Hey guys now I am exchang student from korea and I already accepted from small private school for next semister. As you can see my english is really sucks.
I really want to improve my english so I tried many different way so far. But it wasn’t work at all.
I think like tofle and sat that kind of stuff have lots of books and information. However i am attending regular english class and there are no person who can recommend me how to study even my teachers.
i want to get A on my english
Recommand me about it plz
One of the best ways to improve is simply to read a lot of material in English. For starters, I would recommend going on CNN.com every day and reading a few articles. Once you feel comfortable with those, start in on more complex novels and other fiction. You can’t expect to improve overnight, but that kind of practice can go a long way towards helping you improve your comprehension.
Hope this helps!
By the way, your English is actually pretty good!
Yeah… That is true but I have to take english test and i dont know how to study… for test. I am reading articles though. Few weeks ago i took the final exam and i got c… I realized that the test is definitely different with english. On the test they were dealing with poem and lit and some articles. I have never seen english poem lol. And i am used to study with self teaching book b/c of ridiculous korean education system.
Ooh, poetry can be hard, especially in a foreign language. How long do you have to study for your next test? Something that has really helped me with the SATs was hiring a tutor in my worst subject (math). These can be a bit expensive (around $50 per hour-long session), but can really help you to study and to answer specific questions. Sometimes, teachers are willing to work with you outside of school for pay to help you prepare.
If you’re interested in something like that, you could ask your English teacher if she knows of anyone who would be willing to work with you. She might have a list of tutors in the area.
You could also ask other students that you know, especially from accelerated classes, to help you. Most high-schoolers would be happy to make a little extra money, and you may be able to pay them less than a real teacher! Just make sure it’s someone responsible who will actually be able to help you - you don’t want your “tutor” to be goofing around the whole time.

Tips on how to teach yourself English effectively from a group of Poles who taught themselves to fluency before ever leaving Poland.
Can confirm the methods work; I used a variation for Japanese and 6 months after starting was able to read raw manga and watch anime without subtitles. One year after starting, I got a 670 on my SATII. (I got stuck on one question and like an idiot, didn’t finish the paper.)
You don’t have to be smart or special or anything, you just need to know how to approach the language right. Make sure you have fun, don’t use textbooks if you don’t like them, and consume lots and lots of interesting English media (songs, TV shows, movies, books.)
Note: I also used Spaced Repetition Systems the way AntiMoon and similar sites instructed, to learn 300 (yes, three hundred) difficult SAT words within 5 (yes, five) days, by spending perhaps half an hour a day. Check it out and please ask if you have any questions.
