I’m a recent B.Tech CSE graduate, placed as a Software Engineer at an MNC, and currently waiting for my date of joining.
I’m comfortable with English, but I feel I lack consistent daily speaking practice. I want to become highly confident and fluent in English before beginning my corporate journey.
I’m a person who genuinely enjoys talking to and learning from people. We can have casual conversations about technology, cricket, football, chess, the stock market, fitness, travel, mountains, music, or anything interesting.
No pressure or judgment about mistakes—we’re here to practice, learn, and improve together. Let’s help each other become better at English communication!
If you’re also looking for a speaking partner, please feel free to DM me.
If anyone needs help with English homework or anyone to do their English homework, I’m happy to help! $3-15 per sheet (depending on difficulty) if you want me to do the sheet but help/questions are free! I’m also open to tutor anyone long term (I’m open to discuss any type of rates).
Talk to you soon.
Hi everyone!
I’ve been trying to improve my English consistently, and I think I’m currently around B1.
My listening seems to be one of my stronger skills. I recently took an English test and scored around B1/B2 in listening, but I did much worse in the grammar section.
I can usually understand English and express what I want to say, and I write most of my sentences by myself without using a translator. However, I still make a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes.
Right now, I practice English almost every day using YouTube, ChatGPT, and other learning resources.
My main goal is to reach B2 and become more comfortable speaking and writing English.
For anyone who has been in a similar situation, what helped you the most? Do you think taking an English course would be worth it, or should I continue studying independently and focus more on grammar and practice?
I’ve been trying a different way to improve my English vocabulary, and it has been surprisingly effective.
I upload random photos from everyday life to ChatGPT and ask it to **describe everything in the image in detail**—not just what’s happening, but also the useful vocabulary behind it:
* nouns for objects I didn’t know the names of * verbs for actions * descriptive adjectives * natural phrases and collocations * spatial language like *in the background, leaning against, covered with, hanging from,* etc. * reusable expressions that I can use in completely different situations
What makes this method so useful for me is the **visual association**.
Since I don’t live in an English-speaking country, I’m not constantly surrounded by situations where I naturally pick up this kind of vocabulary. But with images, I can connect a new word or phrase to something I can actually **see**.
For example, instead of memorizing *“canopy”* from a vocabulary list, I learn it while looking at an actual canopy. Later, when I see something similar in real life, the word comes back much more naturally.
It feels less like memorizing English and more like gradually learning how to **describe the world around me in English**.
I’ve noticed that my vocabulary—especially my descriptive vocabulary—has expanded a lot since I started doing this.
Has anyone else tried learning English this way?
If you have, what variations of this method worked well for you?

Hi. I’m 29 years old, and I’d like to ask for some advice. How can I learn English at home? I can’t afford a tutor, and I don’t have enough patience for online classes. I can understand written English, but I really struggle with speaking. Do you have any tips on how I could improve my English?
How to improve English? Writing skills and speaking skills?
Hi! I've put together all the phrases that I know that work quite well for english essays! If u know any others lettme know!

Hope you'll find it useful
I'm a student researcher studying how AI tools can help English learners actually improve, not just get corrections. The study is one 45-minute Zoom session: you write a few short emails and paragraphs — half with ChatGPT, half with a browser extension I built that catches your English mistakes and turns them into practice games — then answer some short surveys.
You qualify if you're 18+, a non-native English speaker, and use Chrome. You get a $15 gift card after the session. No names are stored with the data (random codes only, consent form up front, mentored and ethics-reviewed).
DM me if you're interested and I'll send the details!
I work at a company where most meetings are in English. My reading and writing are fine, I can write emails, understand documents, no problem. But the moment I had to speak in a meeting my mind would just go blank. I'd know exactly what I wanted to say in my head but the words wouldn't come out right. I'd either stay silent or say something so broken that I'd feel embarrassed for the rest of the day.
The problem was I had never actually practiced speaking. All my English learning was through textbooks, grammar exercises and watching shows with subtitles. I was consuming English but never producing it.
A few months ago I started using Issen which lets you have real conversations in English and corrects your mistakes in real time. No judgment, no pressure, just talking. I used it every day for about 15 minutes before work.
The difference it made was not instant but after a few weeks I noticed:
• I stopped freezing mid sentence as much • I started thinking in English instead of translating • I became more comfortable with making mistakes because I was used to being corrected • I actually spoke up in two meetings last week
If you are in the same situation I was, the gap is almost always speaking practice. Not more grammar, not more vocabulary. Just actually talking out loud every single day.
Hi everyone, I'm learning advance english, but I feel like I barely know the grammar, it is just too complex for me, can someone give any advice to know the grammar by memory??
I'm a casual English learner. I don't live in a English country and I don't need English in my workplace. I like English songs and movies and TV series, and I use English while traveling. Also, I think language learning is cooool.
I've been considering taking on English tests to push myself learn English better, and to see my progress more clearly. But these tests seems a little boring. Is it really a good way to learn English?
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer!!
Que tal, muy buenas, tengo un nivel básico de inglés, mis areas de reading, speaking, writting siento que son buenas para el nivel que tengo claro, pero mi listening no, siento que es muy muy flojo y no se donde empezar a mejorarlo o como mejorarlo.
Hay personas que dicen que pongas un podcast en inglés y lo escuches, pero como voy a aprender palabras o frases que desconozco como se pronuncian correctamente, tal vez se su significado si lo leo pero al momento de escucharlo me pierdo por la velocidad a la que lo dicen.
Pasa lo mismo con los que dicen que veas una pelicula o una serie en inglés, yo pienso que ahí para aprender tendría que estar pausando casi cada frame para escuchar que dijo, ver el subtitulo y si no entiendo la frase porque no conozco la estructura de la misma buscar el significado y repetirlo hasta que mi cerebro lo memorice, pero estos son pasos que yo pienso que hay que hacer, siempre que leo a gente comentando "Ve serie o pelicula en inglés y ya, facíl", no se si ellos son superdotados que entienden a la primera o son envidiosos y no quieren compartir el paso a paso de como aprender viendo peliculas o series.
Pero bueno, quisiera saber ustedes que hicieron para mejorarlo, cual fue su técnica?.
De antemano, gracias.
It takes about 1,500 words to gain one IELTS band, at least all the way to the C1 level (IELTS 7.0).
It gets much harder after that once we are getting deeper into C1 and toward C2 territory. To gain an IELTS band by going from mid-C1 (IELTS 7.5, 8,400 words) to C2 (IELTS 8.5, 13,100 words), one needs to learn 4,700 new words - 3 times more than for the bands before.
About the BRAVE test: it measures receptive vocabulary (words we understand, but do not necessarily use). The results are in word families (limit, limitation, limitless, etc., are counted as a single family). I made BRAVE and collected the data from people all over the world, with a good share coming from Reddit. I am sharing the results with the English learning community.
Someone who I can talk to daily, voice and chat to help me improve my english. If you're also looking for an english partner, send me a DM
