i mean...i will choose the language which the person i am talkin to feels most comfortable with. thus i usually will take the ppl's 1st dialect or 1st language(provided i can speak that language). i feel like doing so......but the types of languages i command is far too few......

Hi all,
Like everybody here, i am eager to improve my english, especially oral english.
I agree that meeting regularly in one place is a good idea for practising english. But the problem is, it is quite tough to set a fits-all time and venue. Therefore, my suggestion is that we add each other in the MSN contact list, and once we meet in there, just try to chat in english via microphone. Since somebody, especially female, are afraid to meet strangers, chatting via micro phone is really a safe, cost-effective and flexible way to improve english communication skills.
How do your guys think about it?
BTW, my hotmail is: <a href="mailtattachmlp@hotmail.com" target="_blank" >attachmlp@hotmail.com</A>
Hope to chat with your in the near future.

Having browsed this forum section for long time, a new comer here would like to throw two cents, may we organize regular english corner at scheduled place to create more opportunities for people to brush up their communication skills? English is only communication vehicle, most importantly, how do you convey your ideas in concise and clear way to your audiences would be a big challenge even to native speakers? 
If you favor it, cast your vote now. Let me see how many people intend to jump onto the bandwagon. Afterwards, we can create one group only for english enthusiasts. [em02][em06]</DIV>
agree...
