Hi!
I have problemes in saying english words, I don't know if it's my voice or other reason, I repeat the same phrases the native speakers say but I couldn't be as the same case as they are...
What can I do?

This is what happens when someone learns a new language as a teen or adult. It is not you or your voice. It is the habits your tongue and lips and mouth are used to with your native language.

I'm a native speaker of English. I cannot speak German or French or Hindi the way native speakers do. In fact, I must LIVE in a country or situation that speaks German or French or Hindi, and I must speak ONLY that language for maybe a year or even two or three years. Only then will I begin to sound like a native and lose my English language habits.

My Indian friend has been in the U.S. for over ten years but still has an accent. An accent is cool and sexy. It shows you are a person who has traveled.

If you want to improve written English, please post on the Languages board and alert me to your presence there. I'm not sure how you and I could practice spoken English. Is there someone in your area who is a native English speaker?

[souhila11]

In my area no, I want t improve my written and to get new words with are common, words that native speakers use in their conversations...

So you would write that correctly this way --

I want to improve my written communication and learn new words that are common -- words that native speakers use in their conversations.

Have you had English instruction, so that you know about nouns and verbs and direct objects, etc.

[souhila11]

Yes, I want to speak with others and undrestand the native slang, like want to, at schools teachers teach us WAnt to, as so.I learnt english alone :)

Hi, souhila11!

I do want to just comment here, that although it would be a little bit awkward, it is possible to be communicating via using this site with someone by using the element of sound, by posting sound files for free on sites where they can be stored.

If that's done, then some instruction and progress can actually be heard.

Thanks!
