    Hi caps,

    Honestly, the best way to become fluent in English, aside from living in an English speaking environment, is to use it as often as possible, and to expose yourself to authentic English materials. Read English news websites and books, listen to English news, and watch English television. If you can find an English-speaking friend, that would likely be a big help as well.

    Thank you for watching.

      Hi Sir
      I just want to confirm what you said recently in your answer to Caps.Before I came in US I didn’t have friends I could speak English fluently with,but since I Have got into US,I speak it everywhere and I read and I listen only the programs in English.That helps me to improve my English really fast.

I got 5 correct answers! It means that your explanations were good and understandable! I have some ideas about the topic for your future lesson. Can it be about some phrasal verbs and their meanings? I know that phrasal verbs take an important part in daily conversations in English and in American – English. Thank you!

Hi Alex.

I didn´t understand the idiom “blue in the face” very well. Thank you!.

Wednesday, August 5th 2009

    Hi Sir
    BLUE IN THE FACE means for example you talk to a person until you get tired and sick trying to convence him/her but you never succeed
