Learning English

My first experience learning English was difficult. Whatever, learning a new language aren’t easy, because it isn’t a mother tongue. Not only you should train your listening, but also you should learn speaking and writing. First of all, you have to continuous exercise your listening by any ways. If you can’t listen to English words, you won’t understand anything. I had an experience for listening, our classmate said a sentence that had a word “restaurant”, but I mistook the word, I thought it was “restroom”. So I didn’t understand the mean of the sentence. It spent a lot of time for understand. Moreover, Speaking is essential. When you want to express your thought, you have to speak with others. If you can’t express your ideas accurately, you will achieve nothing. So if you want speak very well, you should often talk with other people in English. It can improve your speaking ability. Also, take a regular college to learn English is a most important way. Last of all, writing is basic of listening and speaking. Writing is a most basic form with other people exchange as well. However, Just listening and speaking aren’t enough. We often use the writing in job and life. We have to send letters or E-mail to each other. So writing is the most basic skill. Also, PCC is a good place for learning English. They have courses of grammar and writing, listening and speaking, and reading for ESL students. Those courses can improve your new language very much. In conclusion, learning English is very difficult for anyone. You have to continually study for a long times. You have to remember a lot of words repeatedly, because you always forget them.
