However, if you go online to learn spoken English with foreigners, you will be astonished to find that thousands of native English speakers are available on Internet every day and they are willing to help you improve your English speaking skills. Through net-voice-chat, you are bound to speak good English with an assistance that you can never expect to be attached by Chinese teachers.
