want to learn english

i've never had a foreign pen pal before :oops:DarkKar

I had one. He called me at six in the damn morning because he didn't know what time it was.

[QUOTE="Matt-4542"] Lol, sometimes I wish I wouldve paid attention more than I did. I paid attention quite literally JUST enough to pass last year and the year before that so I could get my 2 Foreign Lanquage credits.CrimzonTide

Even with the exceptions English is one of the easiest languages to learn. You can very quickly learn enough English so that people can understand you.

I recommend reading alot. Ask in large bookstores for novels that are either in English and French or with difficult vocabulary explained in French. Reading will give you a feel for the language and find stuff that you are interested in like movies and music and actively listen to them!

The hardest part, but also the most important (I am assuming that you are still living in France) is to find native English speakers and to practice. The sooner you start to speak the sooner you will be able to conquer English.

Hey! I speak French!

But anyways, I think you're at the wrong place bud.

but (you're gone?) to england or something to learn english?

otherwise,what's your technic?:P

english was an easy language to learn for me. Now japanese is hard, all the rules are killing me.quocthai

What books are you using? I really recommend the Minna no Nihongo books. They are excellent for practicing grammar and useful vocabulary.

Nice forum,people are simpathics I should have come before.

I'll come here from now,bye bye frenchs forums,I want to progress in english:twisted:

lol

Never ask help with the English language in the internet, you will learn English but without grammer..

I think it is THE hardest one to learn, because every rule is broken at some point in a conversation.

I'm mexican but I was lucky enough to learn it from a very early age (5 or 6 I think), and now you really couldn't tell which one is my native language, I've been complimented on my english level by american, canadian and british people. :D

But anyway, I thought english speakers had a harder time learning spanish?

I also used Rosetta stone for a month, but I think it's useless unless you are living in the country. Trust me, Minna no Nihongo books are relatively new, come with a CD and are also used in universities. You have one book entirely in Japanese and one with explanations and translations.

They are also easy to use. I learned Japanese using German books and even though it wasn't my mother tongue I was able to keep with the others in my class.

No, its like 400 bucks! lol

I think this forum may help me to improve my english level,I must try to write without translate in my head,that's the more difficult thing:D

Watch tv, read a book..Take lessons?

For the moment I just read books to learn the grammar since I already know a lot of vocabulary.

But vocabulary isn't enough,I have to make right sentence...I want to be bilingual.
