Dear Visitors; I decided to bring forward my experiences, inspirations and breaking news about my studies and my groups "Karaoke and Daily Vocabulary" at this part of my welcoming page. As some of my friends know well I've been training about pronunciation since last year but it took some time to discover HOW and from WHERE to start studying. Thanks to AUDIO GROUP and Be Newscaster with TARA, it became a superb beginning after that I kept going on singing with Karaoke Group meanwhile I started searching the rules of pronunciation, phonetics, minimal pairs etc..Then EC began blossom with good exercises of pronunciation.Teacher TARA raised its importance. I love studying with a team synergy, like singing, reading news, training american accent...I was wondering how narrow the field of training to focus well on the main idea, because I have got lost, today I feel myself more clear.

Hello Everybody,
After years of hard working for some private companies in İstanbul, I've been living in Ayvalık for two years. My english studying is going on for two years intensely. I pay attention to study all skills equally as using diversity sources. In my opinion, listening, reading, writing, speaking practice must be mixed.From my perspective, both the grammar rules and the daily practice must be held together. Recently, my daily routin is to improve pronunciation and also getting new words as writing & reading something in EC or from the net. When I am writing, I definitely use "Merriam-Webster Learning English Dictionary" which helps for making your own dictionary.

My Group "Daily Vocabulary Learning"
Altough, it's called "Daily" but in fact that we're making more compact studies in words' own texts. I realized that during in my learning process, it's not important how number of words you learned, it's essential matter whether the words you've already learnt are used efficiently or not, as far as I'm concerned.Here is a good debate about difficulties in taking mental note. If You are already being frustrated when you see the long list, my unique suggestion is that you should make your athmosphere full of english, if you could. I mean, there should be a reason for using your english such as communication with your friends,first of all, have a good dictionary for examp; Oxford for learners, try to understand what's happening in the world of english, and then writing is just coming before speaking that is important skill for preparing your brain to speak.These were my experiences, I believe you'll find the best way for yourself.

Today, I gained my first but big experience in Skype by talking with dear Gabriel, I know that conversation was boring, but of course he pushed me & never give me up. initially, I was paralyzed, couldn't say any word, ı was blank, words didn't come easy, but in the progress I became better, thanks a lot Gabriel, you noticed me I had wings :))) and in the new future, I may use them in confidently:)) You made my day, God bless you,
