What do you think about using TED.COM to learn english?
A few days ago, I found wonderful web site, TED.com
There are many videos and scripts for free, which I think is very good speech of famous people.
And their speech influences me to think everything widely.
However I have some troubles in listening clear, I understand it in general meaning or flow but cannot hear detail expression, which is difficult word or long complicated sentesnce...
Now I am good at Reading, Voca, but not good at talking, writing, listening.....
And I can read intermediate articles, little slowly.
Maybe TED is difficult for me, But Free videos and scripts(English and other languages) is great advantages for me.
I hope I can get a piece of advice about it.
Is Ted.com difficult for me? Are there anything free source, whice provides videos and scripts, to learn english?

The TED speakers and the contents of their talks are truly extraordinary. It is a fine site for learning in general. It's value as a teacher of English is only so great as your interest in the topics, however.
Also, vluej, please be patient and wait for your posts to appear instead of making duplicate posts. Thank you.
I think TED itself is a good source to learn English, definitely. Other than that, try watching TV series and english sitcoms (if it's free for you). Highly recommend "The Big Bang Theory" sitcoms. TED shouldn't be too difficult for you though and their content, not only meaningful, it will also helps you to improve your vocabulary and choice of words.
