I am from kuwait and as I said befor , iam going to study english litrature at the arab open university inshaala .

You are our first poster from Kuwait (that I know of).

(Say: "I am going to study English literature at the Arab open university." (Names of languages are always capitalized.))

Iam looking forward to achieve the succed you have.

Say:

• I am looking forward to achieving the success you have.

but I find it difficult because every body say that you should have to talk to someone who speak english so that you can improve your english speaking Is that true??

• But I don't know if I can, because everybody says that you havce to talk to someone who speaks English to improve your own spoken English. Is that true?

It would help. (If I had had somebody to speak German with I would be fluent in German by now.) But there are audio tapes you can get. And you can watch American and British movies and TV shows.

and if not ...what is the best way to to be fluent in english ...this question also directed to mr.tdol and mr. ronbee. thanks alot for all of you.

There are also websites with where you can get the pronunciation of English words. This site has links to some of them. (Go to the links page.)

(Type a lot as two words.)

In Google, if you type in the name of any song and the word 'lyrics', you will generally get the words straightaway. Type in MP3 and you'll get the song. http://www.kazaagold.com/ is supporsed to be good.;-)

You are welcome.
My English is not that good, but what I have done is that I have started to read all the subjects I like to read about in English rather than Arabic. By this way I learned alot of words in these fields. I like generaly to read in Psychology, History, Poetry; you can read my poem which I posted in this site titeld Ican be that high, and jugde it yourself. You may try to depend on yourself more in reading and believe me this will not just increase your knowledge, but also will correct your language as you read it in its correct form. More than that, try to listen to the English movies, rather than reading the translation.
Ah, one more thing, try not to think in Arabic and then to say it out in English. This will not be good for you. I stopped doing this a very very very long time ago.
Try it and tell be about the result.

Teacher, isn't this sentence possible: "I am looking forward to achieve the success that have."

:lol: I almost forgot to introduce myself here because I've been asking lots of questions since the day I joined this forum. Anyways, I'm RL from the Philippines. I really love this site and I want to say THANKS to our helpful teachers.

I don't think so. You have to use the present participle there. Examples:

• I am looking forward to winning.
  I am looking forward to going to Korea.
  I am looking forward to seeing you.
  I am looking forward to having a good time.

BTW, is that a picture of you? (I second what Francois said. "Cute" is the word.)

:wink:

Hi,

My name is Janne, and I am a 17-year-old boy from Finland. At the moment I am studying at a sixth form college. After I have graduated I will apply for a University.

I like studying languages. I have now studied English for 8 years, German for 6 years and Swedish for 4 years. Everyone must study at least English and Swedish here. Finland is a bilingual country (both Finnish and Swedish are official languages) and that’s why we have to study Swedish. If I could choose, I wouldn´t study Swedish because I consider it a useless language.

I am especially keen on the British culture. British sitcoms are my passion. I also love British music. The Beatles and the Clash are my favourites. Last year I spent a week in England and without a doubt I can tell you it was the best week of my life this far. Of course I like the American culture too; I couldn’t live without the Simpsons or Late Night with Conan O’Brien

I would like to become a teacher some day. I would like to teach English the most, but I think my English is not good enough yet. I have been planning an exchange year though, and a year in the UK/US might improve my English a lot.

I joined this forum to improve my English. I hope I will learn something new here
