This coming saturday, there will be a seminar starting from 1pm, held by Jerry in this location. -singapura(singapura); 2006-2-18 (#2790282@0)

Thanks a lots. I mean the way Jerry Dai used maybe good for his age(20 ys), For us(30 ys), maybe not so userful. -forrest_gump2222(阿飞); 2006-2-19 (#2792821@0)

And this guy is very good at speech, that is what i worry about. -forrest_gump2222(阿飞); 2006-2-19 (#2792831@0)
I have made it through. Already there are people who mistook me as local when I speak English to them on the phone. I believe we in 30's can make it too, as long as you really pay attention to your pronounciation. -singapura(singapura); 2006-2-19 (#2792849@0)

I think you are mistaking us.I do not believe you can fluently communicate with local people without any problem after few lessons. you are kidding -freeslider(freeman); 2006-2-20 (#2794375@0)
Moreover pronounciation is not the most important, some indian brothers who have accent may communicate well with local people. Only in my opinion, the way to think in English is important. -freeslider(freeman); 2006-2-20 (#2794409@0)

What can I say? Don't get me wrong. I never took any English class, nor am I advocating for Jerry. But I believed him, because I have a lot of similar exp. in making my speaking and pronounication precisely Canadian.Can you not believe other people can do things that you cannot do yet? I believe you're smart too. It's that you don't believe and you don't try hard. If you can leave your phone number, we find out how to achieve that. I have a lot of experiences in overcoming typical Chinese pronounication problems and the Canadian ways of speaking. -singapura(singapura); 2006-2-20 {340} (#2794699@0)

The esiest way of "overcoming typical Chinese pronounication problems" is to adopt some NOT-THAT-TYPICAL Chinese pronounication problems.. :-D...Seriously, that's what many people do -fatbean(Knock'em dead); 2006-2-20 (#2794749@0)

Oh, sorry buddy for mistaking you here, I participate this topic becasue I have the same aim with you to achieve.I like to get advice from expert, here is my cellphone 416-802-5188, Andy. I am eager to
make my english through . -freeslider(freeman); 2006-2-20 {117} (#2794814@0)

Thanks to Grace and Freeman. I brielfly talked with you guys today. I had a great English conversation with Grace in particular.While you guys seem to think making your talk clear is your next step to take, I am more focused on making my pronouciation more Canadian day by day. Of course, there is no end to improving English communication skills. It takes a whole lifetime. And that's true for learning anything perfect. -singapura(singapura); 2006-2-21 {294} (#2797315@0)

口音的问题，我觉得跟个人努力程度有关，跟环境有关，跟天分也有很大的关系。不用说英语，很多在上海生活的几十年的人还不会说上海话。我还是觉得意思表达清楚了比口音更重要。在这个基础上，如果重音，语调能掌握好了，还更容易让别人听懂你。当然，我也正在这方面努力，但我知道这不是短时间内能解决的，我也不会花费过多的精力在上面。我倒觉得时间长了，口音自然会被当地人同化，不过不同的人同化程度不同。 -haoxia74(haoxia); 2006-2-21 {310} (#2797561@0)

Most of your points make sense. But I have a different perspective on your last point. -singapura(singapura); 2006-2-21 {610} (#2797747@0)

That's true. And that's my point. So it also has to do with individuals. Some people like to change. Some do not.That's why so many people can not speak Shanghainese after living there for 40 or 50 years. For me, I like new things, I like changes. I may never be able to sound like a native speaker. I believe I will sound more like them over time --- a long period of time. :-) -haoxia74(haoxia); 2006-2-22 {268} (#2798073@0)

To be honest, Terry is a smart guy, but he's a terrible, terrible English teacher - he doesn't know how to teach at all. -lovefuture(the Brick); 2006-2-22 {877} (#2800303@0)

Interesting experience. But I advise you not to spend any money on English any more.I have to agree to what you said, becaues I don't have any experience with his course. I only listened to his seminars and some of his seminar recordings. I feel he has really broken it through in his own way, but perhaps it doesn't work for other people. I think you don't have to spend money on English. Language is a natural skills, you can fly on your own. -singapura(singapura); 2006-2-23 {363} (#2800537@0)

Hi pal, I said Jerry is smart, but here what we're discussing is Jerry's class, not Jerry himself - I attended his class and share the information to people, but you didn't! Jerry seems your hero! -lovefuture(the Brick); 2006-2-23 {1178} (#2800726@0)

No offense, my friend. I said I agree with you. I am not kidding you at all. I just sincerely think there is no need to spend any money. Where did you get the idea that I am making Jerry as an idol?I don't have to and I will not. I believe I myself can already speak as good as him. It's that I just don't understand why you have to spend money on any class. You can live with no regret if you didn't take his course in the place. OK, I don't want to burn my energy on endless dispute. That's it for me. -singapura(singapura); 2006-2-23 {311} (#2800865@0)

Now ti's much better, and I believe you're not a 新概念的托! -lovefuture(the Brick); 2006-2-23 (#2801144@0)

I mean, I believe you're not a 新概念的托 JUST A BIT! -lovefuture(the Brick); 2006-2-23 (#2801155@0)

shill, “托”:-) Thank you for sharing your experience. -haoxia74(haoxia); 2006-2-23 {904} (#2801336@0)

Awesome! I've been been looking for good way to learn E, and got much improvement. Obviously, it's a long term to reach perfect language for us.Now i'm not so ambitious, and restrict my E-learning goal to what makes my job and life better. I mean, whatever I learn from teacher, TV, book..., in a period, can make myself more competent for higher-rate job, and get better life, that proves my current learning is successful, and I start to move on to next step and goal.
Welcome to share more on that, and let's make meaningful progresses together. -lovefuture(the Brick); 2006-2-23 {407} (#2801380@0)
