Read plenty of books.Learn all of the nouns-vowels-silent letters.Try and mix with English speaking people if possible as that would make you familiar to the language.There is also a lot of slang in the English language.All the best it is quite easy once you get use to it.

How to improve my English writing?

We Answered:

There are lots of online writing sites, just do a search. But it's always better if you can learn in a classroom situation with real-life feedback. If there are community colleges or vo-techs in your area, see if they offer classes on writing. Even creative writing class will teach you skills that will carry over into your work - and you might find out that you enjoy it. Or if there is a local or state writers' organization, they may have ongoing classes. It's just a matter of taking the time to find out what your options are.

How can I improve my english writing skill?

We Answered:

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. writing, 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: Listen 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!

How to improve the English writing skill?

We Answered:

Hi Arun,
English is not my first language either. If you are serious about learning English, then I would recommend that you learn words and their meanings.

A publication that might interest you is 'The Reader's Digest 'published once a month in many countries. Reading the articles will provide you with interesting topics and you will see how punctuation is used and sentences constructed.

It also has a Word-Page where you choose the correct meaning for a given word. Usually, on the following page you are given the correct answers.

Practice writing sentences using the words and this will help to build your vocabulary.

If you can afford it a Dictionary that shows the words and also provides sample sentences would be a great help as would a copy of 'Roget's Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases.'

Hope this helps.
