Why my english remain suck?

I still don't know why my English remain suck in both writting and speaking. After 3 years of ambitious to mastering this language, all i can see is my performance remain static.

All tips suggested by friends, and online community already done. From read a newspaper, sing and listen an english songs, participate in english forums like lowyat.net and chip.com.my, none of it contribute to upgrade my level.

Verb, conjunction, preposition and even noun.. i really don't understand about it and how it function. I dont know whether i'm stupid or the language itself suck. Bahasa Malaysia grammar is a lot easier compared with english grammar. Why the community who create this language did not create it as easy as Bahasa Malaysia? I hate those Mat Salleh... they put me in a serious trouble.!

I should postpone the Mainstream English course a year more. I'm not yet prepared. I think i cannot score more then 3.00 on this subject. Well, it is my own mistake.

Recently i just finished downloading Microsoft Students 2006 software from http://www.piratebay.org and i found the software may help me to understand more about this language, at least at Basic level which i'm not even reach it right now.

Sometimes i'm jealous, why some people can write english properly, know how to compose sentences and make reader endeur to read more. For example this blog http://www.lindamunshi.blogspot.com i found through google. I love her writting style and i wish i can be like her.

Dear reader.. can you suggest where to find partner to talk in english? Chat room? On a street?....

I need help... HELP ME!!

don't give up, dude. keep on with the papers, books, songs, etc. etc. but most importantly, you got to write and speak the language most of, if not, all the time. while it does help to understand the "technicalities" of the language, i.e. grammar, sometimes, after you've gotten so used to the language from all the reading, writing, talking, singing, etc., you will know that a sentence is right or wrong just from the way it "sounds".

DON'T GIVE UP! all the best, chief! :)

Hi Izhar,

Yes, I do agree with you, your English needs working on.

Perhaps the best way to fix it is by speaking English with your friends/family. This is definitely a difficult thing to do, especially when your friends and family already speak with you in casual Bahasa Malaysia.

Oh, and I disagree with you. I've been speaking English since I was a kiddo and I've never had any troubles with grammar. On the contrary, I struggle with my Bahasa Malaysia.

So yeah... the best way is to speak English. I know this is possible, I have many Malay friends who converse in excellent English simply because they were brought up speaking dual languages (Both bahasa Malaysia and English were given equal priority).

Best of luck :)

Oh! I just remembered an old trick a close friend of mine used to do. While watching English movies/shows, try and narrate what each character is saying. Follow every word they say (would be great if you had english subtitles to read off) and try to understand what each phrase mean :)

I don't think writing a blog is going to improve your grasp on a language. You're going to keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again, and the great likeliness of it all is that no one is going to nitpick over all your mistakes to help you see where you went wrong.

A by-product of a society that closes one eye to faults of one another? What you need is someone willing to help rewrite whatever you're gonna type, and note the differences.

That said, I can't imagine learning anything new unless someone is willing to be an asshole and correct every sentence you make.

I hope I didn't sound like a complete dick saying all that.

Jalan Jalan di Cherating

P etang Jumaat yang lalu, akudan kroni kroni pejabat telah berjalan - jalan di Cherating. Seperti biasa acara acara seperti ini memang akan dilakukan setahun 2 kali oleh kroni - kroni ini. Tahun lepas ke genting dan ke Port Dickson. Tapi yang aku pasti, sesen pun aku tak keluarkan utnuk perbelanjaan inui kecuali duit Rokok, Tol dan Petrol sahaja. Aku, Tahir, anak Tahir, dan Fareez bertolak awal dengan rancangan untuk memancing di sana sampai muntah. Tapi malangnya Fareez tak berminat memancing... namun atas dasar kroni, dia terpaksa pergi awal juga sebab ini sahaja team bujang yang tinggal. Mujurlah hj. Sazul tetiba pon ada plan nak pergi awal, maka dapatlah book satu bilik awal untuk Fareez. Kami bertolak daripada PJ kira kira pukul 6.30Ptg atas janji bertolak pukul 5 petang. Dalam perjalanan Fareez buleh pula bertekak dengan girlpren dia dan suruh kitorang semua senyap.. aku rasa panas je... lagi sikit aku nak suruh dia berenti dan turunkan aku sebab awek punya pasal kawan kawan pon

APa itu ikan Lais?

Pertama kali aku balik ke kg Girlfriend aku, bakal pak mentua aku memperkenalkan aku kepada ikan lais. 1st time aku mendengar ikan tersebut. Khabarnya tak banyak sungai di Malaysia yang mempunyai ikan ini. Rasanya sungguh sedap. Ntahlah, mungkin aku nie jenis yg tak memilih makanan, tapi bagi aku ikan lais ini amatlah sedap walaupun aku sendiri belum pernah merasa makan lampam, sebarau, tengas, jelawat kelah apatah lagi. Harap suatu hari ini aku dapat makanlah ikan - ikan ini. Tapi aku tak sangka, ikan lais ini ianya salah satu daripada spesis keli juga. Keli lutsinar. Sebab tu dalam bahasa omputih ianya dipanggil 'Glass Catfish'. Ini gambar ikan tu kalau hidup di dalam akuarium. Bawah ini pulak gambarnya yang telah digoreng di rumah aku. Hmmm tapi sodap laie kalau digoreng di Felda Keratong 3. Hehehe.. Dear my butang... opss tunang.. thank you for the ikan... I lappppppp youuu...

Khalwat? Pretty? and Tudung?

KOTA BARU: A 21-year-old university student was yesterday fined RM1,200 for committing khalwat (close proximity) with one of Kelantan’s imported football stars. Farrah Aina Safian Sauri, 21, from the International Islamic University (IIU), pleaded guilty to committing Source NSTP online : Uouch!... Unbelieveable.. how can a cute girl like this been cought for khalwat offence? By looking at her face and style, i though she at least an ordinary good girl. Pity her, why she need to do such act? It is true what people always said.. 'don't judge books by its cover', kekeke.. chances for cute girl like her to become 2nd hand stuff is quite high. That's why some of elders i met said a girl which not have pretty face, may be pretty at other hers other side, because no one will touch it. (But I don't agree with the quote 100%, because i once had saw unpretty girl who had unpretty attitude and may contribute for being 2nd hand stuff :p) I know girls with 'tudung'
