When you're having a face to face conversation with someone you don't want to make them do all the work to try to 'figure out what you're trying to say.' You want a clear, flowing, natural conversation with someone. You want to learn what to say and how to say it. And chances are if you're talking with a friend or family member or coworker they aren't going to directly tell you that they didn't understand you completely. You most likely have never been told exactly what you say wrong. Most students have no idea. They know they struggle but they've never actually been told if it's pronunciation or vocabulary or sentence structure. They have never really had someone from the United States really listen to all the sounds that come out of their mouth and watch what their mouth does (If it moves much or not.) Most students are taught that pronunciation isn't important.... then they wonder why they still have such a strong accent that sounds nothing at all like American English. Here are a few ways that I can help you improve your spoken American English so you sound more clear and understandable to native English speakers. That way when you speak to someone they don't have to depend on context which can lead to confusion and mis understanding. I could have a conversation with you and point out either your pronunciation mistakes or your sentence structure mistakes depending on which you choose or you can choose to get corrections on both. You would get typed and verbal corrections from me. I could teach you pronunciation skills. For example how to pronounce short vowels, long vowels and more. I could also help you learn phrasal verbs (most students know and use some but they don't know or use many of them). Prepositions (many students forget to use these or don't use the right one. Vocabulary. I've tutored 3,618 Lessons since August of 2018. You can improve your American English speaking. Check out my tutor schedule and my tutor profile!

Return to nature

I bought a lot of clothes today when I hung out. That really made my day. It seems like I didn’t buy anything this year. So I sort of indulged myself. But actually I just wanted to pamper myself for passing through the interview where I performed so excellently the other day . I wonder why I could accept spending so much money on buying clothes one time for myself while I definitely wouldn’t buy one piece which cost over 100rmb. Maybe my consumption concepts changed anyway. That’s not bad. I should care more about myself from now on or no one will feel for me indeed

No fight but mostly quarrels about some topics such as managing money or choosing my curriculum.

Are both sentences OK? I'm talking about a past event. If I say; ** I had experienced something I had never experienced before. ** It has happened recently. If I say ** I experienced something that's never happened to me before. **

If learning English really worked, why does it disappear when your career is on the line? Many adult learners use English regularly and feel comfortable in low-pressure situations. They can read, listen, and prepare answers in advance. However, during important moments — such as job interviews, meetings, or conversations with senior colleagues — English may suddenly feel difficult to access. This experience often leads learners to believe they need more vocabulary, more grammar practice, or more courses. While language knowledge is important, high-stakes situations introduce additional factors. Pressure, responsibility, and fear of making mistakes can affect how people think and respond. As a result, familiar words may not come out as expected. This does not mean that learners lack ability or effort. It highlights the difference between knowing a language and using it confidently under pressure. Recognizing this gap can help learners better understand their experience and reflect on why progress sometimes feels inconsistent, even after many years of study. Written by Anatoly Glazkov
