***Learning English?Tips:

1) Be audio-visual!
Throw the books away until you get used to the language; instead, watch films in English with *English* subtitles.

Check out Yale courses with subtitles! http://www.youtube.com/user/YaleCourses?feature=watch

TED Talks also have subs: www.ted.com/talks

I think this is the best site since Couchsurfing. A community full of selfish people that also want to give. I love that.

I'm very interested in learning languages. I don't know why- it's intellectual ammo. I'm especially keen on East-Asian ones. I know my English from when I lived there, and kept in touch with it after I left- admittedly not hard these days.
