"I think you are misunderstanding the meaning of "Actually". Anyway, that's quite usual because it is a false friend. Actually means In Fact, not Actualmente (or it doesn't mean Actualmente)

My advice to improve your English is to take advantage of living in a foreing city and to meet local people (in order) to practice! It (or That) is the best way: listening listening listening, making mistakes and correcting them."

remember: to+infinitive

B

Actually: realmente

Now: Ahora or actualmente

#1263 "Will say all of you", "I'm really worse of this [...]", ''[...] I have been making [...]", ''[...] why telling you this [...]".

Try to figure out what's wrong.

#1275 "I need to improve my English // to improve my English skills"

"I" and all the languages (Spanish, English, French, German) with capital letter.

Please, remember the following:

When you use two verbs one right after the other you are going to need either a to or the present continuous. For example:

  • I am going to the beach.
  • I would like to do

Also, you can use 3 verbs if the first one is to be:

  • I am trying to accomplish a very important task.

You CAN'T have 2 verbs without either of those.

Do you guys think if someone could get the Advanced or even the CPE without help??

I mean, without having classes of any kind.

#1283 I wasn't talking about defending himself, but the bike

#1285 Maybe you should try guardian instead. Defender doesn't have the meaning you're trying to imply, it's more of a technical word in the semantic field of court justice.

#1284 Do you guys think if someone could get the Advanced or even the CPE without help??

As response: I think you could, but you'll definitely need some aid regarding pronunciation and grammar errors that you yourself may not be able to detect. It is possible, as a mater of fact I did some CPE exams in class last year (they were old tests that were made available to teachers and so to prepare their students) and I did astonishingly well. I think I got 93% and I did not study at all for the test, just watched a couple of English films (V for Vendetta mostly xd). Granted that by then I knew pretty much the same as I know nowadays regarding English, and knew how to handle myself, but if I could without much effort I'm certain someone else studying hard will be able.

#1282 Why yes, yes I am.

#1286 I watch all movies and read a lot of articles, specially science ones, in English. I understand everything I read or hear and even though there are always some words I don't get, I can take the ideas in the context the words are said.
I think I'm missing a lot of grammar and I don't know how to write a formal letter and things like that, but I'm pretty sure I'd manage to pass the tests with some practice. I love the language, I think it's not really difficult to use once you get used to it.

My writing skills might need an improve though.

#1287 ''might need improving...''

You seem to have quite the extensive knowledge, far better than most people in this forum. Maybe you polish a bit your writing, but overall it's pretty good.

#1288 Hi I am going to Poland in 2014 for erasmus, but I donŽt have the N1 English certificate. I'm planning on studying in the EOI but the prices are hard to find in their webpage. Does anyone know the prices for the EOI at Valencia? Thanks and sorry about my English.
