    English is not my mother tongue ,so I dont express myself well.It's hard to me on internet marketing.

    Just practice your english - watching movies and doing affiliate marketing and you'll get better with time. English is not my native language as well and I feel I improved my English a lot since I started doing some internet marketing about an year ago.

    I think you are doing pretty well. By hanging around the forum, reading and posting you will learn as you go anyway. I think getting involved and being active at a place like this is a great way to learn.

    Watching Hollywood movies in ENGLISH is one of the best way.

    As you will also be able to speak in that ascent ! :)

    Visiting forums like DP might also help you !

    Good Luck !!

    My native language is English. I don't have much advice besides the original: 'practice makes perfect.'

    Read alot of books, go for english classes etc. You can never do internet marketing unless your english is good. Worst case scenario get someone to write your stuff for you.

    I've just started learning ASL about 4 months ago. It's harder than I thought. You have a lot of written English immersion on the internet. Just read a lot of news or articles written by people with a mastery of the written word. Imitate them and not the majority of forum posters.

    No, English isn't my native language. And I am not much good at it Or am I?

    I can talk to other people much better and understand them. I can also speak it pretty good.

    I don't know where did I learn it from :D. But I did watch movies, play games and chat to other people on MSN.

    Thanks

    Native- no, Primary- Yes. I hope that answers some part of your question. The best way to improve English is to communicate with those who speak English, in English. Make it a point to talk to people over IM in English. Read a lot, watch a lot of English flicks (preferably those with transcripts of dialogs) and you should be on your way to speaking better English

    Hey Don I never knew you are Gujrati (I am also from Gujrat, Kutchh).
    English is my fifth language (after Kutcchi, Gujrati, Hindi and Marathi), my English is also not very good, gradually practicing by writing, reading, and watching (news channels etc.), it is improving.
    Yes I do believe it is not impossible as said by Don.
