By Ahmad Ali Shah

Salam all dears,

I know alot about grammer of english and learned enough words's meanings and having experience of talking in english with my friend and i have proved myself good with them but the problem is that whenever I talk to a native english speaker i fail getting his words just because I cannot get his/her words due to his speaking speed. The Second problem is that i fail to recall my memory to use the appropriate words on the same occasion, help in in solving these problem if someone could. thanks

If so,try joining your Military , in fact the military district is VERY BIG and you will get very well rewarded if you go there for a technical skill,like engineer etc...

Or try to join other countries military that accept foreigners like France (French foreign legion),and the Russian military and Spanish one I think.

Or join your own military and you will have good chance to work in joint training and overseas.

If you ask me ,and you don't have responsibility ( Like kids etc...), I'd suggest you go do volunteering work in Africa or Asia , you will get life experience, travel everywhere and help.

We are not talking politics here west bay.

Just because Obama is Black does not mean he is not proficient in real English.

Stop trolling.

Stay on the relevant subject about how to learn English better.

Being American, I can say first of all, every culture has their own slang, street slang. It is best like LIC says you can learn American English, or the harder to understand British English.....

But do not try to learn the black American they create and say it is English....you will be lost.

Cheers

It only makes sense that if you hung out in Europe they spoke British English. American /Canadians pronounce and annunciate better. Sorry my opinion!

you need to watch porn in English.. Why porn?

simple.. It is because you will recall most words and if not, you can always rewind and it will not be boring..

Like you don't wanna rewind a regular movie 3 times...

you know what I mean?

Oh I am sorry to hear that mate.

But Qatar has NOTHING to do with geology ,if you want geology related job try contacting National Geographic , try first to get experience by volunteering in Africa ,Asia and North America.

I would say that if you hang out with some English folks then you will get more than what you think . For me no matter who I am with I tend to catch anything. So basically you need to meet people and talk with them to get a true taste. "YaLl kNoW wHaT i'Am tAlKiNg AbOuT"

Yeah well half British since I'm born there and only lived for 5-6 years, but again whenever I go to Europe or big meetings, all the classy people speak Queen's English , it is AMAZING ,they also have splendid wide vocabulary which you don't hear them repeating the same words over and over again!

If you ask me I'd say British accent.

Just focus on the British accent, if you do you will be able to understand most accents without any hassle .

By the way watch British movies and shows, they are rich with different vocabulary and grammar structures.

While practicing try to learn more about the Queen's English .

As what they always say, practice makes perfect. If you want to catch up with what they are saying just watch english movies frequently. And please be noted that there are different accents of english such as american, british and etc. Just focus on one accent first if you want to master it. I prefer american english because it's widely use and it's the easiest to learn and understand among others.

Actually it is not about his speech speed .

Native English speakers talk in different tones and accent than non-natives.

Try to watch videos on Youtube , English shows ,series etc....

Your ear will get used to their speech in no time.
