Hi friends, I wonder if interested members in this topic checked the replies to my post to the teacher Diana:
http://www.helping-you-learn-english.com/efl-learners-how-to-use-the-language.html Well, the other day I read this: http://www.helping-you-learn-english.com/improving-listening-skills1.html I took me some time to find that page. I wanted to share these lines with you: "The Secret to Learning English - Never giving up. That is it. You just keep going. - If you are frustrated that you don't understand, keep trying. - If you are mad that you can't communicate as freely as you would like, try harder. - If you are sick of being mis-understood, repeat yourself until you make yourself clear. You'll Never Fail, Unless You Stop Trying :)" Well, if you notice, the girl who asks (Maria) went to USA to STUDY English, very hard, during 3 years! And she needs to improve her listening and doesn't feel confident! I've read it's a mistake to go to countries like US to study instead to PRACTICE. I mean, you can study whatever you consider interesting, or convenient, but not English... You know what I mean. Well, it's not good to write so long emails, isn't it? ;) It's not so convenient for busy readers, isn't it?
