Repetition is the mother of skill
Even though learning English can be considered as a skill, it is not as fun as other skills, playing a video game for example. While you are playing the video game, you probably immerse yourself to a virtual world entirely. Apparently, learning English is not as easy as playing games and you are more often absent-minded or distractive while you are studying.
For a new video game, the performance at the beginning may not be as good, sometimes may be as worse. What makes it attractive is that it's not so easy and through a few practices you will develop a better situation. With the eager to challenge and the patient to practice constantly, you will enjoy progressing little by little. You might have an opportunity to become a master if you are born with a little talent. As the saying repetition is the mother of skill.

In 2011 I had the opportunity of taking an exchange English course in Toronto, Canada. I spent just a month immerse to the English world. I stayed in a Phillipine family, and my host mother Pia used to repeat the saying "Practice makes perfect." She knew how hard it was to me, English was her second language as well. Once she told me her journey about how she learned English, and she said it was too important to repeat the words aloud and to read a lot to acquire more vocabulary. I think what becomes the languange process more difficult is that it demands too much dedication and effort. In my case, for instance, I have nobody to speak with, and it happens to almost all countries where English is not a mandatory language. It's hard to find a person who speaks English around my neighborhood. Perhaps this is the reason why so many people start studying it and stop before achieving the fluency. It's not rare to see people who lost their motivation due to the barriers they faced in a certain moment of their studies journey. We also have to consider the time spent to get to the higher levels. It's normally a lonely way which you have to follow with determination and confidence. I hopped on this boat in 2003, when I decided to take an undergraduation course and I'm still here overcoming all highs and lows that I have faced during my journey. I started from zero, when I was 21 years old. People got surprised when they saw my persistence. I was blessed by all advice I received that time and I hope to see more and more significant results from all my effort and dedication.
