I suggest that you visit some schools and consult with them. Many will give you a free trial lesson. The courses are naturally designed to suit the needs of Japanese-speakers, so that would be one thing to consider as well. |
as a native English speak who only recently learn just how difficult English really is, I would have to say find a native English speaker and practice on them. If you have a basic fluency in English I would be willing to spend an hour or two with you from time to time to help you with your oral English. I do not understand any Chinese though, and my Japanese isn't proficient enough to hold a conversation with yet.

Training courses are always usefull. Best way to master a language and the deeper understanding is talk, talk and more talk to people and especially natives. :)

In my opinion any class will help. It certainly can't hurt. The best way to learn oral English is to speak it with a native. If you need a native to talk with let me know we'll get in touch somehow.

Whatever the language be sure the practice "buddy" has a neutral accent and an educated knowledge and use of the language or you may be taking one step forward and two steps back. :ywave: |
It all depends. If you really work hard to improve, then you will improve. Many people take language courses, show up once once a week, and don't really learn anything. Others attend the same classes and make good progress. The difference is in how hard they work at it.
If you take a class once or twice a week, and find the time to study on your own at least 20 minutes to 1 hour each day, you will improve. For genuine fluency, you would do better to do a homestay program in an English speaking country. |
I'm sure there a lot of Americans who'd like to help. Do you have a web cam with a microphone? You can talk to people out of country without having to move there, it's great. :D

it's good if you find courses, books, etc. and/or have a fluent english instructor/teacher to teach you, or whether it be a class or a friend online, you can learn english really well.
however, i'm a fluent speaker in english also. if you have msn and wanna voice chat or need help with english, i'll be glad to help you or anyone who needs help with english ~ |
