I did take both of the "most popular" English proficiency test. Which one is best it's agreed generally here that it depends on the purpose of you taking the test. Consider the country that you're going to use the test result for. For USA, TOEFL is more common, for UK, Aus, Eu, IELTS are more widely acceptable.They are both can be compared though. For me IELTS is more real cause the speaking test part you are talking to a person, not a computer. At the end of the day, what matter is whether or not the test result can be accountable and useful for you.

I lived in China for a year, and I did live there to learn the language. It was really fun and a big help to learn the language faster. Currently I live in the states but luckily I am already a fluent English speaker, even though I never live in an English speaking country before.

The key to learn a new language is by using it, everyday. I learnt Chinese when I was at high school for about 3 years and another year in college but only once a week in the class and it brings me nowhere. Then I decide to go to China and take course there, and it took me about a month to grab all the basic because like it or not when I was there people there don't really speak English so you are "forced" to speak it. Even the teacher (other than the admission office officer) don't speak English. TO become fluent in speaking give it 3 months then you can start to understand what people say around you, maybe not completely understand but the important part to carry a conversation. However, if you would like to be 100% fluent like your native language it will take about a year. I think the length is also depend on what language that you learn.

In junior high, English is a compulsory subject for us in Indonesia. Other than English, only in the 2nd year we were taught Japanese. I took that seriously during the class, however I didn't learn it further after it is no longer a subject. I kinda regret that I didn't follow it up cause now even though I can some part of Japanese conversation, I can't communicate well with them. Believe it or not, learning foreign language and being able to use it well will always give advantage for you. Doesn't matter if you don't really use it in daily life but when you travel or meet people who speak that language, it's gonna be an exciting experience

Learning foreign language is very exciting, if I have more time I definitely would love to learn more foreign language Anyway, the languages that I can and want to master are: 1. Bahasa - this is my native language. This is similar to Malay too, so more than just the people in my country that can understand this 2. English (fluent) - well, in general nowadays who doesn't speak English in this world. 3. Chinese (fluent) - this is more to my ancestral background 4. Spanish - I want to learn Spanish because it's sounds so sexy, and it's very good to hear people speaking spanish around me 5. French - the most romantic language (or so it's called)

Hi everyone, I'm Fenica Currently I'm really interested in learning Spanish and French. I am an Indonesian, and a fluent English and Chinese speaker. Learning foreign language always attracts me, and it's just really fun to learn. So if any of you would like to exchange to learn Bahasa or Chinese, I'd be more than happy to learn some French or Spanish
