Answer 1

I don't know about finding a private tutor but if you contact International House or the British Council and find out when they are offering CELTA courses, you could get free lessons in a class. CELTA is a 4 week course for English language teachers and they have teaching practise every day with classes of students who attend for free. Once you get into this, you might find a few contacts. Also the trainee teachers often have to discuss language learning with individual students as part of their projects - you'd get lots of speaking practice that way and it wouldn't cost you anything.

Answer 2

Not many teachers will come out in this weather, as it is a bit nippy out at the present ocassion

Answer 3

Answer 4

dont know about how you sound but your keyboard skills are just fine!

Answer 5

First of all, your English is much better than you may think.
But if you want to get more practice.. I suggest using www.myhappyplanet.com

I also use www.livemocha.com but Im not sure if they have an English course because the courses are in English. I use this website to learn Spanish, Portugese, and Mandarin. Check and see if they have an English course.

Also the best way is to practice and immerse yourself like you already have. Try to go to any social event you can where you will be around people who speak the native language.

Good luck!

Answer 6

Your English doesn't seem poor to me--I've seen worse from native speakers. It appears to me that what you need now is just more practice, especially with articles. However, could you advertise in the paper? I'd suggest looking for someone who would trade tutoring with you--he helps you improve your English, and you teach him Japanese or tutor him in mathematics or whatever you can do better than he can.

Answer 7

Check phone booths and look for cards stuck on wall saying English lesson ring now!

Answer 8

There must be hundreds of japanese-english language books sold in London. I have lived in London - hundreds of bookshops in London.
We started english in second grade and I've read through all major oxford, cambridge language books + I watch US movies, read magazines, newspapers and use dictioanary if necessary

Answer 9

You'll be there over a year? That's good. Languages really start to take hold in your brain about 6 months into immersion.

Try the local University. (well, one of them. There must be many in London). You could offer an exchange...work with someone who wants to learn/work on Japanese. That way, you not only have a give and take, but you also have an edge on helping each other. If you know what they're trying to get across, you can work from two common languages, instead of struggling as hard to figure out what you're trying to say.

And your written English is FINE. (of course, speaking is much harder to get.)
