Before, My English skill especially speaking is not good. one day ,I asked a question to my friend work as an interpreter, “ how to improve my spoken English? ”,he said “before make some steps to improve your spoken English ,you must practice your listening skills first ,if there is no difficult for you to understand the words people said ,then spoken became so easy for you!”
I never forgot what he said ,I did it just like he said and make a big improvement in my English study , so there I share my experience in learning English especially listening and speaking .
My resources as followed:
Family Album USA : http://www.rrting.com/English/zbmg/112530/
Desperated House Wife : http://www.verycd.com/topics/25261/
My learning methods :
Watch the Family Album USA every day and make notes , then continue learning six or five days in a week ,and review the courses at Saturday and Sunday.
Download the videos in English and Chinese subtitles, to see one a week ,do not read Chinese subtitles ,only to practice listening.
Next , I will talk something about why I choose the two TV as the resource for learning:
Firstly, two TV shows more clear and pure English pronunciation.
Secondly, Family Album USA has a reasonable curriculum setting ( 25 minutes for one episode), and it's also good for you to In-depth understand the American culture.
The Third point is Desperate house wife is such a funny story that you will not be bored. More important , it give me some suggestions to get along with others.
For the above reasons, I chose them !
So,If you have trouble in speaking English, maybe you can refer to my study, and I hope all of us interested!
