Hello all friends!
Happy Easter for everyone :) I'm new here and I want to learn English towards advanced level and I'll put some information about the method that I'll follow and the textbooks I'll use. Background I studied English language for many years in the past, but I'm like forget evey thing, then I tried to remember what I've learned by watching TV serials and It really worked! but I miss some grammar and be very confused when I speak to someone. so, I decided to begin all my study again from very beginner level.. Method I read this topic about advanced textbooks and inspired by what all said about to begin learn a language by using various generations of Assimil then move to native textbooks and I really liked the idea! but for English there is no Assimil in my language. so, I'll start right away using native textbooks. Books As I said there is no Assimil in my language then I'll start using the following textbooks: American English file Listen to podcasts at normal speed. the sources should be as varied as possible. Read newspaper articles out loud. Speak Writing 185 TOEFL Writing Goal My simple goal is to reach "hopefully" advanced fluency. I know it's a big goal but I'm really need to learn English to this level because I want to prove that I can learn a language even to advanced level, and because English is a key language to other language that I want to study in the future, beside all Assimil books written in either English or French - that's why the French is my next language:)- My best wishes to you all to reach your own goals in your beautiful languages! roberto Edited by roberto7 on 07 June 2013 at 9:08pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi!
I'm back:) Side by Side 1-4 (A1-B1+) The good thing about these books, They have a lot of drills - which I need it!- Word by word: contains about 4000 words, when I finish learning of it, I'll move to the 4000 Essential English Words "They cover at least 80% of the words in newspapers and academic texts, and at least 90% of the words in novels." Listen to podcasts at normal speed. the sources should be as varied as possible. Read newspaper articles out loud. (People is a very interesting magazine for everyday English) Speak If I can, I'll read the complete Harry Potter novels and its audio books! :) It has a very exciting authors, plus It's available in many languages. roberto Edited by roberto7 on 25 May 2013 at 7:56pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Nice log! You seem to be on the right way towards your goal, I wish you success and a lot
of fun on the way. After all, there is no other language with so much fun material to watch. For British English, which seems to be the only without representant on your tv series list, I recommend Doctor Who. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
