So, the title says it all. I am looking for a partner to practice conversational English with. Each of us should choose a video on youtube and give it to his partner to prepare a spoken report on. Learning speaking skill by reading is a mistake. In fact, there is a remarkable difference between spoken and written English. We are not supposed to be talking as if we are reading a paragraph. Spoken English is way easier and more flexible and less logical and organized than written English. If you are interested and you meet the following conditions please notify me.
1- You have to be at level intermediate at least.
2- You have to be determined and dedicated for the activity.
3- The activity is 50 reports long.
4- We will be using any App like WhatsApp, Skpe ... etc. If any of these is blocked in your country you can use free VPN App.
Now imagin how much vocabulary and style of speaking you will gain by listening to and reporting on 50 Youtube videos !!
Hello everyone,
I am an intermediate-level english student,However I am looking for someone to go through a book published by Cambridge Press called English Vocabulary In Use : Upper-Intermediate. Moreover, the book is really interesting , informative and well-written.Furthermore, Anybody can review it on Google Books.
Having said that, I would like everyone to have a look at the book and if you find it a good one please respond to this post. in case we have a group of at least 5 student I will talk to any teacher on Italki to include the book in his/her courses packages. we ,then, as a group would pitch in the fees of the course.
All in all, The book is really interesting and it will be a great idea to have it as a curriculum on Italki.
Fluency as I identify it is the ability to talk at a normal pace and be well understood . In fact, I think that I have a good point to share on this topic. I ,actually, think that one of the very obstacles making speaking really hard for me is the fact that I focus on the sentence I am saying and forget about the next thought to follow. On the other hand, when I have had a tree of thoughts and ideas I notice that it gest easier and I sound more natural .
Having said that , I am eager to hear from qualified and specified people regarding what I am highlighting here. Have ever considered addressing the way a student manages their thoughts ! Do you think that is a good point to focus on for me to improve my speaking !
I am looking forward to hearing from anybody.
