I think all 4 activities are needed to be fluent. Hello, long time no see. These days, I haven't visited here. All of sudden, I wanted to write anything here. I was considering what to write. When I was in an university, I read a popular Korean book 'Never ever study English' The point was that English was something to learn, not a topic to study like physics and mathematics. So the writer suggested a way to learn English was keeping listening. It was a sensation in Korea at that time because we focused on vocabularies and grammar to learn English at that age. Of course, some people criticized the point saying that listening was not enough to master English. I also thought that way was not enough. but it allowed me to consider English funny thing. So I accepted the way 'keeping listening'. Since that, my main way to learn English was listening and memorizing it. The material was mainly news such PBS and NBC. But it was not that practical 'cause the expression was professional and a little difficult. So I changed the material from the news to 'Dear abby' I think it was a consultative radio program in U.S. The program had more practical expressions I could use than the news. But I always felt thirsty of English. I want to be a fluent English speaker which means understanding over 80% of any English topics and communicating on the topics. To reach that level, I think I have to pratice all 4 activities such as listening, reading, writing and speaking instead of listening-centric way. Until now, it's my resolution to be a fluent English speaker. Thank you for reading.
