I'm a native Spanish (EU) speaker. I love learning English and I'm also learning French. I'd like to meet people who want to learn or practice Spanish or English, and can either speak very good English or are willing and patient enough to speak in French with me. My goal is to find some long term partners to practice every week and are serious about learning a language, be it Spanish or English. I'm very patient and flexible and I'll do my best to help you achieve your goals. But I also enjoy talking to people from all around the world. So if you are tired of being ignored I'll be happy to help you, just send me a message. I'll answer to everyone.

Bonjour ! Tu peux déjà faire des phrases et tu as enrichi ton vocabulaire et conforté les bases de la grammaire. Récemment on a étudié le passé composé et le futur proche. Il faut améliorer la prononciation. Chaque leçon, je vais revenir sur un son en particulier que tu devras pratiquer durant la semaine avec l'audio que j'envoie sur Skype. J'ai déjà envoyé des enregistrements pour que tu puisses pratiquer. Il faut simplement répéter oralement autant que possible. Petit à petit, tu vas améliorer l'oral. C'est une question de pratique et de temps. N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez des questions. Merci, à bientôt! Mick

Très bien, vous progressez vite et votre prononciation est bien meilleure et nous continuerons de l'améliorer encore. Aujourd'hui, nous avons révisé. Vous pouvez pratiquer les exercices et me faire savoir si vous avez des questions. Aussi je vous propose d'écouter le fichier audio et de répéter oralement dès que vous en avez l'occasion. Bonne journée ! Very good, you are improving well and your pronunciation is much better! We will continue to improve it further. Today we made a review. You can practice the exercises and let me know if you have any questions. I recommend that you listen to the audio file and repeat orally as soon as you have the opportunity. Good day !

You are improving well! Patience, there are some sound like AN and ON difficult for you to pronounce but it;s normal, you will be fine, it takes a bit time. It's already much better. In general your pronunciation is getting good and you undertand quite well the vocabulary and grammar. Don't hesitate if you have any question. Bon dimanche !

    Pretty much like Serg, I don't.
    Basically I start remembering a word or expression after coming across it around 5 times in different setups. Once the word or expression appears in active conversation a few times (usually around 3), If I hadn't inferred the meaning of the word by that time, then I'll pull out a dictionary and I'll look it up; then I remember that word much better.
    Of course, if I don't see the word again for a long time I may forget it.

    Indeed, the answer is TPRS Storytelling (storytelling with gestures, drawings and pictures, movements..). In addition to the video already proposed by Serg (an eye opener), search "TPRS" in Youtube and you'll find some TPRS classes.

    (Tongue in cheek)
    That's easy! You select at least one of your parents to be a native English speaker, so when you are born they'll teach you their language.
    Also, you can choose to be born and raised in an English speaking country.

    Now seriously, if you want to improve your pronunciation you can do that, but you'll never get completely rid of your accent if you are already an adult.
    To improve your pronunciation find a very long list of sentences spoken by a native speaker (Youtube is full of that) and exercise yourself by repeating them outloud until you sound as much as posible like the original speaker. Pay special attention to how the speaker joins words when speaking fluently (better choose someone who speaks slowly)
    Then read outloud a couple of really thick books.

    Long answer short: No, it's never the wrong thing to do.
    Really long answer:
    Actually, I'd say that your problem is that you don't insist enough. Research about language learning shows that you need around 25 years to achieve complete mastery of a language (no matter if it is your mother tongue or a second language)

    Don't think you can not learn another language. You've already proven that you can learn a language and speak with full fluency, your own mother language. All of us are born with the innate capability to learn languages, and as many as necessary. Granted, some people may learn much faster than others, but also some people may run much faster than others.

    If you want to really improve you need to stop studying the language and start using the language.
    The best investment you can do in that regard is to get broadband Internet (if you can) so you can access all content in English out there, written and audio-visual. Next, you should read about anything interesting for you ONLY in English, you should watch TV and movies ONLY in English, with subtitles ONLY in English, you should do online courses about matters of your interest in English (but not courses of English), you should listen to the radio ONLY in English, write your opinions and ideas in English, get language partners to speak ONLY in English ... In other words, you need to dive as deep as possible in your target language, you need to be persistent, and you need to be very patient with yourself. In about 5 years time, you'll reach al least a C1 level without even realizing.

    Hi Russell,

    As far as I can see, you have just joined Italky, so it's not a surprise you haven't found any serious partners yet. Enabling messaging through your profile could help you find more partners.

    It took me months and quite a bit of activity to find some reliable partners, most people are looking for something else or are not serious enough, so you are going to need some patience.

    So, by the way, please have a look at my profile and if you think our objectives match, please send me a message through my profile.

    Best regards.

    I'm currently learning French only through TPR Storytelling in the target language (with my language partners and youtube channels), no grammar lessons at all, and it is working beautifully. I've learned already a lot in a couple of months, barely resorting to a dictionary except very occasionally, even though my partners are not language teachers. All that's required is that they do a lot of gesturing and speak slowly enough for me to pick up the different words.

    Going back to your actual question, I've used TV series and movies (with subs) to push my listening competencies from A2/B1 to C1/C2, but I already had a B2 reading acquired mainly through conventional lessons at school. My speaking competency is also around C1 thanks to the TV and movies with self practice like shadowing and repetition.

    Nowadays, I think it would have been much more efficient not to study grammar in my early years at school and instead concentrate in listening and language acquisition through storytelling and TV, delaying speaking and even more grammar until you have gotten a firm grasp of the language.

    The 2nd one is much better. It took me quite a while to understand the first one because of its very unusual structure.
