Learn English Speaking Online

Olga Said:

I wanna learn speaking UK english online please help me with a good site for free where i can learn easily?plz

We Answered:

UK english is the same as American english. We both speak english. It is just different accents or dialects that we use. There are some differences though.

If you are talking about just learning to use the British accent,
did you know that Great Britain is the island made from THREE countries: England, Scotland and Wales, all with many distinctive regional accents and dialects. To complicate matters further, the "United Kingdom" also includes these countries' surrounding islands and Northern Ireland, and "The British Isles" incuding the rest of Ireland too.

Your best bet would to look at some of the BBC sites and listen to their broadcasters talking. You will have to mimic and practice how they speak.

This site offers a list of some differences in American and British english: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learni…

Just navigate the column on the left side of the page for more information and unique "Learning english" information and tools.

Good luck.

how i can learn spoken english online?

We Answered:

Try watching TV programs or films in English- use youtube or websites like http://www.cucirca.com/. You'll be able to get in more exposure that way because it doesn't feel like a lesson. Also, because they're made for a general audience rather than learners, you're subjected to different accents, colloquial terms, and a more realistic speed.

how to learn spoken english online ?

Actually, broadening/improving one's language skills is a very broad concept, it can be done in more than one ways at the same time which is highly recommended. One can NOT become better ONLY in one area e.g. chatting, one MUST improve skills in ALL dimensions of the language!

Learning language well requires being as active as possible and making the learning as FUN for oneself as possible. Taking lessons is always important, but equally important are these:

1) Listen/watch: Keep listening to internet radio stations like BBC, watch TV shows in English (use only subtitles, NOT voice dubbing!), etc.

2) Write/communicate: Try to find discussion forums from the web about things that you find interesting (music/various artists, hobbies, etc.) and start communicating there with other people using English. Start using instant messaging systems in case you find some new friends or start emailing them.

3) Buy yourself a proper dictionary, and each time when you see a strange word that you do not understand, look it up. Putting words into their context is one of the best ways to broaden one's vocabulary, the more you read and write the better. Memorising is NOT the best way to go with learning vocabulary or any other language areas!

The main point in ANY language learning is to make it as fun as possible for yourself. Try to find topics that INTEREST you, read online newspapers (Times, Guardian, Independent...), listen to BBC/NBC and other radio stations online, if you find a discussion forum for e.g. your favourite hobby or your idols in music do participate there, etc. The key word here is CONTEXT, which means that it is easier to learn new words and their usage as well as grammar when you use/see them in their real CONTEXT.

I'm sorry there is no easy way out with this, one really must develop language skills in ALL these language "levels" or dimensions in order to reach better language skills!!

Last but not least: NEVER EVER use ANY online translators, they are nothing but utter rubbish!! English is practically EVERYWHERE in the online world these days, you just have to use your imagination to find it! Learning pace is always personal, it takes the time it takes so there is no reason to hurry it up too much. If you do, you will not learn so well.

Good luck!
