Start to Learning English Recently, I start to practicing my speaking about English. Because I think my English still not good, I can write a lot but I can’t speak fluently. These problems make me feel sad and don’t have courage to speak English. And the most terrible thing is I have a serious accent, I can’t tell English clearly or fluently. Sometimes my friends also can’t understand what I said. Then, I have some foreign penpals,we always write letter each other. And one of them, my American friend once told me she want to visit my country in the future. Then she hope I can be her guide. I feel so happy but still think that I can’t do it well by myself. As a result, I start to learning how to speaking clearly and change my serious accent. I hope I can speak well when she visit! I don't want to give up even if it's too difficult to me. Finally, I decide to post a text here everyday, and thank for these people who help me to find mistakes in the text. Have a nice day! Best wishes,Esther

First of all, great job on your entry! There are very few mistakes and most of them are minor!

I corrected the entry to sound natural when speaking. I don't think you should worry about writing perfect grammatically correct entries since you are still learning to speak fluent english. However, a few points on formal writing: generally don't start a sentence with "and" or "because". "Because" can start a sentence but only if it is explaining the reason for something. Example: "Because I work too much, I am tired." (This is okay) (If you are answering, in formal writing, a question "why are you tired?" You can't write "Because I am tired." You have to write out "I am tired because I work too much." But in everyday conversation it is perfectly alright to say "Because I am tired".)

I hope this makes sense to you. If not, feel free to contact me and I'll try to explain as best as I can. I wish you the best of luck in your studies!
