Learning Foreign languages I have been studying English for several years, although I don´t feel confortable either talking nor writing in English. What really struggle me is the fact that I can communicate with english speaker but not inthe same way as I would like to do it. It is so depressing... When I have to make an english listening, I put all my best efforts on taking some notes in order to anwer all questions related to the conversation or the story of the listening. I take all the notes that I can to get the highest marks, but when I correct them I realise about my deficiencies in listening skill. What can I do? I know that sentences "practise makes perfect" but it sounds like is no for me. Apart from that, if I can´t understand the ordinary conversation I won´t be able to speak English like a native person. In fact, some words are greek to me. I try to find them in a online dictionary but I can remember all of them. I would really appreciate if anyone could provide me with a clear references of what steps I must follow to get better results. Thank you in advance
