yuki's notebook entry: Sep 18, 2010 For the past few weeks, I've had a lot of chances to enjoy chatting with friends in English and I realized how I became very indifferent to the subtle nuances of expressions and words. I feel my speaking has degraded in a huge degree. I can't ignore the awkwardness i feel when speaking. However, friends say that my English hasn't changed since they first met me. Which means it hasn't degraded (luckily)or made any progress(sadly). I've known them for about 5 years! How does everyone improve their English overall skills?
