English is not my first language...I was once in your shoes..but I managed to try my best to improve my english and now I can speak english well...
English IS a difficult language and I'm impressed you're learning it. The reason it's so tough is because there are two very different grammar systems. English in the very beginning was a Germanic language (like German or Dutch). A lot of the "base" words for English like "the," "a," and "that" are part of this grammar system. In 1066 when Normans invaded England they were able to merge their Latin or Romance based grammar system into the language. That's where we get a lot of our words. For instance, "cow" is an Old English word and "beef" comes from the Old French "boef." We use cow to mean the animal and beef for the meat of the animal.
If you want to improve your English, the best thing you can do is watch lots of English and American television shows.
English has more adjectives than any other language, and lots of rules that are meant to be broken at times- so it is complicated! Some ideas to help you become more comfortable with it are: 1. Listen to music in English.
2. Read books in English, even children's books with stories that are already familiar.
3. Find a pen pal and write in English.
4. Use the web to find word puzzles and games in English that you can play while learning.
5. Remember when talking to foreigners that most people realize it is a struggle to learn a new language, and they respect your efforts. So don't be shy- just be patient!
Good luck...all your efforts are worthy if as long as you give your best and work hard!!!!!!!!!

ESL. "English as a Second Language" there are usually free government classes you can take. Also, I know a lot of people in call centers (telephone customer service) that learned English that way. They couldn't speak english until they started working there.

Try an English Speaking CD. If you can listen while you look at the words it will help. If you already speak English and are trying to improve your grammer, there might be a CD for that, too. I don't know.
I mean CD for your computer.

Writers write, readers read. How much time in a typical week are you spending reading, writing, talking, or thinking in English?
