The majority of native English speakers cannot speak any language but their own........ I let that be their own problem, not mine.\n\nI'm Dutch and I'm happy that I learned to speak more than one language.

Here are some tips which may help you to master the English Language!\n\nSpeak without Fear \n\nThe biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do this. The fastest way to learn anything is to do it – again and again until you get it right. Like anything, learning English requires practice. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want. \n\nUse all of your Resources \n\nEven if you study English at a language school it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class. Using as many different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster. There are many different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to only one or two. The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect. \n\nSurround Yourself with English \n\nThe absolute best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English.” . \n\nListen to Native Speakers as Much as Possible \n\nThere are some good English teachers that have had to learn English as a second language before they could teach it. However, there are several reasons why many of the best schools prefer to hire native English speakers. One of the reasons is that native speakers have a natural flow to their speech that students of English should try to imitate. The closer ESL / EFL students can get to this rhythm or flow, the more convincing and comfortable they will become. \n\nWatch English Films and Television \n\nThis is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents. \n\nListen to English Music \n\nMusic can be a very effective method of learning English. In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension. The best way to learn though, is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings. There are several good internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time. And if you like to sing, fine. \n\nStudy As Often As Possible!\n\nOnly by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises, can you really improve your knowledge of any language. \n\nDo Exercises and Take Tests\n\nMany people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun. However, by completing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. One of the best reasons for doing lots of exercises and tests is that they give you a benchmark to compare your future results with. Often, it is by comparing your score on a test you took yesterday with one you took a month or six months ago that you realize just how much you have learned. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing. Start now by doing some of the many exercises and tests on this site, and return in a few days to see what you've learned. Keep doing this and you really will make some progress with English. \n\nRecord Yourself \n\nNobody likes to hear their own voice on tape but like tests, it is good to compare your tapes from time to time. You may be so impressed with the progress you are making that you may not mind the sound of your voice as much. \n\nListen to English \n\nBy this, we mean, speak on the phone or listen to radio broadcasts, audiobooks or CDs i

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

Practice, practice, practice!\n\nEnglish is my second language. I have been speaking fluent English for 7 years now. I am originally from Puerto Rico and it wasn't until I moved to the U.S. and found myself lost because I couldn't communicate that I was forced to learn the language. The more you practice and listen to others speak only in English, the more you will retain and learn it. \nI am now completely fluent and most people wouldn't even guess that English is my second language. ;)

google "ESL" or "English as a Second Language" this will lead you to some great sites that help you to learn English faster... but the best way is to find a native English speaker. You can learn English from him if he is interested in help learning your language.

the simplest way i can say... is to read  newspapers - ..English dailies of course  .\n\nIf u wanna speak good English... start watching the news bulletins. The 24x7 news channels (BBC , NDTV -India etc..) keep repeating the same trash for 3-4 bulletins. Listen carefully to how they speak, and try repeating few lines after them. Well.. if u miss it the first time .. dont worry .. the same bulletin would come up in say half an hour after the first. \n\nu can also check out :\n\nhttp://www.englishforums.com/\nregister over there and chk out the forum's pages. Pretty interesting grammar and vocabulary info given there. \n\nAnd of course.. pick up grammar books for sharpening ur grammar skills .\n\nTalk to people in English (ur friends who speak pretty good English) and insist that they reply in English ..bcos i have seen many who have made attempts to talk in English... but their attempts have been turned - down by their peers.\n\nWell... u might try Enid Blyton's books for a start .. those are books written esp. for kids (don't mistake me but that is THE basic English).\n\nAnd when u feel that ur English has improved.. start reading the novels / literature works etc...\n\nAnd looking at ur question.."how can i learn English?"\nu r not that bad at all.. Trust me.. there are a lot  who make an ass out of this wonderful language.

I think it is very hard to teach english unless you're a teacher. It is not enough to be able to speak it. Foreigners want to know all the grammar and the reasons for it. Not to underestimate you, but I think you would find it a very hard task and the learner wouldn't find it so easy either.

1. Since my early childhood I guess because English is our Second Language. Nowadays, our colleges and universities used English as their medium for teaching, communicate & even for our examinations.\n\n2. In depends on the genre of the movie itself, if it's a simple Hollywood movie such as Princess Diaries, Freaky Friday, Mission Impossible, I can understand them well. But, if it deals with literature such as Pride & Prejudice, I do understand the flow of the story but to understand the whole things, its hard. You need a very hi-level of English, am I right ?. Sorry to say that, even a native speaker couldn't understand them.\n\nIt is much easier for me to understand what American says because we do have a lots of Hollywood movies, so, we getting used of them but when it turns to British English & Australian English, it will be a difficult task. Of course, listening is not only your problem, it is our problem because English is not our first language.
