25 September Hello!

I decided to come back italki, because my learning English moved to another level.

I have a dream now, I have strong motivation and I beilive it helps me to be a good English speaker. I started my serious preparing 1 month ago. My nearest point to pass IELTS academic in the end of next year. What do I do?

1. I read a book aloud every day, it is fiction, 10-15 pages. Btw, I really noticed how changed my voice, my speed and intonation.( even I'm proud of myself)

2. watching tv-shows everyday. Now it is "Sex in the city" I wathed 3 seasons for 3 weeks without subs. It is not easy, I understand only 50% but I like it anyway.

3. Visiting a conversation club 1-2 times a week. It's the harderst thing in the list of course! If I understand that people around me speaks well, I start nervous, simple words just split out from my mind..It's like a nightmare, when you kinda know, but can't say! Terrible, stupid situation! I hope i will through it soon

4. Studing and completing exercises "Grammar in Use" Murthy.

5. Trying to listen to bbc radio every free minute.

Also I use apps like "ielts vocabulary" and "ielts essays".

Thank you if you read!

Hello!

I decided to come back to italki, because my English has moved to another level.

I have a dream now and a strong motivation that I believe will help me to be a good English speaker. I started seriously preparing 1 month ago. My nearest goal is to pass the IELTS academic exam at the end of next year. What do I do?

1. I read a book aloud every day, it is fiction, 10-15 pages. Btw, I really noticed how changed my voice, my speed and intonation are, and I am even proud of myself.

2. watching TV-shows everyday. Now it is "Sex in the city". I watched 3 seasons for 3 weeks without subs. It was not easy, and I understand only 50% but I like it anyway.

3. Visiting a conversation club 1-2 times a week. It's the harderst thing on my list, of course*! If I understand well those who speak to me*, I start nervous, and simple words just spill from my mind..It's like a nightmare, when you nearly know, but can't say! Terrible, stupid situation! I hope I will overcome it soon.

4. Studying and completing exercises from "Grammar in Use" by Murphy.

5. Trying to listen to BBC radio every free minute.

Also I use apps like "ielts vocabulary" and "ielts essays".

Thank you for reading.

*if I understand you rightly?

very well written, but a little unclear in parts.
