hai, pn. Rahmah...do u still remember me?!..haha^^
btw, i need ur help!!
i'm having pronunciation problem!!..i think most probably is because of my accent and i seldom using English to communicate..i couldn't pronounce some words accurately..
so, mdm, do u have any suggestions or ideas on how to improve frm tat? 

My response:

hi ________
how are u?
of course i remember u. the best way to speak well is to listen to how others speak (good speakers of course). as a student i used to be amazed at how people say words!! so listen to the deejays, listen to the newscasters and English programmes more ok. if u have a language lab in  u should use it. listen to the listening practice materials. and yes u must speak the language more often ok.
