You're looking for an English speaking pen pal to help teach you the language? This is a gaming forum, and a lot of people here barely speak English well enough to help you with this.
Read Harry Potter in English. JK Rowling has a good flow with words.
For writing in English I write in a very break it down kind of way online.
Without changing your words I made paragraphs with the focus on the current point you were making for each one.
Trust me on reading Harry Potter for a better grasp of the language.
i respect your ability to push into university despite not having a firm grasp of its language. there are free learning programs available, and cheaper applications to purchase that will bring you to a university grade reading and speaking level.
i dont know any turkish so i cant really be helpful to you i dont think. i only know french and german.
turkish is much closer to japanese than it is to english. not difficult for them to learn japanese, the flow is pretty easy.
No, you don't.
For speaking, absent of every other tip everyone will give you - just try speaking. Just record yourself and listen to yourself back. Sometimes it helps to come up with someone you wouldn't mind sounding like (preferably someone who sounds nice to other people too) and just try and mimic their accent and the flow they speak with.
You can also ask your teacher what part of England he's from and, I suppose, study the accent there. If nothing else, it's good conversation practice.
I can't help you outside of that because I am an extremely busy horse, but I wish you luck and I hope there's a tiny bit of wisdom in anything I just typed that might help you.
i actually somehow have 5 turkish friends, 2 of them are fluent in japanese. they're trying to interest me in turkish language, but thats a pretty far jump, even for me.
anyways, just keep trying man, if you want it bad enough you'll get it. i wish you good luck, i dont think theres a chance for me and japanese in this lifetime lol. i will stick to my nordic and norse root languages instead, or i will master nothing =p
Sometimes some people need to start their learning with Spoken English.
Not everyone learns the same way, and there is also Internet, "English" which can confuse things further.
So sometimes there are short, free youtubes with simple examples of English that you could watch, pause, mimic, and re-watch.
Try to search for short lectures on topics you are studying or need to do presentations on. That way the topic is familiar, and relevant.
But as other people have said, nothing will replace actual conversation with a patient English-Speaker so try the ideas other people have suggested
