Hi to you
I believe that the best way to learn English is to read a lot, but I not do that (this is why my English like a shit).

hey
Ron, girl 17 , Canada. Except for the fact that English is a great language, I am learnt it in my high school, mostly. I was in a regular program when i first got here, so I had to learn english really fast to keep up with school work. Boy, that was hard work! but it was for the best, I finished school successfully
. IMHO, the best way to learn english in israel is by speaking in front of the mirror , writing down words you don;t know, practicing with someon that has a better english, and watching DVD's and such w/o subtitles (or with english subtitles...teaches you to learn how o write it and helps you understand what's going on if the actor is mumbling).

I mean, since you got to Canada and had to learn the language until you actually were completely fluent like a native speaker And what about your accent Did it get better from being around native speakers or you still have problems to be understood sometimes About watching DVD's, I find it a bit frustrating at times unfortunately the actors mumbles quite often and even now when my English is above averge I find it hard to understand all what they say (not to talk a bout the background music)...)) The subtitles are just running too fast for someone who doesn't talk the language every day so this is not an option for me What I found very useful for me is watching talk shows In this shows they don't mumble and they talk in a normal pace so it 's all good and can help a lot to someone who wants to learn the language

honestly
i'm not fluent. my english is good, there are some people who were born here and can't spell as well as me (i'm not such a good speller, they're just not great
). i defenitly got better thanks to being in an english only environment, having to speak english really helped out
and you know, at first i couldn't do that dvd trick, but after watching a few (and being frusterated that i can't understand half of it) i started picking up on it. Also, after reading HP in english, i know that if i want, my reading rate can be about 800 pages/ day. so it's all practice
i'm not fluent. my english is good, there are some people who were born here and can't spell as well as me (i'm not such a good speller, they're just not great
when you say "I'm not fluent" what do you
mean exactly ? Do you mean that you get stuck looking for words when you talk to people ?? I have a very hard time to believe that someone who can read in a reading rate of 800 pages a day is having problems with fluency and what about the accent ? Did you sound like a native speaker or very close to it because you hear native speakers around you all day And one last question How long are you Canada ? I'm just curious how long it takes to get it when you are in an English environment and have to learn in English at school every day

well i speak well, when it comes to
in conversations i'm usually pretty fluent, but sometimes i do come across a sentence where i just forgot the english word for (it usually happens with the "bigger" words). i have a pretty light accent, some people don't know that i'm not canadian, but some know right away..so i guess i do have an accent sometimes
. i had a light accent even when i first came to canada, but i think it improved over time. .regarding the reading part, i just read fast in general. i can read pretty fast in hebrew (again, depending how interesting the book is, but i'd say around 100 pages/hour in hebrew) i'm in canada for three years and a few months. but! before i came to canada, i did spend one month in New Jersey, where i pretty much spoke JUST english all the time, and it really boosted up my english. (here i speak hebrew too). So i think the "big jump" is after the first couple of months, and then you begin to learn things more slowly. and if you want to see a typical essay written in grade 12 here, i can send you one. hope i helped (abd gave you some hope
)

i agree with what ron suggested
you should try to read books that you enjoy and already read in Hebrew and read them in English. reading magazines will help you as they are written in a more casual language (unless you choose an academic one) this will help you to develop a sense to the language which you can then you to read the subtitles of movies.
