A little bit down learning English

Sometimes, I feel I down about my progress with learning English.  It's like I'm not progressing and I feel like can't do this. It is difficult when you do not have all the time you want in order to study. And even more so when you do not  have anyone to guide you. I know that I can express some ideas and feelings, but I certainly know that I can't write and academic essay, and I don't know if I'm going   I can learn how to in a few months.

I guess sometimes all seems bad, and it's difficult to be positive all the time. I know that, I must put more effort in this goal and try to be more positive. The only thing I know is that I am at least trying...


Great Job

No worries! I am struggling with my spanish, and it's very frustrating that I do not have the time to study like I want to. But it is a process and I have to remind myself of that every single day!

A little bit down learning English

Sometimes I feel down about my progress at learning English. I feel as though I am not progressing, like I am not going to do it. It is difficult when you have little time to study and no one to guide you. I can express some ideas and feelings but I am unable to write an academic essay. I do not know how I will achieve this in this few months.

I guess when all seems to be going wrong, it is difficult to be positive all the time. I know I must put more effort in this goal and be more positive. I am at least trying...


Never give up, Vivi. I am learning French at the moment and am struggling with the listening comprehension. You will succeed. What you have written here is good. Keep practicing every day and gradually you will improve and reach the level you want to reach.  Keep on keeping on.

A little bit down learning English

Sometimes I feel I down about my learning English. Like I'm not progressing, like I'm not going to be able to do this.** It is difficult when you haven't all the time you want to study and even more when you haven't anyone to guide you. I know that I can express some ideas and feelings but I certainly know that I can't* write an academic essay, and I don't know if I'm going to learn and do that in this few months.

I guess sometimes all seems bad, and it's difficult to be positive all the time. I know that I must put more effort in this goal and try to be more positive. The only thing I know is that I am at least trying...

*can..

**the future of 'can' is, rather strangely, 'will be able to'. For example ''I will can go to the cafe'' = ''I will be able to go to the cafe'''.   ''You will can see the film on Friday'' = ''You will be able to see the film on Friday''. Don't worry that you did not get that right. English is bizarre here. 'Will can...' as an idea is good, but it is bad English. We say instead 'will be able to ...''

Aha! Your writing is very good and I think you underestimate it. It was very clear and in good English. I don't think you should worry.
