One thing to consider when learning a widely spoken language like English is what you want to use it for. If you want to learn it to speak in a particular part of the world, it may be worth spending a bit of time getting used to the accent and local words used there, perhaps by listening to on-line radio stations from that part of the world.
Coming to a forum like this may also be helpful - a daily conversation would be good practice... although you'd end up with a vocabulary skewed towards Java, work permits, certificates, old films and bald heads.

Mostly what you're writing looks pretty good. There's a couple of errors in the sentences above (it should be "I am not sure" rather then "I don't sure", and perhaps the "firstly" should be at the start of the sentence), but if you can write as much as you have in this thread then you are a long way towards your goal. In fact a lot of English people probably have a poorer quality of written EnglishOriginally posted by rinat akhmadyshin:
I want to learn to make sentences right firstly. I`m writing now, but I`m don`t sure that I`m writing right. (correct me, please).
That's good. Have you ever listened to BBC Radio Four? That may be a good one for practising as it has no music - it is just news reports, some drama, current affairs programmes and so on. Also most of it is in mainstream English without some of the dodgy slang other radio stations will use. (Hmmm, is "dodgy" slang itself?!).Of course I listen to the radio in english, see films, read books, but it is passive perception. I want to be more active.

At the moment I'm also trying to learn another language, and struggling a bit. I think what I really need to do is to spend some time living in the country of the language I'm learning, so that I can be exposed to it as much as possible. I go to classes and listen to radio, but its not enough. But then I'm not a very good linguist - I'm certainly not good enough to participate in a forum in this language!
Urgh, grammar. Very little grammar was taught when I was at school, even in the language lessons. I knew what a verb and an adjective was, but very little else. It never occurred to me that there may be more then one past tense or future tense!Originally posted by rinat akhmadyshin:
I sometimes confuse tenses (Present Continuous and
Present Simple). Also I confuse articles (a, an, the or zero), I know its formal meaning, bun i can`t use its right.
I'm learning Greek. Unfortunately I only get to spend a week or two there each year, so its hard to spend a lot of time surrounded by the language. Its also not as commonly spoken as some other languages like French and Spanish, so its hard to find radio stations and newspapers to read here in the UK. Apart from that, I spend only an hour and a half a week in a lesson, which is not really enough to learn a lot.
What language are you learning? I`m agree, Iive in the country of the language is a good practice.
