Hello Eliza!
Congratulations on wanting to learn english! As the years go by, it seems to be progressing to become a very popular language! No matter what job that you will have, english will always be a nice perk.
If you have any questions, or just want someone to talk to to become more fluent, feel free to write to me!
Yours truly, Megan Very Happy

Hello Liza. I am a school teacher from America. Let me hear from you.
You asked for help so here is a correction from your post. You said,"Please tell me the way speaking English". You should say, "Please tell me how to speak English". I hope this helps.

Two Japanese people I know once told me, "To learn English, you have to forget all about Japanese." They mean that it's not enough to know only English vocabulary and grammar. You also have to teach your mind how to think like an English speaker. Coming from Japanese, some of the hardest things to master are the little things like articles (a/an/the) and other connecting words. Learning how to use these will help your English sound more smooth and less "foreign." (For instance, another correction would be "I'm a Japanese girl, not "I'm Japanese girl.") You can check the hints listed on this website for help on that. Also, keep practicing and exposing yourself to the language, in the written or spoken form.
