abt studying
Hi Helena,
I am advanced student in English, prepearing take TOEFL very soon. As I
already said - you will have nothing without practise. Personally I highly
recommend to study with native speaker, even if you believe you are not
quite ready for that. When you are experiencing situation when you cannot
use russian words (well, you can, but nobody will understand), you will
start to use words, that are in your passive vocabulary. So, that way, they
will finally become your active vocabulary.
Just listen (movies, music, radio) will give you nothing. All you will
improve (very unlikely, though) is your passive vocabulary, and it is
nothing in common with your actual knowledge.
BR,
Margarita

conversation, if you don't mind. I understand, almost every member of
the list is beginner at English study. If I'm wrong,correct me,please. I
like
the idea to write in English, I think it is more effective than to
study English alone. It makes you to move your brain. I would like to
advise all beginners to try to write their letters only in English, I
mean not to use Russian words. Take the words from dictionaries, it is
exellent method to supplement your vocabulary and knowledge. It is easier to
remember
the words you use more frequently. Best regards, Helena.

Hi Helena,
I am [AN] advanced student in English, prepearing[TO] take TOEFL very soon.
As I
already said - you will have [you'd better say 'get'] nothing without
practise. Personally I highly
recommend ['you' - it's a transitive verb] to study with [A] native speaker,
even if you believe you are not
quite ready for that. When you are experiencing situation when you cannot
use russian words (well, you can, but nobody will understand), you will
start to use words, that are in your passive vocabulary. So, that way, they
will finally become your active vocabulary.
Just listen [you should use a gerund form 'LISTENING' or infinitive 'TO
LISTEN'] (movies, music, radio) will give you nothing. All you will
improve (very unlikely, though) is your passive vocabulary, and it is
nothing in common with your actual knowledge.
