My second long message in Slowly app. Hello, everyone! Earlier I wrote here my message from Slowly app. But my partner is Russian too and I want to get a check my message here. I don't copy past my partner's message but my message is the answers for his questions. I think that the message will be understood without questions. Text of message: "These series of books have audio additional to books too. It's useful to listen to the audio after reading the text. Penguin Random House is obviously the same publisher as Penguin readers. Speaking can be practiced in so apps as Tandem with native speakers. But I don't have speaking practice now. It's extremely hard to learn the language by yourself. Therefore I haven't yet had speaking practice. It's hard to cover all aspects of self-learning: reading, writing, listening, speaking and grammar. Reading and grammar are the simplest things you can do. This is what we all did in school and university. You can listen to podcasts, audiobooks, watch a movie and TV-series, but you need to make yourself to try to understand what you heard. Writing. Slowly is a great app for it. When would I still write a lot of text at a time? But I think you need someone who can check your text sometimes. Lang-8 closed registration to new users. I'd like to register for Lang-8 but I can't do it. There is italki when you can try to check your text. Speaking, it seems to me, is the hardest part of self-learning. You need time, you need an idea for conversation, you need bravery to do it))) What to talk about with stranger? I don't know. You need to collect the ideas for the conversations to be prepared to speak. I don't have a tutor.)))"
