Hello every body this question goes to all teachers and English language experts here.
I am English language learner since 2 years, I have studied in three English institutes, I can understand 50% of what has been said in CNN TV and BBC TV and NPR (National Public Radio) but not all of what they are saying. I think I am upper intermediate level.
I am living in Saudi Arabia, which there are few native English speakers it is hardly to find them easily.
My question is what is the best I want to improve my English speaking; I want to be fluent English speaker? How can I achieve this goal? What is the best ways? What do you recommend?
I really need your suggestions my friends.
I highly appreciate every single advice.
Yours truly
Saudi
