Hey Ranu,

Basically, there should be a certain and standart knowledge that we have so when we need how to, we can figure out from.

I agree with you but also we use our "feeling" and also "imitation" to my mind, because you should imagine in one way or another,

I wish, I would be in the nature english atmosphere.

Thank you for your participation.

Dear Ruth,

Your help is priceless to me. I would love to. How can we start ? It's exciting too much.:))) This will be my first experience really that I've been waiting for a long time.

Hi Ruth ,

Thanks a lot for taking time to answer my question, I do as much as your suggestions, I wonder if I missed something ? I've been already listening a lot actively and passively but Chart is theoric way to learn properly.

Your help is more than welcome. What's your offering ? Skype, ? I think I am shy about that.

Dear Nafis,

Thanks a lot,

I wonder that which one will be the best beginning ?

1) word by word saying out loud or ;

2) memorize homophone chart ?

Dear Selma, I think we can practice pronunciation from the beginning since pronunciation needs time to be corrected. As dear Tara always says, the important point is to have a clear accent that people can understand. So, the goal is not to be like a native speaker because this is useless and unreasonable to be like them.
