If you want to learn any language well, you need to live among the people who speak that language. Books will help, but they aren't going to do it all the way.

Make sure you live in the area of the dialect that you want to learn. For example, the English spoken and understood in New York City is way different than English spoken along the southern border in Texas. People almost don't understand each other. And Australian English is almost like another language.

Cool

Bumping the topic, today, as my way to say good bye to the 2018 bearish year.
Once again, I hope that the topic is helpful for non-native English speakers. Hope that they will use some of those give books in order to improve their English skills, writing and reading in particular.
Finally, they can be able to compose better posts/ threads, and better fully express their ideas to join discussions and help others (later).

Good bye, 2018!

Thanks for your compliments.
What a helpful collections, especially for non-native English speakers! I would prefer to start with those collections on English Grammar in use, which might help me to express my ideas more correctly, easier to understand for readers. Thanks for your initiatives.

Hi Rosilito,
I will consider carefully about your suggestion and might move my topic or might not.
By the way, I highly recommend you to read the following topic in order to avoid pyramid quotes for your future threads.
Tips for newbies, who want to avoid over-quoting
Pyramid quotes have already mentioned by Theymos or forum moderators (I don't remember exactly) that should be avoided as much as possible.
I recommend to move this topic in Guidelines stuff there. Since, new comers and also the people who are searching for help probably would go there.

You are welcome, Jet Cash.
Honestly, you, TMAN, and iasenko have affected the way I use the forum. All of you motivated me a lot via your threads and topics.
Thanks for mentioning the Fit to Talk project

Thanks for mentioning the Fit to Talk project, and that seems to be picking up slowly. I've also had some interest inthe Spanish/English translation project that is associated with it, and this gives members with the relevant skills and application a chance to pick up a few merits. It also helps the Bitcoin Talk forum by bringing Spanish crypto experiences into the Ivory Tower for the benefit of the English speakers. It has been suggested that I add an Italian translation board to the project, and I think that this could be interesting. So many English words have Latin origins, that it could be helpful for people learning English.

Thank you for bringing it out. I'm Indonesian, happy to share my experience and how I learnt and improved my English skills here.

First, It's really hard for me to learn English because my lack is reading. I've only got elementary English skills and some vocabularies. I used sederet.com to translate some words or make a sentence in English. I'm on that site while chatting with someone. Second, I found Duolingo's app on Playstore. It's fun and the best way to learn English I think. But it still not enough to get in touch with Foreigners. Third, I met a Foreigner for a business (first foreigner I ever met). Unforgattable moment for me because I've got nervous and mind-blanking. I spoke with the Foreigner by using body language without saying no word. Pity!

The important things that we need to improve our English skills are read books, be brave to practice it, and learn from mistakes.

I highly appreciate the invaluable collection, which is very helpful for me to learn and improve my English.
I woud prefer those books on grammar in use, because they will help me to compose better threads that are easier for readers to understand my ideas.
After that, vocabularies in uses will help me to make my threads a little bit more ornate.

What an awesome thread. I've just downloaded a couple of vocabulary and the advanced grammar one and they are amazing books, thanks for sharing this!!

I just realized I have many grammar misuses! I totally agree with The Pharmacist regarding grammar, and also, to watch movies is far from being enough if you want to learn how to write properly in English. I taught myself by reading some good books I used to read many times in my language and then I jumped into the English version and tried to understand them. That's how I learned 'till now, I think this is time to begin to study, but I didn't have the resources. Now I have them.
So, Thanks!!

Hi everyone,

Today, I would like to share with you links to bunches of books, which might help non-native English speakers to improve their English skills.
It is a great books, but I am too lazy for them, I prefer not to force myself to learn, but do it in easy and natural way, by watching serials for exemple, or by simply reading this forum, it is obviously much longer way, but you'll never get tired from such learning Smiley

Did you purchase it? I also don't know if it is right but i think giving credits to your sources might be the right thing to do. Unless you where the one who created those.

It is newer a crime to still for learning! (And also the same rule applies to video games).

Exactly!
If someone is motivate enough to learn , he can easily find the sources to learn.

Thanks for the information.
Here you go, Wren and Martin High School English grammar (click on the image to download the book).
I also added this one into the thread specifically created for grammar books.

Personally, I think that Wren and Martin can be a good book for someone to start with.
