Improving English skills

Watch your grammar. English is a universal language and we also use it in our everyday lives. We could hear people engaging in an intellectual discourse in the English language every day. Some people are proficient with the language, while some still need to try a little bit harder.

I am always amazed by people who are never shy about speaking the language. But sometimes I get turned off when they couldn’t quite determine the proper use of “you’re”, “your”, “were” and “we’re” in a sentence. I guess simply learning the how to speak English is not enough. You also have to improve the vocabulary and the grammar. You do not have to necessarily enroll yourself in a grammar school when you can improve them on your own. Start by reading a lot, not only can you widen your vocabulary but also learn new things that could add to your knowledge. If you prefer to play than read, you could try playing games like word factory and scrabble, though sometimes calculating scores is a bit tiring, but thank goodness there is a Scrabble Score Calculator.  So I guess it’s about time that we work it up and strive to progress.
