This is taken from a document I am writing for work reasons. I thought that some members here may be able to relate:
ESL learners all have unique streanghts, as well as areas they find quite hard. What most ESL learners have in common, is a difficulty speaking, and putting what they know on paper in to practice.
A learners native language has a lot to do with how they take to spoken English, for example, a speaker of a syllable timed language will find the stress timed rhythm of English hard to master, and while they may have mastered the phonetics of English, incorrect syllable stress will change the way a word sounds and can impact their pronunciation and confidence.

Well done Mr. Dayne.
Hi my friend dayne, actually I agree with my friends. Anyway, with your permission, alow me to ask you a favor my friend, as long as you are a native English speaker, please send some advices for us, as an English learners, to take our English speaking to the next livel. God bless you.
I agree with Nadira! And also the rhythm and the tone when speaking a full sentence.
good point.
Exactly there is much difference of the sounds used in the native language .
When learning English the learner should concentrate and practice on phonetics ,tongue twisters and many exercises relating to it . This opens up the jaw enabling to use words correctly
