I'm self taught, no one teaches me how to speak English. Both of my parents are not English speakers, and Yes my " Gwammur " is terrible, but i can learn my own mistakes.
Edit. I think TV taught me how to speak English XD

Zeroniv, you should probably do what your parents did to you teach you English. Since you're writing in really good English I mean.My own suggestion is to read them simple English storybooks for children and let them read along with you. And watch English kid-friendly cartoons.
For us Indonesian, writing is our strongest point for majority of the people, but when it comes to speaking English, we go through some hard times. There are many that can write better than English speaking people, but not many that can actually speak English as well as what they write.
What problems can they possibly have in speaking English if their written English is perfect? Is it the accent? I think it's natural for Indonesians to have a slight accent when speaking English. Applies to non-native English speakers from around the world too.
As long as you're grammatically correct and pronounce words clearly in speech, I think it's not a problem.
Disclaimer: I too am not a native English speaker. But I speak English a lot more than my mother tongue.
It isn't just as simple of learning the syntax. If people could speak perfectly as their syntax, then Japanese people would not have much difficulty speaking English. But they do have difficulty with speaking because English has a much larger variety of sounds compared to Japanese. So for me, being an English speaker, because I have a larger sound bank than a Japanese person does, speaking Japanese is somewhat more easy whereas with me speaking German, it is more similar English therefore instead of making new habits I must alter my normal ones. By forcing myself to alter how I would normally speak, in real time it would make me sound off.

Just keep on talking to him/her/it in English until the baby gets it.
If not, then don't feed it until it does so. That will teach him/her/it.

I am amazed that my mind was able to translate that (okay, not really, I got help from my old Eng-Chi, Chi-Eng dictionary).That's true also for my family, except they speak 咱侬è¯, which is a variation of ç¦ä½¬è¯ instead of ä¸æ–‡.
If only I knew the pin yin (or what ever) of 咱侬è¯, I would have put a straight sentence here.
Yeah, I only really know Mandarin, sorry!
Well, either way, it makes life learning Nihongo easier.
I'm taught simplified Chinese but I've been watching too much Taiwan news so I understand Traditional Chinese better...
