text: where to go if i wanna learn english? hi!!  i'm a person who want to learn english. now i live in korea(which is my country) but after 1month, i will go to new york. so i wanna learn english from now on, so that when i go there i could communicate with people without difficulty.  so is there any web-site that i can learn english? i wanna learn somewhat difficult, so that i could improve faster.   and other question... when i go to new york, i will go to esl(english as a second language). but that class is made for foreigners. so being there, there are only not good enlish people..(i'm sorry not being good at english, so you might don't understand what i'm saying) so where can  i make friends who is fluent of english?  i wii be very thankful if you answer.  thank you. i came to the us seven years ago knowing only the basic english. how i learned was simply by talking to as many people as you can! no matter what, where or with who. actually, the more varied, the better.  your esl class will help a lot in teaching you the basics in grammar, semantics, etc. but you have to do the rest by talking to people, reading and mostly believe it or not watching tv! *one of the best things to have is a small korean-english dictionary always with you. try to think in english, and whenever you come accross a word that you don't know, look it up. then try to remember it. *watch tv, you will learn a lot of english phrases. keep the radio on. repeat the words out loud! *talk to people. *learn 5 new words everyday and practice them.  it is not difficult to learn a language if you really want to learn it, and if you surround yourself with it.  good luck! :)
