Correct Me If I'm Wrong! I've been a member (free and paid) for several language sites for months now and I don't think I've made any progress at all. It's kind of difficult to find the right partners. I've met a few but most of them have no interest like mine which I think is important to build a conversation. With a little observation, I think It's best for me to find billigual people who speak English and my native language as well. That way we can correct each other and learn from it at the same time. I'm an avid reader and have difficulties in understanding many English words in books I read. Sometimes I use Google translator but it's just not enough. I want to be able to understand every single word. I am an easily discouraged person. One mistake and I'll stop trying (not in every case though). I remember that time when I talked to a Dutch guy and asked him question over simple word and he responded with this kind of comment, "You should've studied/ googled it first on the internet before you come to me and ask such simple thing." I was like, "What the heck!" I stopped trying ever since and moved my focus fully on English. I may not be the best student to some people but I'm willing to learn. PS: Thank you for correcting. I really appreciate it. :)
