Hi David
First of all, congratulations on your success with learning English! It's always good to hear of people who can get over the hurdles and difficulties of learning a foreign language!

For writing / listening skills development, the best way to improve is through practice. Listen as much as you can to as wide a variety of conversations, interviews etc. But you'll also need to expand your vocabulary, which is where reading widely will help. Make sure you know the pronunciation of new words so you can recognise them when you hear them. Reading for vocabulary development will also help your writing skills.

If you have a general question about English, feel free to post it in the Help Me! forum. I answer questions there every day. If you have a specific question or comment about something on one of the pages, feel free to post a comment on the page.

Regarding the CELTA, I'd just like to say it's quite a difficult course, and you definitely need a native-like level of English. Did you get any specific feedback from the course organisers about where you need to improve English? Was it grammar / vocabulary / pronunciation, etc?
