Speech & Pronunciation
I want to be accurate and fluent in English
hello friends
I have been learning english for 7 years, but sometimes I feel that i'm wasting my time because when I'm talking to others i commit so many mistakes and I think the reason of that is thinking on my mother tongue and speaking in English(mother tongue interference).
my question is
how can I be as accurate as possible?
and how can I enlarge my vocabulary?
thanks in advace

Hi Your problem is a common one - it's always so difficult to improve even further when you have reached a certain level - and people forget to correct you as well when you are speaking! The best thing is to listen to Radio 4 (for pronunciation and listening to clear speech) and BBC Radio 1 (for faster speaking and more colloquial language). In addition, you should try to read as much as possible for vocabulary - Penguin Reader books are really good, or simply the newspaper (I recommend The Guardian).
