Hi Charly,

     I suggest that you should watch soundtrack movies. You can learn how they pronounce the words, and you can also imitate their accent by repeating what you hear in the movies. Try to copy the original accent, say those sentences out loud, then you will hear your voice and know you mistakes.

     You can also listen to English songs! This is fun, I've tried it by myself. You can practice your pronunciation through the rhythm and also learn the meaning of the songs!   

     In addition, there are so many websites that you can learn how to pronounce words and sentences, they might teach you the phonetics symbols which help you to pronounce words when you use dictionary.

     The last thing is very important. Speaking out will improve your oral communication skills. When you begin, it might be difficult for you, but if you keep trying you will feel more confident to convey your messages through speaking.

     Remember, practice makes perfect. Good luck Laughing

Work for two months in London.What should you do to improve your english, particularly your speaking skill?

To work in London is one thing, to live and learn English is another thing.The QUICKEST and the most EXPENSIVE way to improve your communication skill in English is to hire a native English tutor.Remember you'll have great opportunity but little time to practice what you learn.Two monts are very short if you want to make some real progress.Although it is quite expensive, I think it is worthy of a try.Grab the chance, Bud.Of course, it all depends on what sort of job you'll do there.Cool
