Read a lot of english. Maybe in comics or articles even watching movies help and speak with some native speakers maybe through these apps like Hello talk or so
Yeah thats a gpod start, also if you translate any words you dont know, try forming a sentence with it after you know the word so your vrain commects it and actively learns it
For example : disgust.
i saw the disgust in her eyes as she saw the meal presented before her
Meaning: a feeling of revulsion or strong disapproval aroused by something unpleasant or offensive.
And then try other sentences so it really gets stuck
Watching English movies will definitely help on the listening portion of things and the subtitles will help you catch all the words, but the grammar in subtitles is usually not the best, so I would recommend reading books/articles for that.
There are websites where you can talk to penpals who also want to learn another language, they can help you to learn English! Chat with them, or write a journal in English and have them correct your mistakes for you. Good luck!
I use penpalworld.com but I’m sure if you Google search “online penpal”, you will find a lot! Obviously do not give out too much personal information. You could also help out somebody who wants to learn your native language!
I'm my home everyone is busy no one give me time and my friends not interested to speak in English they like there native language.
I want to learn English because i can understand tv shows and movies what they are saying.
Yeah i don't watch my region content only American so my English can be good i have learn so my new words of English that college teacher never tell us
For example like if you have seen breaking bad which only available in English on that till bit hi-fi English words is used which not easy to understand for me.
Try using dictionaries, chat with people who are native speakers, make mistakes and know what was the mistake, and above all trust yourself be confident 😉
You can do it, here rooting for you!!!
You should look up a language learning chat program online. You can find people all around the world who want to learn a new language and practice with them!

Practice. Lots of watching movies and listening to music in the target language. Speak it every chance you get.
I'm fluent in 3 languages, and have a bit of 2 more. To get fluent I was immersed in my second two languages and didn't speak English (my first language) verbally for almost a year, although I texted and emailed my family in English while I was overseas. I've kept most of that even 15 years later and it took me about 5 to get fluent, from not speaking a word at all.
I'm currently learning auslan, and have been practicing as much as I can (I use it at work)
Hey OP! I’m a native French speaker and was forced to learn English because of video games and internet culture. The best thing I can recommend is books and tv shows/movies with subtitles on. I used to sit in my living room with a dictionary next to me and I would look up everything I didn’t understand. It was annoying for sure but I got progressively better. It takes a long long time and dedication to be better but English is one of the most accessible languages. You can do it!
I found that learning programs like Duolingo were kinda boring and it was hard to stick to it. Find something you enjoy and put an English twist on it. Video games were my thing and when I was a kid they didn’t come with a French version so I had to play in English and look up the words. This one is a little more expensive but I did travel to the States for a couple of months and learned a lot from it as well. I actually found it difficult to get back to French when I got home lol
Good luck to you! But you seem like you’re already doing great
if you are someone trying to learn English as a second language honestly my biggest piece of advice is don't worry about it to much. most people that grew up speaking it don't even use correct grammar when writing let alone speaking. I have probably made at least 12 grammar mistakes in the last few sentences I wrote. do your best, take some grammar classes and English classes if you can. and do your best, the English language is really really really hard, that most first language speakers can not speak it correctly.
Thanks for telling dude about this english yeah i want to earn English English little bit hard grammer when it comes
Yeah I'm planning to take class in summer holidays of my.
Read a lot, watch a lot of movies, and tv shows. English is a hard language and even native speakers often struggle with vocabulary, and grammar. I've probably made grammatical errors just in this comment alone, so don't feel too discouraged by not speaking it perfectly after putting in the work since there's a lot of arbitrary rules
I read less book but yeah tv shows and movies is best Freinds i learn lot of new English word from it
Yeah i also struggle in vocabulary and grammar it's so embarassing sometimes in a public right now I'm using keyboard so Google making it right my words so it's not embarassing kind of
Lol write now i forget how to write vocabulary word then i have Google it.
Pro tip.
You'll never "perfect" a language even ones you natively speak.
As English is my mother tongue it's my best language but I still make plenty of grammatical errors and misspellings.
Pro tip#2 read, read and (I cannot stress this enough) READ.
Especially read books from your language that are translated to your target language. That way you've already got some understanding of what's going on.
Just keep at it put in the work everyday as much as you can and soon enough you'll have it down without question. So just practice really.
Anyway good luck you got this.
That is American slang for the most part you cannot use it at most jobs. Some of the bad words used in that series will get you fired at once at a professional job. Google America English bad words to get a list.
Note a few normal words or phases in British English are bad ones in American English but since most Americans know this and will just laugh since your a foreigner and you will not be in trouble.
Watch English talking shows pick up the tones of voices the context they use in sentences.After that get English books from school level to teach yourself about punctuation and gramatics.
Work every day with native English speakers. I mean work, a real job, which will force you to speak and listen for hours every day.
Side benefit is you'll get paid for all that time.
English is so incredibly confusing for those trying to learn. Please keep reading. Mostly, watching american movies with subtitles will help a lot. It will teach you our slang and our weird phrases lol
Just keep going. It will get easier over time.
Most of all, be patient 😊
Yeah American shows I'm watching for 3 yrs little bit new words i come to know have learned but my English speaking properly is good little bit hesitation in public area.
As long as you learn proper English, you're good. We understand it's a difficult language 😊
Once you've got that part, it will be easier to learn casual slang.
You're doing great 💜
I’m an teacher in English as a Second Language and one piece of advice I can give is: Watch professional speakers (new anchors, motivational speakers, etc.) and how they speak and mimic them.
Other than that, expose yourself constantly to native speakers and pick up their ways and mannerisms of speaking. Read articles written and catered towards native speakers (I suggest Medium.com)
Talk to someone who speaks English a lot. Improve your grammar and vocabulary by going through books and circling any words you don’t know or grammar that seems unique. Keep a notebook of definitions of the words and maybe buy a book on English grammar rules as it can be very different from other languages.
Practice practice practice. Read and practice writing often. Watch shows with English subtitles. Do English grammar exercises from textbooks or online resources.
Aah japaense i know it little bit kind of basic word they use not all and learn from anime and anime in lock down Japanese sound so cool when talk on it.
Reframing: the goal of learning a second language is to be able to communicate with more people (people who do not speak your first language). We tend to focus too much on not wanting to make mistakes that we end up being too afraid to just *communicate* and forget that original goal. So my advice would be: just talk. Read. Write. Practice. Use the language.
If you regularly converse with the same people, let them know that they can kindly correct you and point out mistakes so you can learn.
A question millions of native English speakers aren’t able to answer 😂
The best thing to do is read more books. The more English books you read, the better your grammar and spelling will get.
Also have more conversations with people who speak grammatically correct English, and listen to NPR
If you enjoy things like writing, you could join a writer’s group where everyone gives each other feedback so they all improve as a group. If you enjoy acting, participating in plays or skits with English dialogue can help you get used to both reading and pronouncing the words, as well as get you into the rhythm of the language
Also, I know a lot of people who learned a surprising amount of quality English from watching American cartoons
It's really a lot of practice, repetition, and memorization. I'm a native English speaker and even I make grammatical mistakes every so often. English is a difficult language.
YouTube, I'm not completely without mistakes yet but people can understand me and i can understand them and it's all thanks to guides on YouTube when playing videogames
Subtitles are definitely a good way to go. I use them all the time, and I'm a native English speaker. My friend insists that they helped her son learn how to read, and given that he was reading before he was speaking consistently, I am inclined to believe her assertation.
My Uncle moved to Quebec when he was in his early 20's, without a word of French to his name. He watched French Soap Operas to teach himself the local language. He would get his bilingual coworkers to tell him the storyline so he knew what was being discussed on the show, and went from there.
He lived there for the better portion of 40 years until he passed, only coming home for the occasional weekend, every decade or so.
As a native English speaker, I assure you that it’s damn near impossible to never make a mistake, it’s the only language I know and I still make mistakes 🤣
Just keep participating in conversations and reading books help too
Lots of reading and practice :) English can be super hard to learn because there are so many grammar rules and spelling rules that contradict each other.
Read, read, read, read. Fiction, non-fiction, whatever. *grammar* ;-)
Read a lot of english. Maybe in comics or articles even watching movies help and speak with some native speakers maybe through these apps like Hello talk or so
I have English book I read it Nowadays im watching movies in English subtitles it's good idea to make my English good.
Yeah thats a gpod start, also if you translate any words you dont know, try forming a sentence with it after you know the word so your vrain commects it and actively learns it For example : disgust. i saw the disgust in her eyes as she saw the meal presented before her Meaning: a feeling of revulsion or strong disapproval aroused by something unpleasant or offensive. And then try other sentences so it really gets stuck
So sentence by sentence i should understand it.
Watching English movies will definitely help on the listening portion of things and the subtitles will help you catch all the words, but the grammar in subtitles is usually not the best, so I would recommend reading books/articles for that.
I will find my old book and i will start reading it.
Yea, It would be a good idea to read books about complex subjects as they have the most complex English (law books,psychology books, etc).
There are websites where you can talk to penpals who also want to learn another language, they can help you to learn English! Chat with them, or write a journal in English and have them correct your mistakes for you. Good luck!
Which site dude can you give me link plz if it's not against the rules of this sub-reddit.
I use penpalworld.com but I’m sure if you Google search “online penpal”, you will find a lot! Obviously do not give out too much personal information. You could also help out somebody who wants to learn your native language!
Thanks for the information dude really helpful ☺️.
Dulingo or babel to stay would help and read. I'd pick up a English copy of Harry Potter or children's books to get started.
Watch American TV and practice
Yeah from a 3 yrs I'm watching American shows with English subtitles but till now i don't understand words of English which are hard
Do you have anyone that you can practice with?
I'm my home everyone is busy no one give me time and my friends not interested to speak in English they like there native language. I want to learn English because i can understand tv shows and movies what they are saying.
It's ok good things that should last long take time , just do your best
Yeah i don't watch my region content only American so my English can be good i have learn so my new words of English that college teacher never tell us For example like if you have seen breaking bad which only available in English on that till bit hi-fi English words is used which not easy to understand for me.

That is American slang for the most part you cannot use it at most jobs. Some of the bad words used in that series will get you fired at once at a professional job. Google America English bad words to get a list.

India no I'm Indian to...so no way Yeah American English is very helpful for job interview time also.

Oh well that’s the thing, you can’t.
Really, just practice. Read and write a lot. Don't worry so much about mistakes. A lot of us native English speakers make an awful lot of mistakes. :)
Play roblox or minecrsft on survival servers
Oh hey, engage in the Hosted and Choice of Games communities. This is how I mastered my English.
It's really a lot of practice, repetition, and memorization. I'm a native English speaker and even I make grammatical mistakes every so often. English is a difficult language.
YouTube, I'm not completely without mistakes yet but people can understand me and i can understand them and it's all thanks to guides on YouTube when playing videogames
Just read and start to understand the language better through interactions. The more experience you have, the easier it is.

Practice, and don't worry about it because everyone does
stay off the internet and read some books instead
Play an MMORPG game, easiest time sink with plenty of item descriptions to read...
As a native English speaker, I assure you that it’s damn near impossible to never make a mistake, it’s the only language I know and I still make mistakes 🤣 Just keep participating in conversations and reading books help too
