About learning English
Hello Everybody. This is my first notebook entry in italki. Sometimes i get/become frustrated about my English level. I tried to improve it but sometimes i had get/become confused about making sentences properly. I memorized vocabulary with examples and reading newspaper, Watching movies, Listening music etc. I found that English has a its own expression it's not the same as my native language so i think i need to know it's its own pattern or style. Many times i get/become confused when i don't find any grammatical rules or may be maybe i don't know about those type of uses. Is their there any better idea or tips? Please share them with me and give me proper guide lines guidelines. My writing skills isn't aren't good. I don't know could if i express my words properly or not. I will be very happy if you teach me or give me few tips for a better approach. Please i beg from you. In Which activities or works will help me most to learn English better?I am not an English teacher, so my corrections may not be the best. But I am a University student whose native language is English, so hopefully my corrections help you.
I think you are doing all of the right things. In my target language (German), I am just as frustrated as you are! I can understand what is being spoken, but I don't have a good command of the language. It just takes time and persistence. Keep making mistakes and then learn from them. I think that's the best that we can do.
You are brilliant!

The reason why my friend, who is a returnee student, can speak English kinda well is because he's been speaking only English when he was in (an English speaking country.) Which country? I understand what you're saying, but if you aren't specific with which country, it should take an indefinite article (a, an).
But the problem for him is that he couldn't get a high scores on the TOEIC or TOEFL or those kinds of tests if he took'em, because not only he's never has he ever (I understand why you wrote it that way because it makes sense as a grammatical short-cut, but it doesn't sound correct to English speakers) studied English, but also a bunch of Japanese people who can speak only their mother tongue are surrounding him here in Japan.
Now, actually he already forgets a lot and can't speak English like before.
In this these cases, I think here in Japan is literally a bad environment for English learners to improve or even keep our ability of speaking up our ability to speak it.
I'm not the man who I'm talking about, but what I wanna say, tell and emphasize as an English learner who is from Japan is that it's too hard for not everyone but at least no one but my friend and me to speak English in Japan everyday.
I need kinda kinda need help..coz actually, everyone else surrounding me's English is twice as good as mine, and my English is what is called "suck"..Fml..but no matter what happens, I'll continue studying like hell in order to catch up with my friend's English, which is could be bad for natives, but it's exactly especially bitch'in for to me..and I gotta get a high score on the TOEFL to be in the United Strats States as a college student from for next year..That's why I need ur helps n yeah, sorry, I forgot to say that I'm a naive JAPANESE speaker.????????
I think I may be able to help the people studying JAPANESE..LOL..Maybe..coz I'm kinda kind of a fool..????LOL
Thanks????LOL Well hey there, I enjoyed reading and correcting your notebook entry! It's clear that you were misspelling some words on purpose, so I just corrected the things that would stand out to me as an English speaker in America. And personally, I think you're doing great! You serve as an inspiration to me because I can't communicate in my target language as well as you can. Pat yourself on the back! Good luck on the TOEFL!

Ich möchte zweimal pro Woche mit Ihnen sprechen. Ich mag nicht, dass wenn ich spreche oder schreibe, und weiß ich nicht ob ich richtiges Deutsch sprechen! Jetzt kann ich wissen weil sie so gesagt kann! (Du kannst auch, bitte!)March 30, 201500
