Maybe the best way is to study abroad. Filipinos speak good English and you can actually find a lot of English classes that cater to foreigners. I myself have met a lot of Koreans who are taking English classes in my school. I think they choose to come here to learn English because it is cheaper than going to the U.S.. Surf the net for English classes for foreigners in the Philippines. Try to go to the University of the Philippines (U.P.) website and contact them through email or phone, you choose. There are other schools offering English classes for foreigners, however. U.P. is just one of them. Good luck! :)

When you say rate, I automatically think of which is best. I can't answer that question nor do I think anyone else can. However, what I can tell you is the use of each language (at least approximations). Read on for more details and check the sources as it's a pretty interesting question to answer...\n\nThis question is a very interesting one that has a rather complicated answer.  Estimates of how many people speak a language are quite general and can vary considerably.  For example, English estimates vary from 275 to 450 million, Spanish from 150 to over 300 million, Hindi from 150 to 350 million, and Russian from 150 to 180 million.\n\nTo further complicate matters, the definition of “speaker” can be vague.  Some surveys of languages give information on native speakers only.  Others count both native speakers and secondary speakers (those who use the language regularly or primarily even though it is not their native language).\n\nLastly, it is important to consider not only the population (number) of language speakers, but also the geographic distribution of these languages.  Some languages have relatively large populations of native speakers but are used almost exclusively in a few countries.  On the other hand, other languages have relatively small populations of native speakers but are used in many different countries as an official or national language.\n\n\nThe World's Most Widely Spoken Languages\n\nAvignon (France) Stop (Arabic) Batik (Thai) Narita Airport (Japan)\n\nClick here to see the full data from Comrie (1998), Weber (1997), and the Summer Institute for Linguistics (SIL) 1999 Ethnologue Survey as well as charts comparing the number of speakers of each language and the number of countries using each language.\n\nWhat are the world's most widely spoken languages?\n\nThis question is a very interesting one that has a rather complicated answer.

I found this on the CIA's world fact book:\n\n"English enjoys associate status but is the most important language for national, political, and commercial communication; Hindi is the national language and primary tongue of 30% of the people; there are 14 other official languages: Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, Urdu, Gujarati, Malayalam, Kannada, Oriya, Punjabi, Assamese, Kashmiri, Sindhi, and Sanskrit; Hindustani is a popular variant of Hindi/Urdu spoken widely throughout northern India but is not an official language"

Short answer: At least 81,520 words.\n\nMuch longer answer: To give a rather rough estimate, I used a wordlist that I have stored on my computer useful for allowing computer programs to recognize English words and determined it's size.  \n\nIt contained 81,520 words.  This is, almost certainly, a lower bound as there are very likely words which the wordlist does not contain yet are words anyway.  Also, it won't detect science-jargon words (for example deoxyribose from DNA would not be included).\n\nHowever, the 81,000 figure ought to cover most commonly-used words.

That is their language, thats why.\nSame reason English uses the same word for 3-4 different things and has the same and sometimes different spellings for the same word.

If English is a second language you already have a lot of diversity going for you.   Just describe your live.

How many words does each person speak in a day?\n\nSay two words a second. A Politician or businessman might speak for three hours a day, and halve that for the other person talking and you have the following......2x60x60x3 equals, say 20,000 divided by 2 is 10,000.\n\n \n\nSo we have ten thousand words a day for a talker. For a lonely Nepalese hill farmer without even an Ox to talk to, he might speak 500 words a day.  There are many more peasants than captains of industry so average it out at 1,500 words a day per person.\n\nMultiply 1,500 words a day by the number of  people, 2,000,000,000 and multiply that by the number of days in 1000years, say 350,000. \n\n \n\nSeems a bit complicated still does it? Alright do ‘rounding up and down’\n\nSay 1,000,000,000 people at 2,000 words per day, answer two thousand billion words, easy. Multiply that by the days, 350,000 rounded up to 500,000 because we rounded down the population pretty severely. \n\nNow 500,000 times two thousand billion. Easy again, halve the two to one and add six noughts......1,000,000,000,000,000\n\n \n\nOne million billion words have been uttered in the last thousand years. Approximately.\n\nYou don’t agree?  Didn’t take your wife into account?  Alright you work it out your way.

For grammar, I recommend using English Grammar in Use (CUP)which is a reference and workbook rolled in one. It has relevant editions for all levels. It's counterpart is English Vocabulary in Use. Personally, I hate coursebookss but you can purchase one if you fancy. Read classic novels (you can start with abridged versions such as the Oxford Bookworms Series) and newspapers as well, my pet magazine is National Geographic. It's also important to focus on listening (BBC, CNN etc.) but you can tune in to radio too, like BBC1 and BBC4. Even if you don't quite understand what1s on, it is still worth listening to English media.
