Hello. My name is Chang, Korean. Now I'm living in North side of Vietnam.
I've been learning English from young. Last year I got a Toiec score at 900 points. But, as you see I'm not good at English. Especially my pronunciation is very poor. I want to upgrade my actual English skill that can be used in life. Talking in English may be the best way to develop English skill. I can not take the chance to talk in English. Let me know how I can practice to speak English.

hi, Chang. Besides talking, you can read more books. It is better to read the book which you love and enjoy instead of text books. My teacher always says that reading is foundation of English. It helps to improve everything your speech, writing, listening etc.

Hello, Chang!

Improved speech frequently results from imitation; and anybody is fortunate to hear only the best examples of speech at home,
at school or in the community.
I was motivated to listen carefully to English news, songs and movies;
and I repeated how they were pronounced. Repeated repetition of correct language forms helps me drop my faulty language habits.
Until now, I do the same.
And I also boost my English with reading, because reading activities make me see how sentences are structured and woven together.
Then, I put it in writing whatever I learned.
When I meet new words and phrases, I look them up in the dictionary.

Regards!
