English Speaking Exercise
Hi Martin, I couldn't SPEAK or understand ???? We use speak when referring to a language. I speak English. I am talking to you about this. IT is also correct to say I am speaking about this. But it is not correct to say I talk English.
I couldn't catch that word after you said understand...
I started TO improve
You speak very well.
Hi Martin. Very good indeed - fluent and easy to understand.
Hello Martin, you have spoken fairly well.
It might help you to write some notes for any future exercises where you have to speak without a script being provided.
Martin you have a very nice voice and speak well. It is basically easy to understand you. I had a little difficulty with the phrase after "I couldn't talk or understand" but after a few times I got it; it is "from listening to." I could not speak or understand English from listening (to it). I started to improve my English since the beginning of the March.
And, obviously your effort has been worthwhile!
A native English speaker would say ... I started to study to improve my English at the beginning of last March Very well done. I could not understand what you said right after speak or understand... Everything else was good ( I have a brother named Martin-now I know how to say his name in Polish!) Keep studying, you are doing well.
Your English accent is great; everything was very clear and accurate.
"I started to improve my English at the beginning of March." - because this is one, completed action.
Or you can say "I have been improving my English since the beginning of March." - this is a continuing process.
Well done!
In Polish we pronounce it '.....' do not say 'like'
I have lived in Warsaw for a long time.
I couldn't speak or understand every day language
...... so I started to improve my English at the begining of last March.
Well spoken and pronounced. Due to my hearing problem I could not understand the 3 or 4 words after 'I live in Warsaw long....'
Very well done!
My name is Martin. In Polish we pronounce it as Marchen. I live in Warsaw, Poland, the European Union.
I work mainly as an electronics engineer. I know the technical language, but I could not speak or understand (____?___), so I started to improve my English at the beginning of March.
I understood everything except the missing word/s above.

Good, keep on going!
Ryba, Much better the second time around. GOOD WORK!
Very good work! It's easy to understand your English! Bravo!
Very good pronunciation.
There were a few words that I didn't quite understand. However, I think you are doing quite well with your speaking.
Martin,
I listened to the older version and the new one. I will comment on the new one. It was very good! (I didn't find the old one that difficult to understand, either, but this one is even better.)
Honestly, I don't hear any words that need to improve. In my opinion, it is all very clear and lovely to listen to. It's very good! Congratulations!
