Hi, I am from Uzbekistan and I feel that my English is not so good. Basially, I study at English School, but with friends we mostly speak in Uzbek, pitifully not English. We speak English only in classess, because of bad English skills, it is difficult to me to write essays. My vocabulary is very weak, I do not know what words to learn.\nPlease, suggest some sollutions....

The Internet is fantastic resource and I recommend using it to your fullest advantage.  Perhaps a place to start is everyday conversations with your friends and translating those to English.  Use resources such as on-line dictionaries and thesaurus' to look up words.  When it comes to writing essays, use the Internet to your advantage - there are a number of universities such as the University of Wisconsin-Madison writing center (see link) that give tips for improving your writing.  Unfortunately, writing isn't something that one becomes good at overnight - it took me 16 years to fully appreciate English and use it correctly.  Patience, and in time you can do just as well as other students - just practice and keep high spirits.  You are on the right path and asking the right questions, don't stop now.

I'm not sure what your exposure to English is, but if the way your question has been asked is any indication of your English writing skills as a whole, then: \n\nToo add to what the others say, if you are trying to get a job in the U.S.:  Make sure that at least your written English is clear and articulate.  For example, use complete sentences and proper punctuation.  I've tossed quite a few resumes that were full of grammatical errors (from native-born americans, no less!)

The first thing you should do is to write proper English. If you write things this poorly, every one will reject you outright.\nThe next thing to do is to go to a library and look up scholarships. It sound simplistic but you apply for every thing you can and do it for several months if not years. Sooner or later some scholarships will come in. \nWhile this is all going on, you must be willing to work in the lowest of low jobs and put up with hardship while showing great dedication to getting an education.

Start by taking English classes.  I am not being mean, just pointing out that it is difficult to understand you.  It will help if you can speak the language.

The only thing I can suggest is trying to find some people to talk to often in English that aren't other Indian people. Go to stores and restaurants and spend whatever time you can talking to people without looking too crazy. If you can meet someone that is a native speaker and become friends, that's the best option.

Try getting a pen pal to write back and forth with who has excellent writing skills and can correct your mistakes.  Practice will make it better. \n\nFor example, when you use "I" always capitalize.  Here is your question written properly. \n\nHow can I improve my English writing expression?\n\nI'm from the Middle East and I want a way to improve my English as most of the references I work with are written in English.  I can read English very well, but how can I improve my writing?\n\nGood luck!

Just start talking to people. Americans love helping out. Your written English is very good. Find a friendly girl in one of your classes and ask her to PLEASE correct you if you say something wrong in English. Also avoid hanging out with people that only speak French/Arabic. That way you will improve quickly. Also read as much English as you can and listen to the radio. You could also let your parent's know that you would like to watch TV in English to improve your language skills.

No, if English is your second language, your grammar and spelling tends to be superior to those that speak it as their first language. I'm Russian, yet I used to have American kids ask me for help on their English.

First of all, make sure that she speaks english as much as possible.  You might want to look into hiring a tutor.  I would ask around at colleges, and find someone who is either studying education or english, as they might be willing to tutor for less than someone who is already a professional.  It might also be useful to have her read a lot of books (just try and pick ones that don't use too much slang or old english), since this can often help people recognize better how to put sentences together.\n\nYou also might want ot see if there are any English as a Second Language classes being offered where she lives.

I totally agree with you about this.  Unfortunately (or not, depending on your stance) for me I was taught in a Grammar school in the early sixties.  We had the most wonderful English teacher who taught us, with great enthusiasm for the subject, the whole gamut of English Grammar.  One of her favourite sayings was, "There's no such thing as nice!! Nice doesn't mean anything, do not use the word."\n\nShe also objected to the phrase 'All of a sudden' because there is no such thing as a sudden!  Little things like that, from a teacher one likes, tend to stick and, having reached 'A' Grade in my English Language 'O' Level (the only 'A' I got!) I have found that I have become pedantic and niggly about the way English is now spoken and spelt.\n\nI am afraid I also have the unfortunate habit of labelling people who cannot spell as merely lazy!  I know this is probably a bit extreme and does not apply in some cases, but I can't help feeling this way.\n\nI correct announcers on television and radio, and sometimes find myself correcting people with whom I am having a conversation.  I have corrected and sent back Mail shots received, and please don't start me off on the aberrant apostrophe!!!\n\nI am sure the English language is fading away and in time all so-called English speaking people will be speaking a sort of mid-Atlantic shorthand. I find it sad that people cannot be bothered to try to speak and write correctly, particularly when small, ancient languages, such as Welsh and Gaelic, are bouyant and well practised through the genuine love of their people for their language.\n\nSorry to go on but this is rather a flag-waver for me and I find it difficult to stop, once started.

I'm amazed of the lack of education or the lack of quality of education many of these people have...Next question for yahoo should be...pick the sentence that is correct..."I speak english well" or "i speak a good english" I can only imagine what answer people will choose

Hi there, \n\nIf not English, there must atleast be a common language which both of you can understand so that you can communicate. And I don't think your English is that bad, considering from the way you type. You are much better than the 'English Speaking' people here. But yes, speaking English is definitely an advantage if you want to make friends with someone, because English is universally accepted and many people in this world are aquainted with English language. \n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

You are studying English? Too funny. If you improve greatly, maybe you could teach it or work for a publisher of books or magazines. You might be able to get a job as an editor. But you need much more hard work and study before you are ready for any of that.
