The most important thing to learning English. Hi everyone :) To anyone who really wants to speak English fluently, I offer you an invaluable advice. Always be confidfent when you are learning.

The biggest mistake a student can do is to be afraid of making mistakes. You guys have to realize that the more mistakes you make the better you get (as long as you are corrected). Always speak with confidence because it goes hand in hand with fluency. I cannot stress this enough. 

If you speak with native english speakers from this website, it would mean that theyare in a similar situation that you are in and they would'nt laugh at you for making grammatical errors or silly phrases. 

Personally guys, what I don't appreciate are students of the language who give half assed efforts. It will take you alot more time if not a lifetime to master English if you approach learning it with a 'so-so' attitude. I am aware that some people's culture is to be withrawn and reserved but you have to make decent efforts to try and learn. ISome people may only need to learn English at a certain level but for those who want to take it a few steps further.. please heed my advice.

I have a Japanese friend, who before coming here to study knew extremely basic English. He has been living here for 4 years now and is a Registered Lawyer here in Australia. I am not joking when I say that his muster of the English language surpasses mine. Whenever we go out he is our 'loudmouth'. He cracks most of the jokes and laughs the loudest. I attribute his achievments to his determination and hard work.

Thanks for listening to me and I hope this helps most of you guys :)
