Reading or listening, which do I need to put first?
Just now, my friend and I got a discussion about which needs have been put first between reading and listening English. Normally, I used to read some English articles or other writings as the primary way of learning English, my friend considered I should have put listening first. I don't know who was right, maybe both of us were right, and maybe I need to listen to her indeed.
Alright, I will try to find some material about listening from tomorrow, one of my friend once told me a good website for learning English, that there were some short videos of movies with subtitle in, and those videos could be paused anytime if I want. I've still remembered the account of me what I once registered. so I will go to try tomorrow.

Reading or listening, which do I need to put first?
Just now, my friend and I got into a discussion about which needs to be put first when*1 studying English: reading or listening. Normally, I used to read some English articles or other writings as my primary way of learning English, my friend thinks that I should have put listening first. I don't know who was right, maybe both of us were right, and maybe I should listen to her indeed.Alright, I will try to find some material about listening for*2 tomorrow, one of my friends once told me a good website for learning English, that there were some short videos of movies with subtitle in, and those videos could be paused anytime if I wanted. I still remember my account, so I will try that tomorrow.
*1 See this website for how to use 'when'
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/as-when-or-while
*2 'from' you get something from somewhere eg. I'll get it from the kitchen. I used for here because it sounds like you are preparing something 'for' tomorrow,

Reading or listening, which one do I need to put first?
Just a moment ago (since you are talking about something that has already happened), my friend and I got into a discussion about which needs to be put first between reading and listening English. Normally, I usually (it is a habit) read some articles in English (they are written in English, not about the language itself, so this way seems more correct) or other writings as the primary way of learning English. My friend considers (your friend still thinks that way in the present) I should put listening first. I don't know who was right, maybe both of us were right, and maybe I need to listen to her indeed.Alright, I will try to find some material about listening from tomorrow (you could also say "starting tomorrow", "from tomorrow on"...). One of my friends (or "a friend of mine") once told me a good website for learning English, where there were some short videos of movies with subtitles in, and those videos could be paused anytime if I wanted (it is n hypothetical situation). I've still remembered the (or "my") account of me what I once registered. so I will go to the try tomorrow.

Depends how you want to use the language I'd say. If you simply want to read articles, say for your studies or to use as reference material and express yourself in writing, then by all means forget speaking at first. If you however want to speak yourself and understand others when it comes to speech, start with speaking and English movies are a great start to get the hang of the melody of the language and pick up a few words. If you need help with something specific just drop me a message.
