As we know, Communication skill is more important now....especialy in English...so how to improve our english language?For me, my english is so bad...i don't know how to improve...sometimes i just follow the others...but it still not improve...so how????please help me...

it seems to me your english is already very much better than many
practise makes perfect is what they say, so keep up whoever you are following. perhaps a read up on some books might help as well

From your post, I can see that you have a fair command in English, speak to more people who is comfortable to converse in English with you, I learned mine that way. Cheers.

Also, treat your dictionary as your bible.
Easy as ABC
Happy New Year

start watching english tv shows and repeat its dialogs. this is what i did when i'm having a hard time learning/understanding british accent, eventhough i'm already fluent in english. make sure u repeat them, coz it really makes a difference.

Aw, come on. Your English is not that bad. =) Your English is not in desperate need of improvising, though you still need to brush up and polish just a little bit.

I assume you're referring to conversational skills, and not writing skills. The best way to become really good at English, is to speak it often. Like what a previous user suggested, find some friends who are comfortable in speaking English with you, and converse in English!

Don't worry too much about your grammar when you're talking; you'll pick them up and improvise as you go on.

Watching English TV shows/movies, reading English newspapers and listening to English radio stations might help, but don't rely on those entirely. They can be a good place to pick up new vocabulary words, though, especially the newspapers.

The most important [and effective!] way is to get firsthand practice.

Don't expect overnight results though. =P

Best of luck, mmhmm? =)

I find that it really helps alot if you watch an English movie with the english subtitles. From there, you learn new words and the proper way of speaking and proper pronounciation.

Begin by reading english newspapers or if it suits you, read some english comics. Once you get the hang of it, move on by reading novels. Sometimes, listening to song while reading the lyrics also helps. ^^

I learn my mandarin and japanese via those methods. ^^

This thread existed before ...

Should try listening to Scottish or Irish accents

ps. for the laughs, and not to emulate that is...

agree... and must use english as the communicate language...

If you have less motivation to learn yourself by reading and watching materials, go attend some classes. You might feel motivated since you're paying for it.

read, listen n speak...thru these 3 ways u'll b able to master da language in no time...n yea try to avoid rojak/ sms english as often as possible eheh

Try not to be so attached by acronym used in chatting or SMS like c u, u 2, tomolo, good9. When you're too used with it, you may put them in your essay writing.

Just learning from books its not enough...

Just speak english with those english educated friend. As time goes,you can speak kinda well already~

Get more reading material such as newspaper and you will get along with it well...

Seriously, I feel sad for those chinese ed students whom took their Bahasa and English for granted. Even at uni level, they're still struggling.... whats the whole point of going to primary and secondary school..

Ahh... one more.
When you play video games, try not to skip over the plots and dialogues when the game proceeds. There's a lot of new words to be learned. I learnt a lot of vocab during the gameplay.
