Cool English study method
Hey guys,
I'm Ray from Shanghai. I've being trying to study like crazy for many years. My speaking is not yet fluent but I'm getting better. I am always looking for a good study method. I want to make friends all over the world and I hope we can share our ideas for learning. I have a new method that I've been using for the past month and it is really working. I listen on my Ipod to English for about 30 minutes per day. I got the idea from an article I read about how to speak fluent English
The teacher who wrote the article talks about his experience with Asian students and the problems they have. I don't know about other countries in Asia but it is really true for China. My speaking has improved so much I think. My foreign teacher said so. I told her what I'm doing and now she's getting the class to do the same stuff with technology. I hope you find it interesting like me.

Hi Ray. You are right it will improve your English in many different ways. You can always listen to songs and then sing along with them to help with the pronunciation.

HI, welcome to EnglishForward,
Sounds like a good method. I often listen to songs and sing along with the lyrics. This method seems to work good, the article was really inspiring. Nevertheless I prefer free methods. One of the best methods I ever discovered was joining EnglishForward.com , I improved a lot since my joining last year. Another great method is translating the lyrics into yo

Wow, This site is really cool, thanks for the comments guys.
I found it interesting that a few people mentioned singing songs to help. I heard of that before but I never saw anyone with success from it until now. I am going to try it today.

Well, I didn't consider it as a method first. I like to sing along with songs, it's like a hobby. The majority of people sing with their favourite songs I think. After some time I noticed that my pronounciation has improved a lot. Working with the lyrics is a great thing. I don't listen to a song and say: " Wow , this one sounds pretty good", I always have a look at the lyrics to picture the song

rayshanghaiI have a new method that I've been using for the past month and it is really working. I listen on my Ipod to English for about 30 minutes per day.I've been doing the same for about two years and a half now (since I got back from my year in the UK).

Sorry I only know British ones and I do think the best of these is the BBC. There are many but they haven't quite mastered it the way the BBC have. Hope you enjoyed your year here - where were you?

Sorry Alex I would happily converse with you as I know that you are at high level and would like fine tuning rather than teaching! I do have an accent that is Northern. Do you have a web cam, speakers and microphone on your computer? I don't have SYPE so can't just chat that way. If you have the things I listed above then we could help each other as we can chat. I can practice listening for

HI Dave,
that's a great idea!Well, I don't have a web cam, but headset and speakers. I don't want to be taught grammatical things and that stuff. It would be great to improve my spoken english, so fine tuning would be really appreciated.
Yeah I really like plants, but my knowledge about the topic isn't that good, I just like to have a view at wonderful plants and keep the name in min
