to improve speaking skill

hi guys,

as mentioned in this topic''''s subject, i want to improve my speaking skill (conversation as well as presentation skills)

i''''ve just gone through our topic named "nhung trung tam anh ngu tot o sg". But i think that they are not very useful for me (of course they are, but not really). As far as i know, Apollo mainly helps ppl to pronounce and speak correctly, and others (ILA for instance), however, have kind of big classes (i mean the number of students per class, just in my opinion). Therefore, it is unlikely that teachers spend much time discussing with individuals, correcting mistakes of every one, and so on.

So, what i am looking for is a place where only small number of students involved. I really appreciate it if you could advise me on that.

Besides, does anyone know which speaking clubs are running very frequently? (i don''''t mean once per week is frequent), or is there anyone out there interested in communicating in eng with me every day?

well i think that s long enough, thanks loads for viewing, everyone

cheers

Hello
I have the same object with you. Can we make friend and practice English. Now we have a lot of toolkits to study English like video, cd, especially Internet. I think that we can chat by chatvoice or telephone. Would you mind introducing yourself ?
My name is Ngoc Quang, YM : whalevn3000. Hope to meet you online.

Hi guys,
Here are some of mine experience,
First of all, you have to be confident. Don''t by shy if you say something wrong. Keep on practicing everytime, everywhere.

Next, if you have free time, I mean that in the weekend, you can go to the Center, Dist.1... or De Tham St. At those place, you will meet many foreigner
And, try to think in English, not in Vietnamese
English Club in Youth Center is quite good.
Hope that your English will be better in the next short time!

I second that. Don''t try to translate between Vietnamese and English when you speak. Just speak. Also try to speak slowly and don''t get embarrassed when you make mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes.
Remember not every tourist speaks english natively. A German probably speaks english worse than you.
Hope it helps.

What kind of communicating u meant?
chat? sms? or.... talk on phone?

I can''t, my God! If I don''t translate it, I will make a big mistake: talking non-sense.

hi,
it would be great if i could practise eng with you
by all means: phone sms messenger or face to face
