      Where do you live, or do you have something else in mind besides private lessons?

      Why native speakers only?

      First of all, I live in Zielonka. And I just want to improve my spoken and
      written English - that's all I want. I think I need a good and very patient
      teacher - native speaker only, because I want to learn a British accent. I like
      it very much! Nothing all, really!

          What about native speakers in USA, Ireland, Australia - do they have different
          language?

            No, of course. I just like British speech and accent.

              How can someone learn pronounciation through the internet? The British accent
              is very funny. So I assume you want to be a funny guy.

                Fony, just like you.

                I am NOT going to learn English on the Internet. I am thinking about lessons
                face to face. I also think that it is a stupid idea looking for a
                teacher/native speaker over the Internet. I like British accent, because I am
                interested in British Islands' history, culture and life.

                  Make it your homepage and listen to it as often as you can:
                  www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/

                  you'll need RealPlayer for some broadcasts but it's free. Plenty of your
                  favourite accent(s), too.

                  hi there,
                  well, maybe I could turn out to be a solution to your problem. I am native
                  Polish yet my accent seems British enough to make Brits ask what part of UK I'm
                  from.. well, we could call it a gift or a fluke, whichever.. One thing I am
                  positive about is that you would benefit a lot from our conversations. I've
                  been teaching English for 9 years now, lived in the UK for over 3. Well,
                  anyway, consider my person,
                  cheers

      No native speaker can do the job for you. Of course they can help you produce
      the right sounds, but only if they are qualified teachers or are especially
      gifted in the area of teaching phonetics. Brits can tell you that you're doing
      something wrong, but can't specify what you could improve, as their speech
      organs function in a different way.

      The truth is that if you haven't picked up the right accent watching TV or
      listening to the radio/songs, then nothing will help you.

      If it's hard to believe think about people who have been living abroad for
      years, have daily contact with native speakers, speak entirely English, and
      still can't get rid of the POlish accent...

      Anyway, good luck, you'd better do the work yoyurself.

      Later,
      Kociamama.

        Bloody natives. Not a single one around when needed.


        Good luck
