Why learning English is so difficult to me? At school I really didn't like learning english. I started my studies when I went to university, just because I understood that speaking (and reading) english was an important skill to improve. I was 17 and I've done 3 years of a regular course - from the beginning to the intermediated until gave up. At this time I didn't enjoy it at all, and I was sure that I was spending money with no results. After some years, I went for the first time to another country. That experience changed my view about the language and I returned to Brasil planning start studying english again. I did my inscription at a language school and re-started my studies. After 3 years more of studying, I still think english a very difficult language. I thought that my resistance at the beginning was the reason of my slowly progress, but now - when I really like the language and have fun learning it - it stills very difficult. I don't know if it's something related to the distance between english and my mother language (portuguese) or if it's just something that I'm doing wrong. Probably I should change my methods, try to speak more (I'm a very shy person, and it's very problematic when you are not confident about an specific skill) and find ways to get more involved with the language.

Why is learning English is so difficult to for me?

At school I really didn't like learning english. I started my studies when I went to university, just because I understood that speaking (and reading) english English was an important skill to improve. I was 17 and I've done 3 years of a regular course - from the beginning to the intermediated until gave up giving up/I gave up. At this time I didn't enjoy it at all, and I was sure that I was spending money with no results. After some years, I went for the first time to another country to another country for the first time. That experience changed my view about the language and I returned to Brasil planning start studying English again. I did my inscription enrolled at a language school and re-started my studies. After 3 years more more years of studying, I still think english is a very difficult language. I thought that my resistance at the beginning was the reason of for my slowly progress, but now - when I really like the language and have fun learning it - it's stills very difficult. I don't know if it's something related to the distance differences between English and my mother language (Portuguese) or if it's just something that I'm doing wrong. Probably I should change my methods, try to speak more (I'm a very shy person, and it's very problematic when you are not confident about in an specific skill) and find ways to get more involved with the language.


Good job! Speaking (Spanish) also makes me nervous, but the more I push myself to do it the better I feel - although there are still days when I struggle with anxiety.
