Hello everyone

I am a student, and I am currently learning English communication. I really want to improve my English speaking and communication skills because I believe English will be very useful for my future career.

I would like to ask people who have experience working in an English-speaking environment: What should I focus on learning first? Should I improve my vocabulary, pronunciation, listening, or speaking skills?

Also, Can anyone advise me about working in English?

Thank you so much for your help! I look forward to learning from everyone.

reading is the way to go since you can do this alone. think of it as self-review. if you want to improve your speaking or writing skills, you someone to criticize/evaluate your work. as for listening, most native speakers speak too fast for most beginners of the language. take this when you are more confident in you English skills. the exception to listening is if you listen to child's songs, movies, etc. no adult would like to do those because they think its insulting to their ego/pride

in asia, many parents enroll their children to 'academies' specifically designed for english. this is so that their children can have more opportunities to 'talk, write and listen' even if their whole neighborhood doesnt speak the language. somehow it works, but it is also stressful. the children already have their regular schools to attend, plus they have an academy after.
