the way i see it.. speaking average english is okey samot na if makasabot ka.. ang impt if u have that passion and dedication to excell in your chosen profession everything would follow..

[amico]

ah, yes, i will also want english to be my speaking language here so i will also know how to english.

sa bisaya:

aw, o ako pud gusto ko na english ako sinultian diri para mahibao pud ko mag-ininglis.

[Pinkdimensions]

well.. mix and match for a start would be good.. ayaw sa pag TH.. it wont do any good bro..

reading english books and watching english flicks really helps.. listen to recordings and learn the accent.. if you encounter new words, look up for the meaning to widen your vocabulary... get back to the basis (7 parts of speech) and master Verb, very impt... (tenses,etc).. above all PRACTICE.. PRACTICE makes it perfect!!!

[color=navy]Ayaw pagdali-dali. You can take your time as long as you need it. What you want to achieve first is to form complete thoughts correctly in English. So please just be patient with yourself, and persevere. You can take your time in thinking your ideas through as you write these ideas down in English.

And yes, it is important to review what you wrote down. This is a way to remember and improve your manner in thinking in English.

What you want to do is to think in English correctly, this can be achieved when you write down in English then review what you wrote to make sure everything is right. It's the same process done as with writing, memorizing then delivering a good speech.

@diem - should i study first nouns then second step would be pronouns and so on and so forth?

I suggest that you review the simple grammar rules and the right way to form sentences.

It is not really important how large your vocabulary is or how many English words you know, what really matters at present is you know how to use the words that you know properly in sentences to deliver what you really want to say in English.

Simple is always best. It is much better if you can deliver your thoughts directly, clearly and simply in English. It can be easily understood that way.

For example, the sentence that you shared.

should i study first nouns then second step would be pronouns and so on and so forth?

This sentence is correct in a way, but I feel it can be better if it were written simply like this:

Should I study nouns first, then pronouns? or much more simpler/better, Should I study nouns, first?

Simple and direct, the sentence looks neater and it gives a clear idea.

Simple is best. It is not how many words you know, it is how well you use the words. Not the number but the manner that matters.

Here are some writing exercises that I would like to suggest to you, and anyone else, to try.

1. Write simple English sentences, following the basic grammar rules.

One thought/idea = One sentence. Please do not put two or more thoughts in one sentence.
One thought/idea = One sentence.

2. If you cannot do, then copy.

Following the example of others is one way to learn. So I suggest you get your favorite English book and copy it page by page, word by word, to a notebook. Make sure you copy it verbatim with all the punctuation marks, capitalization et cetera et cetera.

If you do not have a book I suggest you purchase one from Booksale or RSO. I would recommend the authors Danielle Steele and Jude Deveraux, though these books are romantic in genre-- these two popular writers know how to write English well.

If you find the book challenge too long, then please try to copy word by word an article from your favorite magazine (FHM, Maxim, Mega, Manual, Cosmo).

The idea is if you copy an article or book in English, word by word, you are absorbing the correct way of writing in English. And if you do it consistently, writing in good English will help you think in good English and soon you will be speaking in good English.

Sincerely wishing you the best in your efforts.

First Advice: Never use "English Spoken People".

Here are two of the possible interview questions:

1. Tell me something about yourself.
2. Why are you interested in working with (name of the company)?

I'll let the other istoryans give you the rest.

Goodluck!
