Hey Everybody this is Adja,
Well I’ve been here at VCU for five months and at the beginning it wasn’t easy to talk you’ are going to be shy to talk because you do not want to do mistakes etc….
I love my speaking Class it’s good but first I didn’t want to talk even all my classmate and I were there to improve their English because to talk in other language is not easy. I can say but Audrey and other students help me to see that it doesn’t matter if you make mistakes because you really have to do it !!that’s the part of learning a language but the secret is that you have to be more confident.
To improve my speaking ability I watch movies if I have time or television.I watch my favorites Channel or I read a book, listen to music and read their lyrics too, talk to my roomate and then she can tell my mistakes and some people that I know too.
I used to refuse to take a telefone when it was someone from here who called me but now I took my cell fone and I talk.There are a lot of differents way to improve your speaking ability but the best way is to talk talk talk a lot and also to go to the classroom or visit some places.
Thank you :)
