It is time to get out of lagged English that I have spent for over 10 years.
I just have found this worthy website when I look around the youtube in order to get to know the reason why I am not able to improve my English although I have spent so many years to learn it.
The thing I have found on Youtube video was about the way people who study English is totally away from the way it advances. A speaker on that video said that when we meet a new word and try to memorize that word we have tried to learn every meaning of the word all at once. He said this method is definitely wrong to learn a language. What we have to do when we learn the new words, he said, is to memorize a word in different situation with different example sentences. Oh, it is even hard to explain how it works. Anyway, I understood what he said and I think that is a key point to learn the language.
The reason why I am still looking for some materials from which I can get some idea to be influent in English is probably that I am not exposed in circumstances getting accustomed to English. And I didn't try to be either. The second reason is that I don't challenge to use and practice new words I get after I get to know them. So learning new words and memorizing them doesn't make me familiar with them or feel comfortable to use them because I don't try to use them!
With this notebook, I am going to make fun of(?) all the new words I got from my voca book. I hope that I will be like English native speaker so that I can survive and have competitiveness from the fierce business world.

In English, "make fun of" means to tease, laugh at, or joke about (someone) in a mocking or unkind way. Instead I would write: I am going to have fun with all the new words I got from my vocab book.
