Good pieces of advice that have been suggested. Ensure you read good books, especially drumbeat and pacesetters series. They aren't beyond you, as some may assume. And secondly, it is important you keep speaking that bad English. If you are ashamed of making mistakes, you won't be good at the language. |

OP I'll only advise you on these few point and pay attention. 1.Mingle with people who speaks good English. 2.Speak English at least few hours a day. 3.Read English articles. 4. Google these things, nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, reflexive verbs, verbs with prepositions. How to construct sentence, relative pronounce, main clause and subordinate clause. Q marks. Etc. It's too much to learn ,especially if you're starting from scratch. You may need a tutor. Many advising you here don't even know the English grammar. |

The best way to learn English is through association with people who speak good english, U can make friends with people who are not from your tribe and who speak correctly and when they speak, you make effort to memorize their sentences, practice them and use it when situation arises. Nb. You have to make frantic efforts to achieve that. |

WILLuKPquiet:Very true.If the op is among those that speak good english,he will change fast though it depend on his intelligence ability(ability to learn very fast).My neighbour brought a young boy of 4 yes with his mother. This boy does not know English one bit.I asked him what is his name,how old he is,questions like that but the boy was just looking at me.I only speaks igbo,his mother will say something in igbo and he will reply in igbo.I went back to sch but to my greatest surprise when i came back 4months later,i notice that this small boy have became very good in English like i now talk to him the way i talk to my youngest sister and i answer me fluently.I am still surprised how he was able to learn English that fast and he still understand igbo language very well. 1 Like |

USarmyID:Lol, you are not providing practical solution, this is theoretical. Tell him to find a friend or two who understand his problem and always engage in conversion with them while they take the responsibility of teaching and correcting his errors immediately. There are a lot of people who can speak fluently but find it difficult to read and write. I am 80% sure that OP is an introvert so if he likes let him read all the books, he will still find it difficult being fluent. If he can "cram" that means he knows what to say but the problem is in bringing it out |

Re: Please Help My English Is Very Bad by malcom1X: 12:12pm On May 26, 2020 |
Takeit2017 I learnt English by listening to the BBC, we have BBC on fm in my state. We didn't have television, so BBC was always on and very clear. Even if I wanted to change channels my mum wouldn't accept. Guy my accent is British accent, people always ask me why do I talk like that, I don't know how to explain. So my advise is listen to radio, podcasts shows etc. |
