  • Don't get disheartened.  I have been learning English through out my life, but not yet learn how to speak properly, but I do not mind it, even if I do not have American or British accent I do not care it either.  I have my own Subcontinantal accent.  You just keep learning.  Read a lot, watch English movies, listen to English News on TV and or on radio.  Try to remember new words you learn, trying to use them in your sentences, and short paras. Brings books of short stories, read them again and again.

    It is not good on the part of those teacher who insult you for not being (presently) able to speak English properly.  Or may be they are trying to hurt your ego a little bit to motivate you as challenging.  Any way keep learning.

    • Great..

  • Hi, Okezie, welcome to EC!
    10 years ago some friends of mine made fun of me for mispronouncing some words in English. Because I had learned those words by reading books, and I had never heard the spoken word, I didn't know the right way to pronounce them. I agree that this can hurt your pride a bit... But because it was true that it sounded really funny what I said, I simply kept my head up, and explained why I wasn't so great at speaking English, and then I laughed with them. ;) Many years later I got time to polish my English, and I started with learning the correct pronunciation of all those words, and after that I just kept learning. So, take it easy... don't take it to your heart. ;)  

    Greetings!

  • Vendetta is a great motivation. Improve your english studying hard and then throw the Oxford Dictionary at these stupid teachers' faces...

    Uhm... no, wait. That's not cool. You shouldn't do that... Forget about studying.  Just hit them hard with the dictionary.
