How can you find English speakers to talk with?

How can you find English speakers to talk with?

 

One complaint I often hear from English learners is that it's hard to find people to practice with.
I agree that it can be hard. You have to change your habits to put yourself in new situations where you get more English practice. It takes a little bit of bravery. You have to be willing to speak with strangers, even though it may be a little uncomfortable.
But where do you actually find English speakers? Here are a few of my ideas — some simple and some a little crazy.

• Go to the site Meetup.com and search for an English-based group in your city that matches one of your interests.
• Try a language exchange site like Verbling.com.
• If you're living or studying abroad in an English-speaking country, take a class on something other than English: an exercise class, cooking class, accounting, computer programming, etc.
• Hire a tutor.
• Advertise some service, like babysitting, guiding tours, doing translations, etc. to English speakers in your area.
• Print a T-shirt that says "I speak English" and wear it around everywhere. Maybe another English speaker will comment on it and you can strike up a conversation with them.
• Go to a classified ads site like Craigslist.com and look for people who are advertising things. Call them up and ask them questions about whatever they're advertising.
• Go to a bar or club that you've heard a lot of English-speaking foreigners go to.

But this list is way too short and not nearly creative enough. I need your help! How have you found English-speaking friends or language exchange partners in the past? What else could you do to create opportunities for yourself to practice? The more creative the idea, the better!

Long Distance Relationships

“I've personally found that long-distance relationships are really hard to make work.”

A friend has met a girl that he really likes, but she lives far away. He asks what you think. You've had relationships with people who lived far away, but they didn't last long.

I've personally found that long-distance relationships are really hard to make work.

I personally (think/feel/believe/etc.)

When you're expressing an opinion that other people might disagree with, you can introduce the opinion with "personally". For example:

I personally feel that eating meat is unnecessary and cruel to animals.

I've personally never liked going out to bars and things like that.

I've found that (sentence)

Use this phrase to introduce a conclusion that you've come to based on your experience. For example:

I've found that slicing it in half first makes it a lot easier to dice.

I've found that buying high-quality clothes to begin with saves me money in the long run because it lasts longer.

a long-distance relationship

A "long-distance relationship" is when you're dating someone who lives far away from you. When you're in a long-distance relationship, you don't get to see your sweetheart very often, so it's difficult.

make (something) work

Imagine that you have a slightly difficult situation in life. For example, imagine that you and your spouse both work long hours and also have to take care of your children. If you try hard to live with the problem, you are "making it work".

How to become a fluent speaker?

Good English speaking skills will allow you to communicate effortlessly. Here are a few things that you can do to become a fluent speaker.
Practice, practice, practice
Your speaking skills will only improve with practice. A lot of people who can write excellent English aren’t very good speakers because they hardly practice speaking English. Avoid this pitfall. Practice your speaking skills whenever you get a chance. You needn’t necessarily have to find native English speakers to improve your speaking skills. You can also speak with your friends, teachers or anyone capable of understanding spoken English.
Be a confident speaker
Most people will become self-conscious when they have to converse in a foreign language. It’s quite natural. But don’t let it interfere with your speaking. Don’t worry about making mistakes. All of us do and it doesn’t really matter. The truth is that very few people can speak a foreign language perfectly. Don’t be obsessed with being a perfect speaker. When it comes to a foreign language, what is important is being able to get your message across.
Improve your vocabulary
Don’t worry about grammar. When you speak you don’t necessarily have to be grammatically correct. Few people speak in grammatically correct English. You must, however, be able to use the right words because the wrong choice of words will seriously limit your ability to convey your messages. So it is essential that you learn all words that are typically used in everyday situations.
Don’t translate from your own language
While speaking, do not try to translate sentences to or from your own language. This will take a lot of time and will seriously affect your fluency. If you don’t know the right word, you should consider expressing the same idea using other words. Or, you can say something like ‘ah’, um’, ‘er’ or ‘huh’. These are fillers that would give you a second or two to find an appropriate word.
Don’t speak too fast! Instead, use the natural rhythm. If you speak too fast, people will have trouble understanding you.

Prepositions of time menunjukkan waktu terjadinya sesuatu. Contoh: “I get up at 7.00″ menunjukkan waktu dimana saya bangun.
Beberapa preposisi waktu yang paling umum adalah: in, on, at, from, to.
In
In digunakan untuk waktu pagi (morning), sore (afternoon), dan malam (evening). Contoh:

• I study Japanese in the afternoon.
• He gets up early in the morning.

In juga digunakan untuk periode-periode waktu yang lain, termasuk bulan (month), musim (season), tahun (years), abad (centuries), dan zaman (ages). Contoh:

• My birthday is in March.
• The Portuguese came to Japan in 1542.
• Flowers grow in spring.

On
On hampir selalu digunakan untuk beberapa jenis hari. Contoh:

• My birthday is on March 29th.
• I go to church on Sunday.
• We visit my family on New Year’s Day.

Bandingkan kedua kalimat berikut:

• He gets up early on Monday morning

At digunakan untuk waktu tertentu. Misalnya:

• – He gets up at 7.30.
• – I come home at lunchtime.

At juga digunakan untuk waktu malam.
Bandingkan kedua kalimat berikut:

From – to
From dan to digunakan untuk menunjukkan permulaan dan akhir periode waktu yang telah ditentukan. Contoh:

Contoh penggunaan dalam percakapan
1) What are you doing at the weekend?
On Saturday I’m meeting my friends at 2.00, and in the evening I’m watching a movie. On Sunday I’m not busy, so maybe we can go out together.
That sounds great!
2) I’m so busy these days!
How come?
I get up at 6.30 in the morning, and I finish work at 8.00 in the evening. It’s a really long day.
You’re so busy!
I know. My boss wants our project finished in March, so we’re working really hard.
I think you need a holiday.
Well, in the summer I have three weeks holiday. I can’t wait!
3) Hello, this is doctor Watson’s clinic. How can I help you?
Hello, this is Tyler Saunders. I’d like to make an appointment.
OK, Mr. Saunders. How about on Tuesday at 3.30?
I’m busy all day on Tuesday. Is Friday OK?
Well, the doctor can see you in the morning at 9.30.
9.30 on Friday is fine.
Very good, Mr Saunders. We look forward to seeing you.
Thankyou, good bye.
Goodbye.
