    Hey Everybody,

    Here are my thoughts about Listening, and Speaking.

    These Two are the basis of communication. Most have goals to communicate in their target language, and communication most times is speaking and understanding what is spoken.

    LISTENING- There are many ways to increase your listening skills. Such as, podcasts, movies, youtube, music, ect. I do not ever discourage these methods, because they do really help!

    Here is a suggestion: If you are going to watch a movie for learning purposes, watch a show made for children. Shows made for children use the basic form of English, and is extremely clear, and pretty slow.

    If you want to listen to music for English learning, try music that is softer, with less instrument interference (Folk, Contemporary Christian, a cappella).

    SPEAKING: You have to speak what you know.

    Talking to myself in the mirror, or on the street, or in the car has increase my capability to speak Spanish with real people, in real time without pausing. We don't always have time to have classes with native speakers, or language partners, but with the combination of what i stated in the "LISTENING" section combined with repeating what you hear from those options, you will see your target language improve.

    All these suggestions are if you do not have the opportunity to speak with native speakers.

    If you have the opportunity to use these methods along with real interaction with native speakers, that is the best!

    Dr. Mahrous Ayman,

    How long have you been learning English? And how often do you use English in your day?

    Sujin,

    Thanks for commenting! You are absolutely right in regard to writing.

    Naturally when a child learns their native language the acquire the understanding and speaking without any problem. But when they enter school, thats where the skills of reading and writing are focussed on.

    I would describe writing as an art actually, because you get to control how the reader reads your writing. If you go look on a news page, maybe USA Today or something similar. Read a few articles and notice how each author writes properly, but with their own voice and style.

    A suggestion I would have for you, is to read an article (daily) and copy (write) a paragraph of that article on your own piece of paper. Anything published will be grammatically correct, and by the repetition of reading and writing the professional content you will pick up the same skills.

    Adriana, great!

    Knowing the rules of grammar is excellent, but what causes you to fear a native speaker?

    Hi people, I hope that you can answer, I want some corrections, and to add some friends. I don't use google translate, because I think it is incorrect to use a app to improve my English. Yesterday I went with some friends to listen to a concert in a club. In the club were singing some international people, who were from Japan; they sang in English. They play music very well, and their voices were very beautiful.

    My last post on italki.

    I would like to thank all the friends and teachers who have helped me to correct my texts, and supported me in learning of language language learning. I tried to be you write with about something useful, and I laid wrote posts about my life out in the countryside out. Sometimes my posts were simply for learning a language and didn't have a deep content. But all the people there  is  are just here for to learn languages;)
    Today, I come came back to my city, and I start my urban life. It's not as interesting as hiking, and it's not bringing much experience. Just... Work - Home - Work :(
    I wish you all good luck, and implement all of your good wishes into (in) reality. Special thanks I would like to express for Christine and Tatiana. They are really nice people, and helped me a lot in English.
    P.S.: On the picture. I bid farewell to (with) my wild friend:)


    Hey Good job.  I am exciting to read your posts about your new urban life! :)

    Writing about the futrue future

    I think it is a difficult task to write about the future, because no-one can really know what the future will be like. Some people try: especially scientists, politicians, economist and all kinds of fortune-tellers for very different reasons. As far it concerns me, I see the future neither optimistic nor pessimistic. Every pro has a con, hasn't it? For example technological progress had and still has a big influence to our lives. Although the lives of the privileged have become more and more convenient, not everyone profits from technical achievements. In particular, people don't in the third world.


    Nearly Perfect! :) Great job!

    Rogue One

    Today I went to the cinema to watch Rogue One. It's hard to say something anything about the movie without spoiling it. So, I would just like to say that I liked it a bit.

    In fact, I'm somewhat tired of the franchise. It's so extensive, and I think they it should have an end. Anyway, for those who knows the other films, I think you'll like this. For the others, it's a waste of time... :-)


    Hey great job! That was a very opinionated movie review, and you convinced me not to see it! (wasn't going to anyways) :) Haha
