Why is so hard!!! I love English, I think I've always loved it, but is a kind of impossible when I speak, the pronunciation and something called stressed words. I think for me is easily writing and sometimes listening, why is it sound so different when I listen a person in front of me, when I watch series even when I listening some songs? I just started with my classes on italki since 3 weeks ago, but I feel like I will never be capable of become fluent.

I love English. I think I've always loved it, but it is kind of impossible to speak it well. The pronunciation and the so-called stressed words are especially hard for me; on the other hand, writing and listening are generally easy for me. Why does it sound so different when hearing it in conversation in comparison to TV series or songs? I just started taking classes on Italki 3 weeks ago, but I feel as if I will never be capable of reaching fluency.



Since is used a bit differently in English than in some related languages such as German. That said, it is often used wrong, even by advanced speakers.

Examples with Since:

Good:
Since I started learning English, I have been busy.
Ever since high school, I've found her pretty.

Bad:
Since three months, I have lived here.
Good:
I have lived here for three months.

Why is it so difficult?!

I love English, I think I've always loved it, but it is kind of impossible when I speak, in terms of pronunciation and something called stressed words. I think, for me,writing and sometimes listening are easy but why does it sound so different when I listen to a person in front of me, when I watch series, even when I am listening to songs? I just started with my classes on italki 3 weeks ago, but I feel like I will never be capable of becoming fluent.

Hola Aracely, no está mal.
Do/does es un verbo auxiliar, que se necesita para indicar que es una pregunta sobre un verbo, (una acción).
Since - desde una fecha.
Poco a poco, Aracely. Recuerdo lo difícil fue aprender español ¡y sigo haciendo errores! El otro día, fui a una heladería y pedí una cucuracha con helado de chocolate.
Buena suerte. Saludos desde España. Simón.

How many years did you learn Spanish before you became fluent? Maybe practicing every single day for 16 years? Yeah? And now you are saying that because you can't understand English sentences in 3 weeks, you will NEVER be able to learn English. You need to be patient. 2 hours of English per day for 6 months will get you very far
