I figure the best way is to correct your mistakes:

I am frustrated trying to express myself in English, and I need sincere advice, please. Thanks in advance.

English is not my first language, but I like it because it's a tool to exchange your views, and to gain knowledge about other thoughts and cultures. I think I am failing to use it correctly, and I don't know where the problem is. I think, personally, that I can give better answers to particular questions, but when I attempt to, I feel helpless to express my true meaning. My answers are ignored because no one is able to understand what I'm describing. Mostly, I can't understand some questions, and I don't know why. So, I need your advice because english is your first language. What should I do to improve my grammar, articles, punctuations, idioms/phrases, etc.? What will be most helpful? Please, help.

Hope this helps you out. Don't feel alone though, I sometimes have trouble understanding the questions; and I understand and speak the english language!
That's my two cents for ya.

Your eagerness to learn and understand another language is commendable and I admire your progress so far.....The fact that you want to learn english is a tool in itself, people who really want to achieve something usually manage it due mainly to their enthusiasm.......
Why don't you try listening to BBC radio where english is spoken all the time, that way you will hear the spoken word, how the sentences are made up,correct pronunciation and phrasing.........English is a very powerful language because it has a larger vocabulary than any other language, this is due to the fact that England was invaded so many times over the years by different nationalities such as the Danes and the Romans and French who all left their mark so to speak, consequently English has many words all of slightly different meaning to describe one thing so there is a greater depth of meaning and one can describe exactly what is required.....
I wish you every success in your endevours.

English isn't my first language either so maybe you should try what I did to fully master the complex beauty of this amazingly fascinating language: I went to school and learned it in a classroom with other students!

It was the best way for all of us to learn this beautiful & lively language because we had the wonderful opportunity to interact with one another on a daily basis and we also had the chance to hear something vital first hand (with a little help from our qualified teacher, of course!): the English pronunciation!

If going to school doesn't appeal to you or is something that is not available to you where you live, you could always buy some tapes (or borrow them at your local library) and learn that way at home alone and at your own pace.

What do you think about all this so far?

I must confess that I also learned quite a lot by watching many American TV programs and by watching movies in English at the theater on the week-ends, not to mention writing down on paper endless lyrics from songs I really liked listening to; that helped me tremendously with my spelling, grammar, syntax & vocabulary!

I can see by your question that you need a lot of tutoring but help is at hand so stop worrying so much!

You still have a lot of work ahead of you but don't despair!

Enjoy learning this great language; you will have a lot more fun with it that way, I can promise you that!

Good luck to you & keep working hard!




P.S. Is Arabic your first language, by any chance? Mine's French!

Get a girlfriend that talks a lot. I taught my Mexican ex-husband English because I'm young and I talk too much. There's great softwear for English to buy and if your a private person you may not like this idea but english as a second language courses are offered at community colleges and hey you may met a cute girl studying her GED.

You don't seem to be having any problem describing your question here.
