Today's study Today is the first day to restart my English learning, and I have watched s short video, and learnt an important idea for learning languages, and I want to share it here with you. Make an analysis of your personality before learning languages, are you an extrovert or introvert? This is a simple view, basic but easily neglected. It is important because for different people there are different learning methods, and finding the right ways for ourselves to learn a language means that we can do half the work with double results. In terms of me, I'm an introvert, I'd like to spend time alone, study alone, I'm a chatterbox when I'm with my family or my close friends while I'm a wallflower when I with the casual acquaintances. But, although I'm a chatterbox when I'm with my close friends, I'm shy to speak English in front of them. It seems like, the closer we are to each other, the better I wish to perform in front of them. So the proper way for me to learn English is to learn and practice alone instead of studying with others I know. There are some advantages for studying alone, for example, I could have more time to spend on memorizing vocabularies or grammar, and I like writing something in English, besides , I'm better at listening. But there are some obvious disadvantages , for instance, I'm not good at oral English, I don't know how to express my feelings. Sometimes I know what I want to say and I have made sentences in my head for thousands of times, but I couldn't open my mouth for being tongue-tied. And I don't practice the new words for enough times, so I learn some and lose some. So how to improve my spoken English is my top priority. And what I'm doing now is to talk in some chat groups of some apps, since there is nobody know me in the real life, I won't be worried about that they will laugh at my accent or pronunciation although I know they won't do that. And also, I watch some videos, and after that I talk with myself about the idea, the expressions or something else of them, and question myself then give answers. Well, I hope I can keep on learning everyday, and practice in the chat groups, and improve my oral English day by day.

Hi MerryYang it's very true you should know yourself and your learning style in order to improve your oral skills. There are also many other things you can do in order to improve.And the main thing is to have a go at speaking and not to be embarrassed or shy, or afraid to make a mistake.You will learn from the mistakes that you make.
