I want to improve my oral skill, but it is difficult to find a foreginer to practise.

Any brother and sister, can you suggest a method for me to improve the oral skill ?

Thank you very much.

Brother the easy way without helps by other is watch lots of englis programme.
Listen to them try to speak up...
dare to speak to your friend around even your family i think if they care bout you they'll help

There is no better way than listening, writing and speaking more. To have a native English ascent, you need to live in an English country for perhaps two to three years.

try to watch more hollywood movie and english tv channel.

well that's no other way but just, you know say, talk, use English to communicate with the others. Well of course to really find a foreigner that is keen to chat with you is quite hard, but in your daily life at least you can read a book-say it loud, use english to talk to local people or foreigners that's fine---if you are not bother to really put effort in in then...


And also watch more English movies/programmes, listen to it or read the english "subs" instead of your chinese stuff---(I'm not being a racist-_-)

Thank you very much, I will set a programme to improve my English skill

you may join some courses which are taught by native speakers~

No better than more practices!

Yeah, I like it!

如果想說一口流利的英語, 這個網上自學課程應該算很專業, 很有系統. 我覺得最好的便是可無限次重複聽, 直到鬼老的口音都背埋. 以前看酉片聽唔明的鬼老慣用語, 現在已經聽得明了. 準出國留學生應該很大幫助

My personal experience is that the only effective way is to consistently engage in English conversation. Watdhing English programs helps but until you're able to practise your skill, there is a limit to what you can achieve. Years ago, a friend from HK was doing a marvelous job translating English to Cantonese during speeches by Americans. I'd always felt she would be a great orator in English until I heard her speak one day. Her accent was so heavy that it was even hard for me to understand. Many who are proficient in reading, writing, and listening English may not be as good speaking it. For those who don't have English speaking foreigners in their neighborhood, it may be helpful if you can find those in your circle who are willing to speak to one another in English.
