1 speaking practise tips ?

Hi and Hello to all nice people here on the Board,
Please I need tips or help (wherelse except VHS)where I can practise my english to be better than now. Would help me so much for my next journey to Alba.
thanks for any help.

Hello scotsAlba1,
to give you good advice it would be helpful to know, which skills need improving. Is it understanding or speaking? If it is understanding I recommend listening to radio (e.g. BBC Radio Scotland or BBC Radio 4), watching movies in English or reading books and magazines. Write shopping lists or memos in English, start a diary in English. In case of speaking it gets a little more difficult. Try to find native speakers or other people conversing in English where you live. If that is not possible, read aloud or sing along, that could do the trick aswell.

Most important get started and try to have fun.
Jessie

Hi ScotsAlba1,

a good opportunity to improve both speaking and understanding a foreign language is to find a so called "Tandempartner". For more information on this subjekt see for example: [url=] www.tandempartners.org/ [/url]

Many thanks to both of you.

Dear scotsAlba1,

to find your language level, visit www.sprachtest.de . And you could improve your English with "Spotlight products": the magazine "Spotlight" or "Spotlight Audio", where you here texts and interviews on a CD or download. See www.spotlight-online.de/products/audio-cd .
Or the magazine "Spotlight plus": these are 24 pages of language exercises related to the magazine. See www.spotlight-online.de/language/tests/difficult/current .

Dear Helen,
thank you for your tip. Indeed I bought this Magazin last week.
Very interesting.
