    Well yes, because I can understand what your saying.

    Just to let you know, it should read:
    Has my English improved?

    Hope that helps a bit :)

    Buy a cheap shortwave radio and listen to the BBC World Service.

    its better to watch than to read books to learn english. Watch english movies because you can here how to pronounce the words right. Lack of vocabulary is disadvantage.. Just keep on practicing

    They speak American English, they 'literally' can't get it wrong. :p

    BBC radio, BBC radio, BBC radio. :D
    You'll hear people from all over the world speaking "English" English.

    You cannot improve your English by posting on internet forums. Forum posters are notorious for bad English (for example using 'your' instead of 'you're').

    strictly speaking you can't. SPM is in British English, and you will be penalized for spelling 'honor' instead of 'honours'.

    i think ur english quite good enough

    maybe there's just lack of confident there, and sometimes there's a different skill between conversation and writing

    take me for instance, i like conversation but i literally sucks at writing, coz sometimes i don't know exactly how to spell an english word

    but what i'm quite sure is, if u got there, just feel confident about ur english, don't ever think about "did i say that right?" or "is my grammar true?" well, just be u, use all your skill, and words you have...

    like that commercial "U are U "

    A great is to use 'skype' you can easily find people to talk to about anything there, so just as long as you are interesting you should get into many conversations.

    Hehe, and now for the shameless self promotion, you can try my website's forum, even though it's mainly geared towards Chinese English learners: daxueyingyu.com/forum

    Good luck! :)
