piotr.grela - That's right. It used to intrigue me a lot why you native speakers don't speak according the big grammar books and respected dictionaries :-)

piotr.grela - It's difficult to disagree with you. We often try to be super correct this hamper our fluency.
Many years ago, before I spoke I was pondering what tense should I use, what article, what word, if I correct pronounce words in such or other way, linking words OMG... it took me plenty of time. Now when I want to speak, I speak. It's often not perfect pronunciation and grammar. Learning language, programming, playing musical instrument or learning other activity it's a process. - vor 3 Jahren |

londynwarszawianka - I agree with you that we often try to be perfect from the start and we think about grammar, the structure of sentences first rather than practice our speaking. I used to do the same...:)

piotr.grela - Seeing your nickname "Londynwarszawianka" I suppose you living in London as me.
To improve me hearing, speaking and understanding everyday English I use a method called shadowing. I watch TV show (maybe a little silly) called "EastEnders (it's a legend) on the website www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer with subtitles. And I repeat sentences after actors on my mobile phone. I use a website intentionally because there is a pause button in the left corner and I can press pause very easily. When I encountered unknown me word, phrase I take a screenshot on my mobile phone, later in my free time I type it to www.diki.pl dictionary and "Bob's your uncle" I've got them in my learning process on www.etutor.pl - vor 3 Jahren geändert: vor 3 Jahren |

piotr.grela - You, me and other English learners are gonna be better and better every day.
It all needs time and practice. I don't quite fancy the BBC. Because they are selling porkies 24/7. But only for educational purpuse I watch the "EastEnders" show. When I'm outside cycling I'm listening English podcasts from YouTube or audiobooks. - vor 3 Jahren geändert: vor 3 Jahren |

piotr.grela - Did you notice one important thing in the South British Standard Pronunciation that sound "ash" is replaced by "a" :-)
Have you met people who say: "He, she don't" and are highly educated :-) - vor 3 Jahren geändert: vor 3 Jahren |
