why i cannot can't I speak or listen to English well??

i like to watch american tv series; i dont remember how many i have been watched, such as like <the walking dead>,<gossip girl>,<doctor house>,<ugly betty>,<desperated houswives> (a lot of ppl say this one is good for practicing english, coz the leading roles speak standard english n the speed of talking is not too fast very quickly, so, i watched all the seasons of this one)....maybe coz i always watching subtitles n only focus on the plots, my english still has made little no any progress. i go to the english corner (its a place in at school, the students who have interesting in english will meet each other here at regular times, n also have some foreigner teachers here to talk with us), i can talk with my chineses friends in english fluently (i think coz we all speak our english both poorly, n sometimes we'r wrong at the same things, but we dont realize it n keep using the wrong way to talk in english), but i cannot understand the meaning of the foreigner teachers' subject, i always feel they speak too quickly for me, n i cannot catch the step drift of their minds (i also made some jokes coz of this...like one time, the teacher is was talking about how ppl always like to put beautiful pic on their facebook to attract anothers, but they usually look different in real life. i didnt understand what he was talking about before, but i understood about partly, so i laughed, n the teacher point at me n say : look, this girl must have done that did this before.....god knows, i laughed only coz i finally understood what he was talking about.....)

We are in the same situation. I guess there are many people in China like us that have watched lots of US TV series with Chinese subtitles and English subtitles but only focus on the stories. We like watching these series in most of our spare time in the name of learning english with the result that we thought we were learning but in fact there is no difference that we were watching South Korean TV soaps. Ways to learn english on internet show the same way about what Steve said above. I wanted to do as what he said in the past but everytime I started my computer the only thing I wanted to do was watch a new play. ^_^ （shameful！）Maybe one day the drive or the intensity to learn english are enough I will learn it very well. hahaa

Don't be sad or frustrated. I understood everything that you wrote. There are some errors, that is true, but you have communicated your thoughts and feelings -- and that is very good! I think that the best way to improve your speaking and listening is to practice regularly with a native speaker of English. If you can't do it 'face to face' in the same room, you can do it via the internet (using Skype or something like it). Watching TV series is good listening practice. Here is how I practice. 1) Watch the episode -- with subtitles in my language (so I understand the story) 2) Watch it again -- with subtitles in the language I am studying (so if people speak too fast I can also read what they are saying) 3) Watch it again -- with no subtitles (to see how much I understand) Good luck!
