It's what you say when you do something with a flourish.

For example: you bake a very nice cake, and then give it to a friend as a surprise, saying "tada!". It's quite a hard one to understand.

I think you're better off starting English in school than here at Channel 4.

Well, let's start by correcting some mistakes:

>I want to speak and writing English

should be

I want to speak and write English

>I am high scool student .

should be

I am a high school student.

>What mean?

should be

What does it mean?

But otherwise your basic grammar seems to be OK. 英語はがんばってね!

Thank you for an answer, everybody.
I do not seem to have been ready to carry out the English from the basics.
I want to try English hard from the basics.

My writing is not good [same with my native language], but I learned English by watching TV series like Simpsons. I listened what they said and read the translation. We had english at school too, but they do not teach "real" english at school.

I do not try to translate every word and think what is the correct translation. I read the sentence and try to understand the idea of what is being said. Because Finnish language is very different from English, it is not always possible to translate everything word to word, it would not make sense. In fact, when I read/write English - I think in English. To my surprise I sometimes think in English when I do not need to. Sometimes I start saying something in English when I am supposed to speak in Finnish. Silly me.

Reading english comics helps you to learn the language. When I am alone, I also practice pronouncing when I am watching TV.

>>17 wow that was a good practice

every desire to learn had a good motive to start
thats why i try hard to learn Japanese so I can watched raw anime!

watch kiddy english shows like blues clues and dora the explorer
to get exposure or have a personal tutor for constant practice communication

Except don't watch Dora the Explorer. Watch some 1970s Sesame Street or The Electric Company. Something that isn't an insult to kids' TV.
