Thank you so much , I agree with you all. The fastest method to improve english or any languages is immersed into a society that speaks English and use it everyday. We need time, effort and patience.
Its difficult for me to pronounce correctly. Some new words I look up the dictionary and I speak after them, but some "old words" I knew I pronounce not exactly. I don't want to blame at my teachers but I think they did not care about or impossible care about every students. Therefore, in my class , it was only 2 - 3 students pronounce correctly. Especially, mark the stress in sentences really difficulty, I am very bad in this field. Because of my voice, I do not know where is raise and where is fall. :(
For grammar, I did a little amount of exercises so I forgot it quickly. Today, when I meet some people who speak English very excellent, I wish I could be one of them. Thank you so much again, I really need your help, I do not know how and where I should start ? Go abroad - it's impossible ; find an nagetive english teacher in my city - my financial is not enough. Therefore, I sincere expect your advices.
SINCERE, I wish you always happy with your kind - hearted.

Hi Sir Bill,

Thanks for adding me!

It's opportunity for me to have friends like you who have willingness to help others in this aspect.

Actually, until now, still I’m not confident with my communication skill using English language, particularly in public speaking. Before anything else, I’m working in a multi-national company,thus, english communication is very important since people who I regularly met are foreigners from different countries.

It helps great, If I have friends to correct me and will give inputs to develop this skill.

I hope you would help me on this. Thanks in advance Sir!

Best regards,

Thank you Bill, I have study English for 10 years, 4 years at secondary school, 3 years at high school and 4 years at the University. However, I didn't have change to use English as a language. Surprise? In my country, many students use English as a subject, just study for examinations and they concern to grammar above all others. Many many students pronounce in the wrong way. Even they cannot understand the other talk in the simple way. In Hanoi -the capital of Vietnam, and Hochiminh city - the large and develop one, students have many changes to study or practice English, but the smaller city they don't have many changes. However, we also have many students study english by themself and they do very good. It's not me, I have study english so many time but my English speaking is not good. Now I have change to use English for my job ( to read some documents and reported them) and I really find that English is very interesting. I regret that I didn't study carefully it early. Now, I have a children 2 years old and so busy with my housework, I don't have many time for studying. I will try my best to take part in your club and improve my English skill. Thank you for reply my message and I'm very happy to know you. I wish you and your family constant good health, :)

Elli,
This is a very strange word to be in an application. I do not think the application is using this word correctly. A patronymic is a portion of your last name that contains your father's first name. Example: John Peterson. The last name really means son of Peter. But most names like that no longer tell the first name of your real father or if you are a son or daughter. I guess it depends on the culture where you are and how your last name is made. I would assume they really mean paternal last name, or the last name of your father. I know that in Latin America a person has two last names, the first is the maternal last name (the mother's last name) and the second is the father’s last name. Example: Gloria Trujillo Sanchez. So, paternal last name would be Sanchez.
Without my being able to see the application, the word department is difficult to understand. Department could be the area of a company where you want get a job. It depends on which section of the application you are talking about.
