Have you made many English speaking friends? The best way to learn is to have someone to converse with. As you are finding, spoken English can be quite different to the written form and a friend who can gently correct you would be an invaluable aid. smiley - hug

well, i am also not good in English,,,,,,the most effective way to learn English is by speaking. If you started to chat in english with you friend and people around you then you will improve your english.
