These two are very, very similar but just slightly different!

All coworkers are colleagues but not all colleagues are coworkers.

Let me explain.

• If I work with James at the same company and see him every day then he is my coworker.
• However, Sarah works at the same company but I don’t work directly with her. She is a colleague.

So coworkers are people that you directly work with and perhaps have a personal relationship with whereas a colleague is someone that you don’t see a lot, however you know they work at the same place as you.

Going abroad isn’t always a realistic option for becoming fluent in a language, so here are some tips to improve your English speaking, and increase your fluency at home.

1. Completely surround yourself with English

Forget about learning a language from 1-2 hours of reading a book. Is it possible? Maybe. Is it realistic? NO. Getting yourself used to the language is a must for improving your speaking fluency. How can you surround yourself?

Easy:

• Listen and read the news in English. There are plenty of online resources from different countries. (BBC, CNN, ABC)
• Play English music at home or in your car. Get a music player licensed in your country for more options (ie: Spotify)
• Read lyrics while listening. If you’re not sure of English music, check out: The Billboard Hot 100 list
• Translate your favorite songs into English!
• English podcasts
• Expand your TV and movie choices to more English (use English subtitles). Think: Netflix.
• Watch fun YouTube videos, or from another video source. (Vsauce is a very interesting channel)
• Follow English blogs. Google (your interest) + blog. For example: rock music blog.
• Explore the English section at your local library.
• Join English clubs/groups, (locally or virtually) Check out local newspapers, magazines, or online: International MeetUp.
• Use social media to connect with English speakers across the world. Don’t forget to status update, tweet, and comment in English!
• Hobbies in English! Cook using an English recipe, craft or build with English instructions.
• Going to the store? Things to do? Practice writing all your lists in English!
• Listen to English audio while you sleep! 

2. Stop thinking that only speaking will improve your English speaking fluency

Being able to speak does not happen overnight, and it definitely doesn’t happen without knowing some grammar. Reading exposes you to new vocabulary, proper word order, sentences construction, and can introduce you to new grammar naturally. Writing is a way for you to give more attention to making your own correct sentences, and using correct English grammar. Studying all skills in English is extremely important for speaking fluency.

براي يادگيري زبان انگليسي راه هاي مختلفي وجود دارد، با اين حال براي آنكه بتوان انگليسي را خوب و مانند يك انگليسي زبان صحبت كرد، بهترين كار اين است كه آنچه مي شنويم را از منابع صحيح و قابل اعتماد انتخاب كنيم.

يكي از منابع معتبر انگليسي درست و موثق، فيلم هاي انگليسي مي باشد. چون معمولا اين فيلم ها در آمريكا و انگلستان ساخته مي شود، زبان مادري بازيگران اين فيلم ها، انگليسي مي باشد، بنابراين مكالمه آنها قابل اعتماد ترين نوع انگليسي مي باشد.

 دلايل زيادي براي يادگيري انگليسي از طريق فيلم وجود دارد، اين 6 دليل از مهمترن آنها مي باشد. 

1-هرگز تمرين مكالمه انگليسي را متوقف نكنيد

اصلي ترين قسمت انگليسي، مكالمه آن بوده و اگر بر روي مكالمه خود به صورت مداوم كار نكنيد، زمان رسيدن به هدفتان طولاني تر مي شود. پس بهتر مي باشد طبق برنامه اي مشخص روزانه به تمرين مكالمه بپردازيد

2- هر روز كلمه هاي تازه ياد بگيريد

لغات اين زبان حتي از لغات زبان چيني هم بيشتر بوده و بنابراين يادگيري كلمات انگليسي تمامي ناپذير هستند. هر روز ده يا بيشتر لغت ياد بگيريد. براي اين كار حتي مي توانيد از سايت هاي خوب و يا كتاب هاي موجود در بازار نيز استفاده كنيد

 this sense, “playing around” can be used for “surfing” the internet.  I’ve

 noticed a lot of non native speakers ALWAYS say they are surfing the

 internet.  If you want to be more native, mix it up.  Sometimes say “surfing”,

 sometimes say “playing around”, and sometimes say “goofing around”.  They

 all mean the same thing in this context.  Here are 3 examples.  Use them all

 from time to time.

1.  I spent all afternoon surfing the internet.

2.  I spent all afternoon playing around on the internet.

3.  I spent all afternoon goofing around on the internet.
