Improving my English Though I believe I can speak decent English, I usually don't go beyond basics in my speech and in writing. I've never been in any English-speaking country yet and rarely had any meaningful conversation with a native speakers as well. I usually have no problems reading articles and books in English and understanding what they say in movies in general if it's not some fancy slang. Still there are a lot words I don't know, phrases I don't understand. The point is, because I felt like I already know English, I didn't have real motivation to improve it. Damn, that was really arrogant. In fact, I barely read more than 10 books in English. Now I'm ready to continue my journey of discovering beautiful world of English language! I really enjoy reading a good book and feel that intellectual pleasure of seeing a well-structured sentence or a fancy dialogue like the ones in Isaac Azimov's books.
