How to practice English Well, it's both a notebook entry and a question, really. I used to work in an international context and practiced English almost everyday. But for a few years now, I only use French and I feel like I'm loosing my English. So I was wondering the best way to practice English. Obviously, there's italki ;-) More generally, there's everything on the web. I read books in English, and I watch DVDs in English with English subtitles. My main challenge is practicing spoken English…

How to practice (or practise) English

Well, it's this is both a notebook entry and a question, really. I used to work in an international context and practicedpractised (in most English-speaking countries (including a significant minority in the United States), practise is the verb, and practice is the noun)English almost everyday. But for a few years now, I have only use been using French and I feel like I'm loosing losing my English.

I have the same problem ... There is not a lot of opportunity for me to practise spoken French!

I agree with Olivia. Also, before you can speak English very well, your listening skills need to be top-notch. Do you understand 100% of what you hear on DVDs? If not, first fill in those gaps.

If a Skype chat with a fellow iltalki member is not possible, I think the next best thing is to repeat out loud the dialogues you watch in DVDs or even the dialogue in audio books :D
