hi
my friend I need a person that I can talk to him and he ask me and I ask him..I mean I don't have a problem with writing ..or ..reading ...my problem is with speaking and listening ... So I need a person as a friend stay to gather most of the time ..talk on the phone ..etc.


thanks

[البكيريه]

Sorry to interfere but I would like to say something if you may allow me

Well
Friendship is a great word
You don’t just order a friend
They don’t grow on trees
What if you find someone who has a bad personality and attitude, Would you keep him as a friend just because he is an English native speaker ?????

[majed]

yes ..you are right my friend ...

ofcourse I need a native speaker but that doesn't mean he must be a bad person... What if he found me a bad friend .. the general basement is people are good, Muslims -Christian..Arabs and none Arabs ....

If I found him a bad friend ofcourse I will not continue with him ..and lam sure
he will do the same if he found me bad person...

thanx :36_3_15[1]:

First of all, welcome to our little cozy home dear brother

We're more than glad having you among us


I'm sorry to inform you that in somehow I have the same problem, I'm not an English teacher though

and I guess it's a common one for the majority here in K.S.A

So, let's be more optimistic in such matter, yet as for me, I feel like that I had enough thinking about it over and over, so I've started registering in some English forums and I've found it very useful.

You're gonna tell me that your problem is with speaking and listening, ok! but I got over'em by watching a lot of movies and pronouncing what they say, yeah day by day, I've surpassed all my obstacles

You're more expert than me as you're older, believe me don't make it hard for yourself. sooner or later you're gonna get what you've been looking for.


Sorry for making it long post, but I wish if I could help you


Welcome to the club again


Your Bro,

first I would like to say ( Happy Eid ) also want to thank all members here who gave me the advices ...And I promise to do what they say ,,I hope I will success ...But i think all the advices which they tell ,,will take along time result ( at least 2 years )...while I think having a friend who is a native speaker will give faster learning .. mistakes correction ....

but anyway I won't ignore my friends' advices ,,,,

* NOTE : all of the advices is talking about improving listening ...What about speaking ?

Thank you very much

[eng.prof]

O.K I'll be your friend but how much will pay me ? :P just kidding

look dude don't push too hard on yourself and try to be easy. To be honest with you, you wont be able to change your accent like natives because you passed the right age of " acpuisition " .. only young people can be like natives.

One more thing ... what's wrong with Saudi accent ? it's cute isn't it?

wish you the best of luck
