on a more serious note, try watching movies (particulary) British movies with sub titles on them. I'm not sure if cable tv i.e. multi choice has subtitle options but sub titles do help you understand English language. |

1. stop watching nigerian movies 2. stop all forms of brokenn english 3. read foreign novels 4. listen to foreign radio programs , eg bbc world service,voa, o' reilly factor 5 watch foreign tv shows,, cnn,fox,sky news and above all , speak in english, i'll give u an exaample During my first senior year in secondary schooll in nigeria, I had a classmate , DEmi. Demi was terrible at putting sentences together. He couldnt even speak for 10 seconds without eliciting laughter from people, Guess what he did? He started askingg questions duringg lectures,fellowships,student meetings wiithout minding or fearing whatt people had to say about him.People laughed at him sometimes but it just didnt not bother him a bit.Teachers aand fellow students corrected him and he always took to correction DEmi begged his waay into rep. the class during iinter-class debates(other class members didntt want to facce the whole school, 4000 folks looking u, ,thats scary for a typical ss1 student).ss1C student could hardly watch Demii speak, iu ever had your heart beat so fast when someone uu know is giving a speak on stage? Demi improved and RIGHT there before our very eyes , started representing the school by the time he got too ss2.His english improved so much to the extent that other students felt inferor when speaking to him.His confidence grew more and more as he won more prices for the school(literary and debating society, folks that finished from the public schooll sys in ng understand). He was made a prefect in his final year. He just changed in every aspect.His grades changed, his attitude changed, hope my little storyy motivates u |

The basic/foundation of English language is parts of speech.Out of the parts of speech,the basic of it is the VERB that talks about the present tense,past tense,past participle.I am going to Lagos I will go to Lagos tommorrow I went to Lagos Yesterday. Use simple English in your conversation,read good novels,listen to good english speakers,don't be shy always ask the person that u know will not make a jest of u questions how he changes his/her verb at a point in time like those examples I cited above.Then practice by speaking, u can speak those new words to urself at the corner of ur room as if u are preaching that will give u boldness to want to speak in the public. |

Bro,you have gotten it wrong..English language is a 'must do' and a 'must learn' skill everybody is entitle to have..,be you an Engineer,doctor or even a farmer..you need a good communicating skill so you can go broad in all your welfare,you should not limit your self because 'English language' is not your course of study in the university..I my self as science student and an electrical engineer by profession knows what I have encountered during the past year of having this same mentality you have..but I thank God now for revealing the truth to me in which am doing the same to you now..Rethink bro..have a nice day |
