best way is copycat..
serious

i have no problem since its the only language i know but when i was in uni in the uk and usually thats what i told all the ppl from china.. and it works with practise
just choose somebody who is fluent in english ..not ure friend persay cause he will be pissed off..

then just copy his mannerism etc.. that way u'd correct ure grammer without even reliasing. then just keep talking... but mind u... ure going to be in trouble when it comes to writing which pisses me off when i see ppl cant rite a proper sentence.. .here forgivable as we are writing whatever comes to our mind but at WORK....like official letters...sishh.

No offence dude but how can you teach someone to be a copycat. No wonder you're writting terrible English. I am also not very good at English but I know the only way for me to improve is through hardwork and not through cheating.

The only way to improve your English is through reading. There is no shortcut. In fact there is no other way. Start by reading simple books or newspaper. Books for children such as Harry Potter, Narnia or any books by Enid Blyton are the best choice to improve your grammar and sentence construction. I know some people will feel embarassed by reading books for children but it is better now then regret latter when you have difficulty getting a job. A lot of Malaysian graduates are unemployed because of their poor command in English.

My advice to you is to always practice what you learn. Always write a full sentence. Make your sentences simple and easy to understand. No need to write fancy words. Think in English and not in Chinese. Don't try to translate from Chinese to English. Another advice is don't write "sms" type of English. My boss who is very good in English is extremely particular about this because she feels "sms" English is the root of all the problems.
