studying another language Have you ever felt about this, or do you think this is true? (Please correct the weird place in the sentence, thanks!) Once you learn a non-native language, there are some steps of improvement of language skill in a long term period. However some people might have noticed, "hey! my speaking skill is getting worse!!" or "When I speak, I'm having more trouble in grammar than before...". I often feel this after learning another language. Then some one (actually he was a professional language teacher) told me that your language skill will temporary get worse after a hard studying, it's because of reforming of language-knowledge in the brain. Once you learn a lot of new things at once, the brain will start lose all those incorrect information you had before, or start trying to use new things, at that time your language skill would get much weaker; however, once you get used to use those new things you learned, you will perform much better than before learning them.
