And another one from me, we can learn new words while improving our pronunciation as focusing on

• intonation (melody) ,
• reduction (linking),
• stress,

I came across it on Facebook posted by Junko, thanks to Junko,

Hello Darapheak,

Please accept my excuse for my absence so far,

actually, there is no very easy way to grasp to words I mean no magic way, if you ask me my experiences, I discovered involving in the stories and daily conversations with EC friends and interesting the subject whichever you like, (reading, posting, etc)

please kindly note that using all Media alternatives will help you beyond your imagines,

for example; no matter what you are doing,

"just do listening whenever or whichever" 

was, is, will be the key position for me !..

the last thing; be patient because this is a life long learning, but be sure that since my joining in the club in 2009 I proceeded a lot.

Desiring & sparing some time is quite enough,

Good Luck and,

Hello Anastasia,

Welcome & nice to meet you, thanks for coming and congratulation to your resolution,

Well, learning vocabulary really needs great time, but never give up, you wont regret, everyday little by little, one word per day, 365 words for the year :)) to be honest, this group aims to make people lively to grasp "terms and phrases", without being notice..not word by word study.

The fact that doesn't matter how to do, just read & listen the article, topic and stick to the point whatever you like,

my humble advices :

"various subject and accent recommended :))"

" improve your vocabulary by listening "..you gain two skill in the same time.

Today, I am sharing a letter with you which tell us a 

Success Story

Here is that inspirational letter,

My name is Carlos and I'm a 70 year old retired man with a strong liking to master the English language.

My dream is to speak this language as the two speakers(a female and a male) are doing in this video. Click here to watch Alfredo's "English Success" videos. You can watch the first 7 for free.

I'd like to find an English material compatible with my needs.

Listening and speaking are the biggest difficulties, the two skills that most require from us students.

I believe that I have a good knowledge of it, I can hold a conversation about several topics but I see I have to improve considerably my communication.

I have the opportunity to talk once a week to an American who lives here. I can understand him with no problem except when he uses some idiomatic expressions when I ask him to repeat them for me to jot down in a notebook for my personal studies at home.

My frustration is regarding not understanding completely a tv program, for instance.

Taking into consideration all I've explained I ask your kind attention to my questions, pointing out exactly what I should do to achieve my target.

With all my respect and admiration for you remarkable work,

Carlos Araujo
Brazil

Diana's Answer;
Dear Carlos,

Thank you very much for writing me.

Your particular situation is quite common, as during the process of learning a language we reach a point where we can basically understand, basically communicate but our skills fall short (are limited) in one or two area's.

You mentioned that you are frustrated while watching TV shows, as you do not understand everything.

This is natural and the best and more effective way to push through (continue and improve) is to watch more of these programs.

Initially you might not notice a difference, but over time you will be able to understand more of what is being said in these programs.

This letter was taken from  helping you learn English which regularly sent me newsletters ;

I wish you my best,

Selma,
