Hi Hani Claire Ed Charles Kevin Briana Oshiro and so many more, Hani,warm welcome to the groups! Thanks for your willingness to help other members!:)

Please note that I don't mean it's a good thing as a permenant state,but it's a necessary stage of it... Sorry that I don't have much time to explain the details to you now... Please allow me to give you the links to 5 articles 'The Informed Student' written by Warren: (They can be found at the homepage of esl podcast together with other helpful links to live chat,entertaining videos,and etc accumulated by ED,the moderator:)) http://groups.google.com/group/eslpodcast/web/pages?hl=en If you have further questions,feel free to ask me or anyone else available here!;) Good day to you all, Pln On Aug 3, 10:53 pm, "hani hammadeh" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Ed and all, > > Ed you said we need to practice conversation alone ,how ?! > Actually till now I can't find the correct way to grow myself in English . > I go to websites and see video conversations, but it's just a template. > It make me think as a machine (when you have this case do like this > Or use these words ). > Or shall I need to read more and more. > > Thanks > Hani > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of claire > Sent: Monday, August 03, 2009 4:26 AM > To: ESL Podcast > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: [ESL Podcast] Re: Hello!... and Make Learning English a Habit > > Hi Pablo Charles Ed Hani Pln and all, > > Pablo,your wife is going to be an expert on IT!!! > That's very impressive for someone like me who has no slightest clues > about IT.LOL > > Charles,if only life was so simple! > Tell me what in life or at work can be learned by just reading one > book!LOL > > Do you think people who read Bible every day lead a peaceful and > carefree life without any doubts or hardship??? > > That has to be the laugh of the year so far that there are too many > books to read and thinking too much serves us no good.LOL > > We can't blame our disturbed mind or unsolved issues on books,nor can > we blame our blindness to see the core of the problems on our efforts > for trying to think harder!LOL > > You only can think too much or in vain when you dwell on the same > problem from the same angle...;) > > And Ed,I agree with you that if we want to be fluent while interacting > with a native speaker,we need to learn all the proper usage of word > collocations,idioms,etc.:) > In doing so,we can limit the possibilities of misunderstandings and > awkwardness.;) > > Of course,the larger your vocabulary is,the better for your > comprehension of the language like Hani said.;) > > Well,I hope I'm not 'out of the line' here,and hope Pln will agree > with me on this,as well!LOL > Did I use the expression correctly? > > Good start of the week,everyone! > Claire > On Aug 3, 4:30 am, Eduardo Costa <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Hani, > > > vocabularies is so much related with the subject and we can learn more > > reading > > related texts. > > > I think that the biggest challenge in English conversation is to express > > your thinking in a correct way > > and to do that justing practicing (alone or together). > > > Take care > > > Ed > > > 2009/8/3 hani hammadeh <[email protected]> > > > > Hi Pablo > > > Learning English by listening to conversations is good but we need also > > > more > > > vocabularies > > > We need vocabularies to use it in our daily life. > > > BTW if you need any help regarding to IT, Guys here can help you. > > > > Thanks & Best wishes > > > > Hani > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > On > > > Behalf Of Pablo > > > Sent: Sunday, August 02, 2009 3:48 PM > > > To: ESL Podcast > > > Subject: [ESL Podcast] Re: Hello!... and Make Learning English a Habit > > > > Hello old friends and new ones! > > > > Thank you Pauline for the email :) I just want to say a big hello and > > > thank you for everything.
