't easy.

You are doing great. I just wish I was there to give you a little shake.!! Don't despair.

Forget the difficult grammar. That will fall into place as you listen and read more. Don't try to cram everything into your head in one sitting. Read a paragraph from a book, and go over it several times until it sinks in. If it is difficult, then find a paragraph that is easier to understand. Try to memorise it, and repeat it to yourself during your work.

Please keep us informed of your progress, preferably on a weekly basis.

Send me a weekly PM if you wish, but DO NOT GIVE UP.!!!

Your friend, Kitosdad.

Dear Kitosdad..

Please it is disturbing my mind for a long time..

Sahid, I'm sorry for the late reply. Well, I've said it before, and I don't mind repeating it,

" I just love your accents ". All of them. And I would discourage you from losing them.

They are part of the real and original YOU. What is important, is the fact that people understand what you are saying.

Accents are the very essence of your nationality. They make you sound interesting and somewhat romantic. How many men tried to sound like Charles Boyer in the past.? :) :)

No Sahid, you keep your accent. Concentrate on being as clear as you can possibly be when speaking, and you will be well received in Britain.

ps. How many Americans can sound British.?

Do not worry about your accent, from what I've heard you are good to understand. An accent is a very personal part of ourselves, it's unique to everyone of us.

I'm very proud of mine, because it represents me and I know that people are able to understand me.

As to Jamie (K), who wants to sound like he is speaking with a mouth full of hot potatoes? I don't. :lol:
