    Hello,

    few day's ago i read from this program and i think it's very interesting.
    When i speak English, the people know what i mean, i can read books (book's for children ;D )
    newspapers or this forum :) . But i can't read a science magazine and my ability to spell isn't very good.

    I think, the best way to improve my English is to live for a longer time in a country like the USA.

    My big question: How good i have to be in English?

    I'm not really an expert but from what I learned in my my research I believe they just want good coversational english. So I'd say as long as they can understand you its fine. They don't expect wonders with your english if its not your first language. Hope this helped or if it did't hopefully someone else will have saomje advice for you ... good luck.

    writting that in your cv was actually a really good idea ... I am fortunate enough that English is my first language but I can only imagine how difficult it is worrying about wheter or not your English is good enough.

    Ya that can be one of the reasons your interested in the program is to inprove your english. You have to have enough to get by in the job. You will be around people each day who you will need to be able to understand when they speek and be able to reply properly to them. As long as you feel confident enough you can do your job in that respect they wont mind if a few minor words arnt exactly how we speek.

    English is a hard one to learn. One that I think to ever get a good grasp on you need to live where it is more dominent. Yet it still is very diffrent no matter where you live. As you will notice in the program I am sure. The UK will speek english a bit diffrently then thoese from Canada and the US, who at times have their own diffrent slang from eachother as well.
