My second notebook entry: Why do I want to study English Hello again! Recently I have read a wonderful book which explaned a lot of ways on how to learn English. Some of them I knew, but the book gave me more thoughts about how to do it more effectively, such us to join Italki, Quizlet and so on. I was surprised that the Internet, motivation and practice are enough for effective studying. I have been learning English since I was 11. It was at school, university, courses, and by myself. Most of the time I couldn't practice my speaking and listening skills. Honestly speaking, I was lazy and didn`t have motivation. Now I have more free time I decided to spend it with profit. Unfortunately, there are almost no native (but it's not necessary) English speakers where I live. So I want to meet new foreign friends here.
