I can't speak in English fast.


Question Posted Sunday June 1 2014, 2:40 pm

Hi i came from philippines so my language is tagalog.I am sooo very confused about the English grammar especially the present,past and future tense. For example: is,was,been,drink,drank,drunk,ring,rang,rung,sing,sang,sung,swim,swam,swum.etc. And many many more. I think i am going to memorize all of these to make my grammar correct right? Hmm i haven't known people who can teach me on how to speak in english face to face and someone to talked with. All of my friends are tagalog language and they are not good in speaking in english fast too! It takes a minute or an hour every word and if they don't know how to use the grammar well they just forget about it! And say "my nose bleeds" hahaha. Can you give me some an advice to make my English speaking becomes faster?

Moving on. Look in your area and see what English language services may be offered. See if schools offer English classes at night. Do a quick google search and find out if there's any services where you can find an English speaking pen pal. Look for computer programs or classes where you may practice your English as well. English is, unfortunately, a very difficult language to master. These services will help you understand the differences better than you would just by learning on your own.

Proper grammar and the English language do not go well together. Even the people native to the language tend to murder it from a grammar standpoint. It is said that that British and Americans are two people separated by a common language. That is how bad we Americans tend to be with proper grammar. So relax if you make a mistake with grammar and visiting America you will be in good company.

As for learning to speak English faster the only way I know is repetition. To do so would be having a conversation with another English speaking person which you have a problem finding. Since you are able to speak the language you will not have a problem in an English speaking country as most of us will understand it is not your native language. The more you talk with people in the English speaking country you visit the faster you will get.

If it is any help I had the same problem with the little bit of your language I learned while stationed at Clark AFB. I've forgotten it all know but most of the time when I tried to speak your language I generally misspoke. I was usually politely corrected.
