English and Me

I started English in the 5th grade. I liked learning, the colors, the objects and the number anda I had good marks. But it was only the beginning when I sarted reading texts I had more problems. The marks became lower and the difficulties increased.
Now I am in the 11th grade, my last year of English and it is very difficul to have a positive mark. I understand the grammar rules however my vocabulary is very bad and I don't understand the texts.
I would like to know how to speak English better.....

Hi pmprodri,

There's a document in our Toolbox called "How to Improve" where you can find some useful tips. Using the resources here at Cria Online, especially those with audio and video (listening and repeating, trying to imitate what you hear, etc.), can also help you develop your speaking skills. Even writing on your blog or commenting on other people's posts will help, because you'll start to feel more confident and that is always fundamental for learning.

As marga13 says, practicing a lot is the best (the only?) way. So, forget about inhibition and just talk whenever you can. If you do that, you'll start to improve very fast.
