Frank Brown Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Read the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare and start talking/writing like that. I promise you'll be an expert soon. You could always just talk to a native English speaker. The best way to learn anything is to throw yourself into a situation where you're forced to. For basic English writing/grammar, maybe take an English class? You're still in school, there's probably some type of class there. If not, maybe try to get your hands on an English textbook. And for vocabularly, just read a word from the dictionary every day and drill it into your head.

Vercetti42 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Read the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare and start talking/writing like that. I promise you'll be an expert soon. I've read it once, when I was a kid. If I remember correctly, it was in my Brother's English textbook, nice play. I have also watched The Merchant of Venice and I did really like the dialogue.

trip Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I don't understand.. Nobody evers. @WinterEdit & 018361: Thank your for your replies. It seems both of you suggest reading books. But I really don't find anything interetsing to read which has more mature use of language. Read some Charles Bukowski if you want more mature use of language and conversational English.

na89340qv0n34b09q340 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Burkowski's a great way to learn the proper use of "f*ck." Here's a lesson about participles. If you use them right more often you'll sound a lot more like a native speaker. (http://www.chompchomp.com/terms/participle.htm) Verbs and tenses look like they're your biggest problems, but not that you're difficult to understand.

_FRANKENSTEIN_ Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 My advice: Think in english, read english books and make some grammar exercises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinette Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Burkowski's a great way to learn the proper use of "f*ck." Ahh, good old Bukowski. My only advice is to immerse yourself. Like any big thing that takes ages to learn and master, it requires full immersion. It's like math; do it enough and become familiar with how to do it the RIGHT way and it becomes as easy as a piece of buzz lightyear cake. As you age you'll find yourself becoming really good at it. It's not until you're 16 or 17 where you really start to dive deep into the language and explore a plethora of words to use that are beyond the typical terms you've been used to during your younger days. You'll become more comfortable speaking and using these words in place of more simple words because it sort of becomes necessary to use them in school and may pop up more in converstations between friends as they discover them too. Same goes for grammar—keep doing it the correct way and slowly push yourself to learning new things. Take it slow though, as you'll have to inspect how something is used properly in different situations.

I'm a fan so it is kind of hard for me to recommend...since I enjoy them all...even the poetry. na89340qv0n34b09q340 1 My crappy games at MyCrappyGames.com Free copy of Save The Puppies and Kittens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. John Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) I liked how his work (Ham On Rye) has the loner protagonist. Makes me feel connected. I will see if they have this book in my local library or somewhere online to read. Thanks for this suggestion, trip.

Mcquiz Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Read books and watch TV shows and films in English, no subtitles. Fortunately, I have watched a lot of Top Gear and read some of Jeremy's books so I don't sound too american. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeafMetal Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 What? lol If this isn't tongue-in-cheek: Play text-heavy, addicting RPGs like the Elder Scrolls series. Play strategy PC games like Total War or Civilization series, read everything there. Keep posting in forums and make sure it's all written correctly. Spell-check it.

Osho Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Reading newspapers, magz and blogs will help you a lot in picking the usage of the most commonly spoken (used) words or idioms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
