Your questions are very intelligent. Why don't you learn sll thing that your teacher has taught you? It seems you are very lazy like me. When I began to learn English, I never learnt vocabulary and after that I had anything to write. Punctuations are not a problem, you should imitate your mother tongue and that's it. Grammatical l mistakes are very difficult to improve. You should learn by heart some rules and their examples.I remember my teacher's joke: 'You should learn all thing I give you and you shouldn't forget them because you take an examination But I can forget them because I don't need to pass exam.' Once, she confused some gramartical notes. she told me like this.To be a teacher, I think she had reason.When I teach a grammar rule, I should prepare a lot of thing such as Formula, real situations, pictures, examples, questions for all kind of students and some guessing answers of students in order to correct them easily in class. Every month ,we should have a conference about the problem we have faced.So ,I have nothing to advise you besides learning, learning and learning. Mistake is OK. After that , you'll have experience and you can avoid itby making more exercises.

Hi BG.

Thse are very good questions. However, they are very, very general. To imporve your writing, you should look at our Writing Forum, where you can post your work and receive suggestions. Online, we can't give you a complete series of personal lessons, but for vocabulary and grammar, we have Forums where you can ask questions about specific words or senttences. I suggest you begin by trying that.

Good luck, Clive

Welcome to the Forums, BuccaneerGenius,

As to your question regarding pronunciation and vocabulary, I know that there are lots of advices you can get from the previous posts, since many has asked the same questions ove and over again. Go to the Audio: Speech and Pronunciation section, and you'll definitely going to find some very helpful advices. (Don't forget to have a look at the links provided in the Free audio and sites above the page.) About vocabulary, there are also some posts here that you can reach by using search option, I guess. My suggestion is to try to use the new vocabs you've learned in 3 sentences. And then review them a week, and a month after you've learned it. This would help you to push the words to the long-time memory part of your brain. Try to read good material on the web. You can try BBC English learning site, I'm sure you can improve your listening skill there as well. BBC's address is provided in the Free audio thread. This is all I can tell you.

And if you continue listening to and readingood material, your sense of correct grammatical use will be improved. However, if you need a good grammar and writing guide, have a look at the following link: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/

Good luck with your study,
